| Bookseller's comments | Fac-similé du livre de prières du père Marquette, rédigé dans la langue des Illinois. Numéroté et limité à 300 exemplaires. Une note manuscrite trouvée par le neveu de Neilson raconte l'histoire menant à la publication de ce manuscrit: «This pewter plate and spoon and the Prayer Book in the language of the Illinois are relics of Père Marquette, the missionnary. They were for many years kept at the Mackinack Mission, then brought to the Quebec College. Père Cazot, the last Jesuit, gave them to my father, thirty years ago, for having sent him the ''Gazette'' so long.» (introduction) |
