I have seen but the one copy of this little 

 work, and know of the probable existence of 

 but one other — that catalogued by the library 

 of the Boston Athenaeum, deposited there by 

 Schoolcraft. This volume has been misplaced 

 on the shelves, and though the library author- 

 ities at my request caused diligent search to 

 be made, it has not been found.

There may have been an earlier edition of 

 this work. M. Dejean, in a letter to the Abbe 



R , at Bordeaux, Jan. 10, 1829, mentions a 



manuscript that had been sent to France to be 

 printed : " le livre de prieres qui est en usage 

 parmi les Algonkins, et qui a 6te approve par 

 I'autorite eccl6siastiquedeMontrt'al." (Annales 

 de I'Association de la Propagation de la Foi, vol. 

 4, p. 466, 1831. ) A note, p. 468, of the same vol- 

 ume, says this manuscript was being printed 

 by the association.

A few Ottawa words and phrases, with defi- 

 nitions, pp. 494-495. 



In this letter M. Dejean says: "I know already 

 enough of the language of the Ottawas to 

 converse with them. I am engaged daily in 

 compiling an Ottawa vocabulary. This lan- 

 guage is very poor; it has only enough words 

 to express what falls under the senses. * * *."

 L'Arbre-Croche le 25 octobre 1829. 



This letter, which was written by the Otta- 

 was in the absence of the missionary Dejean, 

 thanks the Council of Lyons for giving 

 them the prayer-book in their own language. 

 The signatures are totemic signs. It is accom- 

 panied by a translation in French by M. Dejean 

 "word for word, literally, to show the style of 

 the barbarous language."
