Favre ( Pere Bona venture). [Montagnais- 

 French Dictionary.] 



Manuscript, pp. 1-391, 3 unnumbered pp. 8°, 

 in the library of Laval University, Quebec. Pp. 

 44-45 are duplicated, the first one of each num- 

 ber being partially blank. All the numbered 

 pages bear at the top the words Jesus t Maria. 

 On the first page, in a handwriting different 

 from the text, is : "P. Bonaventura Faber, an- 

 ther hujus farraginis." 



The manuscript, bound in coarse gray cloth, 

 is well preserved, and though not in an elegant 

 handwriting, is legible. At the bottom of p. 

 885 we read "Ad Stae Crucis Tad83saci ad IT. 

 D. B. V. et om Stoln gloria. Inchoata 20 9^'" 

 1695, finita 20 Martii 1696, ad Stae Crucis Tadus- 

 saci [sicj." Between brackets, but in another 

 handwriting, immediately above the preceding, 

 we read: "P. Bonaventura Favre seu Faber 

 collegit." Below to the right: "Seq"^ app^." 

 Finally on the first unnumbered leaf, a,ttached 

 to the boarding after the words "Seminaire de 

 Qu6bec," is found the following note : "LeP. 

 Bonaventure Favre ou Faber, anteur de ce dic- 

 tionnaire, 6tait un J6suite arriv6 fin Canada] 

 en 1679 et mort en 1693. Ceci est une copie faite 

 k Tadoussac, commenc6e le 20 novembre, 1695, 

 et finie le 20 mars 1696."

 F6rard. This word following a title or within

 of the work referred to has been seen by the 

 compiler in the library of the Abb6 Martin Fe-

 ada. 



Ferard (Abbe Martin). [Dictionary of 

 the Odjibue language : Odjibue-En- 

 glish and English-Odjibue. ] 



Manuscript, sm. 4°, in possession of its 

 author, who was for many years a missionary 

 among the OJibwas around Lake Superior. I 

 first saw this manuscript when the Abbe Fe- 

 rard was stationed at the Sault au Recollet, 

 Island of Montreal, in 1882. Later, in the sum- 

 mer of 1889, I again visited him, when he wa» 

 in the House of the Immaculate Conception, a 

 retreat near Montreal belonging to St. Mary's 

 College. At my request the abb6 has described 

 the manuscript for me as follows: 



The intended Dictionary will be in Odjibue- 

 English and English Odjibue — not French. 



I shall follow the same order as that adopted 

 in Hebrew and Sanscrit dictionaries; that is, 

 the alphabetic order of the roots. 



The radical meaning of each root will be 

 given at the head of each one; hence its deri- 

 vated meanings will appear more clearly, just 

 like the rays emanating from one center. The 

 number of the roots amounts to about 1,300; 

 and please remember that in Odjibue a root is 

 properly the qualificative applied to natural 

 objects to specify them. 



In the beginning of the dictionary I shall 

 give an alphabetic list of all the natural ob- 

 jects (entering or used only, nearly all, in com- 

 position), with their meanings. The number 

 of natural objects known to the Indians and 

 employed in composition, that is, specified by 

 a qualificative, amo unts to about 445. 



I have so far written about 1,600 pages, which 

 is the third part, about, of the whole letter A. 

 But I have developed fully the beginning of 

 this letter, to accustom the philologist to the 

 various terminations of the words ; henceforth 

 I shall abridge considerably, contenting myself 

 with indicating the formation, otherwise there 

 would be no end to the work. The whole dic- 

 tionary Odjibue-English may amount perhaps 

 to about 1,200 pages in print, one of which will 

 contain easily six or eight pages of the manu- 

 script. 



The English-Odjibue is intended to be con 

 cise; an English word will be referred to the 

 proper Indian root, and then, as the deriva- 

 tives are laid down in alphabetical order, it will 

 be easy to arrive at the required meaning of 

 the word looked for. 



I intend to give a new edition of the Grammar
