 Revised from Dr. O'Meara's Book of common 

 prayer, by Rev. J. A. Gilfillan with the aid of 

 three balf-breeds, P. Beaulieu, T. A. Warren, 

 and F. Bellair. 



Mr. Gilfillan, in a letter to the compiler of 

 tbis bibliography, says: "Being only a revi- 

 sion ofatranslation by one whose mother tongue 

 was not Chippewa, it is not purely idiomatic."

I am informed by Mr. Gilfillan that this is a 

 revised edition of the little Chippewa prayer- 

 book published in 1875; that it was revised by 

 him, assisted whenever any doubt arose by vari- 

 ous Indians whom he called to his aid; that it 

 contains perhaps forty hymns which were not in 

 the prayer-book of 1875, and that most of these 

 are from the collections of the Rev. Peter 

 Jones and the Revs. Evans and Henry, though 

 a few, as Nos. 7, 8, and 15, are original transla- 

 tions.
