Wood (Bev. Thomas). [Grammar, etc., 

 of the Micmac language.] (*) 



Rev. T. "Wood, before going to Nova Scotia, 

 was, for some years, the Society's missionary in 

 iNew Jersey. In 1762 he attended, during an 

 illness of several weeks, the Vicar-General of 

 Quebec, M. Maillard. After residing some time • 

 at Halifax, he took up his residence, in 1763, at 

 Annapolis (formerly Port Eoyal), where he 

 remained during the rest of his life, dividing 

 his labours between Annapolis and Granville. 

 He immediately applied himself to the study of 

 the Micmac (Indian) language, with no other 

 assistance than he could derive from the 

 papers of M. Maillard, and fully determined to 

 persevere until he should be able to publish a 

 grammar, a dictionary, and a translation of the 

 bible. In 1766 he sent home the first volume of 

 his grammar, with a translation of the creed, 

 the Lord's prayer, <fcc., and was now able to 

 minister to the Indians in their own language. 

 After a successful ministry of about thirty 

 years he died at Annapolis, on the 14th of De- 

 cember, 1118.— Spr ague. 



Mr. J. T. Bulmer, librarian of the University 

 of Dalhousie, Halifax, Nova Seotia, writes me : 

 "In the report for 1767 the Society for the 

 propagation of the gospel in foreign parts 

 acknowledgesthe receipt of several translations 

 into Micmac and the first part of his French 

 and English Micmac grammar. I am of the 

 opinion that, while Mr. Wood could translate 

 and preach in Micmac, M. Maillard's grammar 

 was really the basis of his work. Several cir- 

 cumstances lend probability to this opinion. 

 How did he come to make a French part to his 

 Micmac grammar, when the probabilities aie 

 against his knowledge of that language ? So 

 far as I have been able to ascertain none of his 

 works were printed, and I have made frequent 

 applications to the society in London for his 

 manuscripts, but in vain."
