Catechisme Historique.-Historical Cate

Verso of this simple title-page: Petit Catechisme Historique, contenant en abrégé l'Histoire Sainte, et la Doctrine Chrétienne. Par M. Fleury, Prêtre, Prieur d'Argenteuil. Nouvelle edition. Detroit: Imprimé par Theophile Mettez. 1812. pp. 201. 12m0; 4 pp. unnumb. Index.

The work is both in French and English. Evidently opposite to the above title was another in English; but the copy kindly lent me by Father Hecker (this rare book belongs to the Library of the Congregation of St. Paul, N. Y.) is torn from p. 3 to 10 inclusive.—v. infra, Richard. Bound with the Catechism we find Les Ornemens de la Mémoire; ou, Les Traits Brillans des Poetes François le plus Célèbres. Avec des Dissertations sur chaque Genre de Style. Pour Perfectionner l'Education de la Jeunesse. Au Detroit. Imprimé par A. Coxshaw. 1811. pp. i. ii., Introduction; 3-132. 12mo. Wretched paper and ink; types seem worn. The two last pages, unnumbered, contain, in French and English, "Proposals for printing, in French and English, The Epistles and Gospels, for all Sundays and holy days throughout the year." See Appendix for collation of this from a copy in the possession of Mr. Shea.
