[Letters from Rev. Eugene Vetro- 

 mile to Rev. Joseph M. Finotti, respect- 

 ing manuscripts and printed books in 

 the Abuaki and Micmac languages.] 



Manuscript, four letters, containing 9 11. 8°, 

 in possession of Mr. Wilberforce Eames, 

 Brooklyn, N. Y. Dated respectively from Bid- 

 deford, Dec. 7, 1864, Eastport, 19 March, 1873, 

 Jan. 19, 1875, and 28 September, 1875. They are 

 written partly in English and partly in Italian. 

 The first letter contains titles and descriptions 

 of the author's own works in Abnalii and Mic- 

 mac, with a brief account of the Micmac Hiero- 

 glyphic prayer book printed for Eev. Christian 

 Kauder. The third letter gives accounts of 

 the prayer books in Abnaki of Fathers Demilier 

 and Komagn6, of the • manuscript Micmac 

 grammar of Father Menard [i. e. MaillardJ, 

 and of the manuscript manual of prayer and 

 catechism of 62 pages in Abnaki of Father 

 Francis Ciquard, written in 1792. The fourth 

 letter contains some additional information 

 about Kauder's Micmac prayer book. Extracts 

 from these letters are given under the next 

 preceding title, and under the names of Fathers 

 Ciquard, Maillard, and Eomagn6, in the Ad- 

 denda of this bibliography. 



Eugene Anthony Vetromile was born in the 

 city of Gallipoli, in the province of Lecce, 

 Italy, on the 22d day of February, 1819. His 

 first education was under private instructors, 

 then at the College of Naples, and finally at the 

 seminary of his native city, where he was 

 graduated. Subsequently he came to this 

 country and entered Georgetown College, Dis- 

 trict of Columbia, where he finished his educa- 

 tion for the priesthood, receiving the degree of 

 doctor of divinity in 1846. For about twenty 

 years he was a member of the Society of Jesus, 

 but afterwards became an apostolic missionary 

 to the Indians, in which capacity he was con- 

 nected with the Congregation di Propaganda 

 Fide in Rome. His missionary field was among 

 the Etchemins and Abnakis of Maine, and for a 

 long time he had pastoral charge of St. Mary's 

 Church at Machias ; his more recent residence, 

 however, was at Biddeford. 



In July, 1867, he left his charge for an ex- 

 tended tour abroad. Upon his return he pub- 

 lished (1871) Travels in Europe, Egpyt, Arabia, 

 Petraea, Palestine, and Assyria. In 1876 he 

 started on an extended tour around the world, 

 and his observations will be found in his Tour 

 in both hemispheres. (New York, 1880.) 



Father Vetromile went abroad again the pres- 

 ent year, and while in his native Gallipoli was 

 seized with apoplexy and died on the 23d of 

 August, 1881. By his will he left a sum of 

 money for the benefit of the widows and or-
