O knihe

Excerpt from Travels and Explorations of the Jesuit Missionaries in New France, 1610-1791, Vol. 9: The Original French, Latin, and Italian Texts, With English Translations and Notes; Illustrated by Portraits, Maps, and Facsimiles; Quebec: 1636

Le Jeune hopes much from the hospital for the In dians, which some pious friends at home are propos ing to establish in Canada. He also anticipates good results from the education, in the French manner, Of several little native girls who have been given him for that purpose; these, he expects, will become the wives of Frenchmen or of baptized savages, and thus exert a great in¿uence in civilizing their country men. He also desires to establish at Quebec a semi nary for the youth of both races - the native schools at Notre Dame des Anges being too remote from the settlement, to be available for the children of the colonists.

The writer recounts various minor superstitions current among the natives, also some of their legends concerning the Manitou.
