[Sermons in the Nipissing dialect.] 



Manuscript, pp. 1-20 and 56 unnumbered il. 

 4°. There is no title-page or list of contents ; 

 the sermons are dated in the years in which 

 they were delivered, perhaps by his successors, 

 some bearing several dates, from 1797 to 1822. 

 The six manuscripts titled above are pre- 

 served in the library of the Catholic church at 

 the mission of Lacdes Deux Moritagnes (Oka), 

 Canada. 



[Words, phrases, and sentences in 



the Nipissing language.] 



Manuscript ; a fragment consisting of 2 11. 

 the verso of the first of which is blank, 4°, in 

 the possession of the compiler of this bibliog- 

 raphy. In poor condition. French equivalents 

 frequently appear. At the top of the first page 

 are the terms "Passion, Resurrection, Sur la 

 perfection," etc. 



"Jean Claude Mathevet, a Sulpitian mission- 

 ary, whose Indian name was Wakwi, was born 

 in the diocese of Viviers, in France, in 1717. He 

 came to Canada in 1740, and was missionary at 

 Lac des Deux Montagues from 1746 to 1781, 

 where he learned the Algonkin and Iroquois 

 languages. He has left in the former several 

 manuscript sermons, a catechism (which has 

 been printed, with corrections, several times 

 since 1830), and a history of the old and new 

 testament, which I had printed in 1859-61, and 

 of which, as the edition is entirely exhausted, 

 I am at present preparing a new one. In the 

 Iroquois he has composed sermons, prayers, and 

 a grammatical essay. He died in 1781, aged 64 

 years."— Ottog. 



It is probable that the catechism referred to 

 by the Abbe Cuoq is that described herein un- 

 der Nihima. 



Mathevet (J. C.) — Continued. 



I have seen Mathevet referred to by the In- 

 dian name of " Taiorhensere ; " perhaps that is 

 his Iroquoian and "Wakwi" his Algonquian 

 name.

Manuscript ; title as above on the recto of 

 the first leaf, the text, consisting of sermons in 

 the Montagnais language, beginning on the 

 verso and continuing through four other un- 

 numbered pages, followed by two blank leaves 

 and 1 leaf, on the recto of which are some re- 

 marks in Latin, verso blank, 4°. 



This manuscript, preserved in the library of 

 the archbishopric of Quebec, is bound with Sil- 

 vy (A.), Instructions Montagnaises; it is written 

 on paper a little smaller than that of the remain- 

 der of the volume. 



Pere Maurice was a native of Passy, France, 

 and came to Canada in 1734 with the Peres Xau 

 and Coquart. He left Quebec June 14, 1740, to 

 succeed Pere Laure, who had died two years 

 before, and was a missionary at Chicoutimi 

 and Tadoussac until 1745, when he became ill, 

 his death occurring March 20, 1746, at the age 

 of forty-two.
