Dictionuaire de racines de cette

 Manuscript, 900 pp. Title from Maurault's 

 Histoire des Abenakis, p. 504, whence the fol- 

 lowing note is taken : 



Lesueur was born in 1685 at Lunel in Langue- 

 doc. He joined the Jesuit order and was sent 

 to the missions in America, arriving in Canada 

 in June, 1715. He remained at Sillery nine 

 months studying the Abnaki language, and in 

 September, 1716, was sent to the Abnakis of 

 Becancourt, which is situated, much nearer 

 the Trois-Kivi^res than St. Francis [Pierre- 

 ville], where he lived until 1753, with the ex- 

 ception of a few years, at different times. In 

 1753 he went to Quebec, where he died in 1755, 

 aged 70 years. 



He was well versed in the Abnaki language 

 and wrote a dictionary of roots in that lan- 

 guage; this work is still preserved. Besides 

 other manuscripts he left several [in Abnaki 1] 

 containing sermons, instructions upon the sac- 

 raments and morals.
