the ludian Prayer-book, as my translation 

 could, with a few alterations, be adapted to the 

 Indians in his diocese, speaking the Ojibwa or 

 Ottahwah languages; but found that he had 

 himself procured a translation of part of the 

 service into that language, -which he had caused 

 to be printed, and which has been for some time 

 in use. The Bishop gave me two copies of this 

 work, which is in the form of a small pamphlet, 

 and though on the title-page it professes to be 

 a translation of the Morning and Evening 

 Services, contains only the Morning Service, 

 the Litany, and the Ten Commandments, to 

 which are added a few hymus taken word for 

 word from Peter Jones's Collection. On look- 

 ing over the work, I find it very carelessly done, 

 and in many places a total misrepresentation 

 of the spirit and meaning of the Liturgy; for 

 instance, the verse Daniel ix. 9, 10, at the open- 

 ing of Morning Prayer, is translated as if it 

 were a prayer. The Absolution is also made a 

 prayer of, or rather an unintelligible mixture 

 of prayer and exhortation. "Where the word 

 circumcision occurs in the Litany, it is trans- 

 lated so as to make the supplication run thus, 

 ' By the cutting of thy forehead.' "
