Catechism, 17th century, on the contents of 'Regiam majestatem'., 17th century-1705.
Catechism, including prayers, doctrinal instructions, the order of the administration of the Sacraments, etc., in French and Micmac, by Antoine Simon (Petrus) Maillard, the Apostle of the Micmacs., 1759.
At the beginning is a poem in French on the doctrines of the Church. The work is dedicated 'Germano compari nostro Joanni Manach', and bears the date 1759 at various points. Although Antoine Maillard's name appears as that of the author, it is not certain that this manuscript is in his hand.
'Chaṇḍī pāt sat saī', or ‘The catechism of the reading (or worship) of Chaṇḍī’.
According to a note, 1899, of the Reverend John Cameron, Chaplain, 93rd Highlanders, enclosed in the manuscript, it consists of a paraphrase and interpretation, composed by the ṛishis in recent times, of a few verses of the Ṛigveda, which are in this way adapted for the comparatively modern worship of the goddess Chaṇḍī (Devī); the pundit who gave him the manuscript said that it was about 200 years old, and had been in his family for that time.
