Crespieul (F. X. ) — Continued. 



having four titles, from left to right : Algonkin, 

 Montagnais, Abanaki, Esquimaux. The first 

 two colaiuns only are in the handwriting of 

 Father Crespieul. On pages 2 and 3 the first 

 column and the commencement of the second 

 are in his handwriting ; the succeeding pages, 

 as far as leaf 13, have only the Algonkin col- 

 umn by Father Crespieul. The text of the col- 

 umn devoted to the language of the Esquimaux 

 disappears on the recto of leaf 3. The Abnaki 

 column of the same leaf is incomplete. The 

 texts of the four columns occur on pages 4 and 

 5, but are not a translation of the same prayers. 

 On pages 5 and 6 the Montagnais column is 

 incomplete ; the last two blank. Only the Al- 

 gonkin text appears from the 6th to the 9th leaf, 

 -where the Montagnais text reappears in the 

 prayers for the living and the dead. The 

 Algonkin and Montagnais columns have the 

 prayers: Ad SS. Angelos, ad S. Michaelem, ad 

 O. SS., page 11 ; ad S. Josephum, et les com- 

 nnandements de Dieu, page 12. The religious 

 songs, page 13, recto, have only two columns, the 

 Algonkin and the Montagnais. Both are by 

 Father Crespieul. The following note appears 

 at the top of the page to tha left: "Algonk— 

 prtestant Montan— et sunt magis in uso et 

 sciuntra multis — Saadeo ut nou immutentur." 



The Montagnais text is not again found un- 

 til the recto of leaf 17, is reached, where are found 

 Montagnais chants under this title: Cantitenae 

 A Montanensibus cani solitae. They are accom- 

 panied by a French translation as far as page 

 18, where, in the song for the communion, the 

 Algonkin and Montagnais texts are opposite 

 each other.
