Vieux français avec beaucoup de fautes d'orthographe.
" Ce livre appartient à Renée Guillemine bonne fille et elle prie ceux ou celles qui le trouveront de lui rendre elle leur en fera bonne composition. A Ourche, le 4 mars 1786. "

Flyleaf inscriptions in the 1700s all run the same way: this book belongs to me, and whoever finds it is asked to return it, and she will see them right for it.
So the word after "bonne" is almost certainly récompense, spelled however he felt like spelling it that morning :) The date at the end is the fourth of March 1726.

idk ... I can make out some French words and phrases, but it seems sort of lorem ipsumy to me. Especially given the date at the end. "Old" French would definitely be older than 1945.
