 3. A paper on Micmac grammar, copied from 

 the Eoyal Gazette of Charlottetown, which 

 was published by a Mr. Irving about fifty years 

 ago. — i. A lot of papers on the same subject. 

 The whole was gathered up and bound together 

 for the use of a Roman Catholic priest, then 

 of Pictou, N. S., now bishop Eonald McDonald, 

 of Newfoundland, who wished to learn the 

 language. He assured me it was of great 

 service to him."

This is a transcript, probably, of one of the 

 manuscript Eoraan Catholic prayer books. 

 Some of the hieroglyphs differ considerably in 

 shape from the same figures in the books 

 printed for Father Kauder. The order of the 

 text also varies somewhat from that of "der 

 kleine Katechismus," printed on pp. 23-27 of 

 Kauder's Katechismus. Each page contains a 

 single column of hieroglyphs, accompanied by 

 the equivalents in roman characters, and in a 

 few places by the English translation.

language. ] 



Manuscript, pp. 1-340, 5 11. 4°, bound. Pp. 1-

 lations and additions to the facing page ; from

 scribed in this book a few Micmac and Mali- 

 seet Psalms. They are chiefly literal and 

 prose translations, but arranged so as to suit 

 the tunes. The Indians at present have no 

 idea of poetry as such— as comprised in meas- 

 ureand rhyme. But they are fond of singing "
