The very rare first edition. Benzoni was the first regular European Traveller in the New World who published his travels. His journeys occupied fourteen years, 1541 to 1555. The Aborigines always seemed first to attract his attention, and he has accordingly afforded us some of the rarest pictures of their condition and habits at that early day, of which the rude wood cuts printed in the text are quaint but spirited illustrations."- Field.

26 Charlevoix, P. F. X. de. History of New France, translated from the original edition, with notes by Dr. James Gilmary Shea. A new edition

with Life of the translator and a bibliography of his Writings, by Noah Farnham Morrison. Maps and portraits. 6 vols., royal 8vo, cloth, uncut. N. Y., 1901. $18.00

This important work, of which a very limited number was published by the

author thirty years ago, is now very rare. A fire having destroyed a large portion of certain of the volumes, only about 150 complete sets were ever sold.

The importance of Dr. Shea's translation of Rev. P. F. X. De Charlevoix's History and General Description of New France, as an original authority and standard reference work, cannot be overestimated. The New France of that date (1740) was far more than what we now know as Canada. It embraced the best part of the North American Continent. Thus Charlevoix, besides giving a full history of Canada down to 1740, relates in detail the early annals of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Michigan, Illinois and Northwestern States, and Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. This new edition contains over 40 illustrations, including all the maps, portraits, etc. Limited to 750 numbered sets.
