DRAWN UP FROM THE MANUSCRIPTS OF FATHER ZENOBIUS MEMBRE, A RECOLLECT BY FATHER CHRETIEN LECLERCQ. THE Sieur Robert Cavelier de la Salle, a native of Eouen, of one of the most distinguished families there, a rnan of vast intellect, brought up for literary pursuits, * capable and learned in every branch, especially in mathematics, naturally * La Salle, in early life, resolved to consecrate himself to God in a religions order, and entered the Society of Jesus. After passing ten years, however, tea...ch- ing and studying in their colleges, he left them for what reason is not now known and came to Canada to build up his fortunes, for he had lost his inheritance by the unjust provisions of the French law. His previous seclu- sion from the world had, perhaps, but too well fitted him for conceiving vast projects, but totally disqualified him for their successful conduct; the minute details, the cautious choice of men, the constant superintendence required in a large establishment, were foreign to his character, and we shall, in the result, see in this the cause of all his misfortunes.
