A novena to St. Aloysius, [18--].

The volume is a bound manuscript, though the volume's boards are missing. The first half of the manuscript is comprised of "A novena to St. Aloysius" and is written in English. The second half of the manuscript is entitled, "Neuvaine: A l'honneur de St. Stanislas Kostka" ("Novena: In honor of St. Stanislas Kostka"), and is written in French. The manuscript appears to be of 19th century origin. Though the identity of the manuscript's author is unknown, his identification as a Jesuit priest seems highly plausible given that both of the saints contemplated were Jesuits themselves.
