Marest {Pere Gabriel). [Catechism and 

 collection of prayers in the Illinois lan- 

 guage.] (*) 



According to letters of the Jesuit fathers 

 from 1676 to 1702 (Relation des affaires du Ca- 

 nada), Father Marest writes to another father 

 "that priests of the Quebec seminary passing 

 one winter in his mission and not knowing the 

 Illinois language, he gave them a collection of 

 prayers and a catechism translated with there- 

 marks made on that [Illinois] language." This 

 letter is dated from the land of Illinois in New 

 France, April 29, 1699. 



Father Julien Binneteau, a Jesuit, in a letter 

 to another father of the same order (Illinois, 

 1699), says that Father Marest has the first tal- 

 ent in the world for these missions, having 

 learned the language in four or five months to 

 such a degree as to give lessons in it, of which 

 he ought to have left manuscripts. 



Gabriel Marest, orMaret, French missionary, 

 born in France; died near Peoria, III, in 1715. 

 He was sent as a missionary to Canada, and 

 labored successfully among the Illinois Indians 

 in 1697, after acquiring a good knowledge of 

 their language. He then established his mis- 

 sion permanently near Fort Peoria, and most 

 of the tribes in the neighborhood became Chris- 

 tians. Father Marest is the author of two nar- 

 ratives that have been published in the "Let- 

 tres 6difiantes." The first gives an interesting 

 account of a journey that he made to Hudson
