Mrs. Edgar has kindly furnished me a trans- 

 cript, from the original manuscript, of the two 

 Shawanese vocabularies from which the above 

 list of words is compiled. In transmitting them 

 she writes as follows : 



"I am also sending you a careful copy of the 

 Shawanese vocabulary, with the accents given, 

 which you will see are wanting in the printed 

 copy. There were two books in which I found 

 it. One you had, the other, which has a larger 

 number of words, seems to have been written 

 afterwards, as it is arranged more in order. 

 Many of the words in the second book are du- 

 plicates of the first, though in some cases spelt 

 differently. I send you both versions side by 

 side, and would like much to know which is the 

 more correct form. In the printed copy there 

 are some mistakes, owing to the want of a care- 

 ful and skilled revise. In the original some 

 letters are blurred, and of course that made it 

 difficult for one ignorant of the language to 

 supply the deficiency." 



Romagne {Eev, James B.) [Prayers and 

 catechism in the Abnaki language.] (* ) 



Manuscript, formerly in the possession of 

 Rev. Eugene Vetromile, Biddeford Maine. It 

 is mentioned by him as follows in a letter to 

 Rev. Joseph M. Finotti, dated from Eastport, 

 Jan. 19, 1875 : " The little book referred to [i. e. 

 The Indian prayer book, Boston, 1834] was 

 written, or rather prepared, by F'. Romagne. 

 I have seen only the front-page, and I do not 

 believe that there is a single copy. The book 

 was very incorrect by the fault of the editor, 

 and because F"". Romagn^ did not understand 

 the language to distinguish and separate one 

 word from the other. This was corrected by 

 the holy Missionary F^, Demilier at Pleasant 

 point, who made several additions and a good 

 translation in Passamaquoddy, of the petit ca- 

 techisme pour la Diocesse de Quebec. He pre- 

 pared a neat copy to be printed, but he died be- 

 fore it was sent to the press. This manuscript 

 is in my possession. [See page 110 of this bibli- 

 ography.] 



" Returning lo F^ Romagn^'s book, the orig- 

 inal prayers and cathechism were very correct 

 and in good Indian, but its printer ruined 

 it. . . . ^^ Romagne either copied the 

 prayers etc. from some old manuscript, or put 

 them on paper under the dictation of some 

 Indian. Here was the trouble. . . . 



"I find those prayers and catechism of F'. 

 Romagne, and corrected by ^^ Demilier, in 

 some very old flying paper, and the writer 

 (anonimous) says that he wrote them under 

 the dictation of the Indians, but those in Pas-
