Manuscript, 52 pp. 8°, in the Public Library 

 of Toronto, Canada. Under date of Nov. 15, 

 1888, Mr. James Bain, jr. chief librarian of that 

 institution, writes me as follows concerning it: 



"The manuscript is written on loose sheets, 

 stitched together after being written on, and is 

 interspersed with notes as to quantities and 

 prices of furs and goods. French is employed 

 throughout. It was presented to the library by 

 Fulton St. George, whose father, a French 

 royalist, formed one of a large party of royal- 

 ists who settled a few miles north of Toronto 

 (then York). After the return to France of 

 most of the settlement, Mr. St. George engaged 

 in business, one branch of which was the pur- 

 chase of furs. His son says that he was in the 

 habit of taking journeys into the interior to 

 trade, and especially noted one place at the out- 

 let of Lake Simcoe where he regularly opened

out his wares. All evidence fixes the date be- 

 tween 1798 & 1805." 



Mr. A. F. Chamberlain, in an article in the 

 Folklore Journal, vol. 1. p. 152, says: "It con- 

 tains, as nearly as I can estimate, some 560 

 words, some 400 verb-forms and sentences, 

 some dozen or so of proper names and half a 

 dozen snatches of songs. . . . The dialect 

 of the manuscript is undoubtedly that of the 

 Mississaguas of tht- region between York and 

 Lake Simcoe."
