Ferard (M.) — Continued. 



of Bishop Baraga, with notes and corrections. 

 If I find the time I intend to publish also a small 

 glossary comparing the Odjibue roots with 

 those of Hebrew, Sanscrit, Latin, Greek, Gothic, 

 etc. That work might perhaps please the phi- 

 lologist, and show to him that after all at least 

 the Odjibue language is not so barbarous as 

 many have fancied, and might, perhaps, ap- 

 pear to him superior to our modern and hybrid 

 languages. 



In a later communication (Feb. 9, 1890) the 

 author states : " My work goes on steadily. I 

 have almost finished the letter A, which con- 

 tains nearly 200 roots, and is by far the longest 

 of all. I thought proper to develop those roots 

 in full, in order to afford philologists an un- 

 derstanding of the genius of the Odjibue 

 language. The other roots will be shortened 

 in their development; otherwise it would take 

 too much time to finish the work. But the let- 

 ter A will be a pattern for the others, to which 

 philologists shall be referred. "
