Ristigouche, P. Q. The Micmac Messenger, 1921. 8vo, pp. 456; yellow buckram boards, red stained edges; near fine. Mi'kmaq ideograms are the oldest known native writing north of Mexico, and were adapted for the use of Catholic missionary work in the 17th century. The first attempt at printing a book of religious instruction in Micmac heiroglyphs was fraught with difficulty, took almost ten years to produce, and a large number of the resulting books were lost at sea. This is the earlier state of the second edition, which does not print the introduction. Item #47869
