"In presenting this small volume to the pub- 

 lic, it is not the object to offer a compendium of 

 the Holy Scripture, but only to give the red 

 man a brief and clear knowledge of the most 

 remarkable events recorded in the Sacred "Writ, 

 accompanied by a few short remarks, in order 

 to accommodate them to the intelligence of the 

 natives of this continent. . . . The illus- 

 trations form an important part of this work, 

 not only because they more deeply impress on 

 the mind of the Indians the great events re- 

 corded in the Holy Scripture, but also because 

 they give a great assistance to those who are 

 ignorant of reading. This book is written in 

 Penobscot and Micmac (with an English literal 

 translation), they being the two leading dialects 

 now existing in the Abnaki nation. In the Mic- 

 mac department we have made use also of an 

 ancient manuscript of uncertain author, trans- 

 mitted to us by the indefatigable labors of 

 Eev. Edmund Demilier,— a native of France,— 

 a zealous Abnaki Missionary of the Congrega- 

 tion of Picpus." — Preface.
