Five of six volumes. Red cloth, gilt titles. Illustrated with maps, plans, and engravings. Shea's 1866-1872 translation (Sabin 12137), from De Charlevoix's 1744 work (Sabin 12135), which originally appeared in three volumes. De Charlevoix, a French Jesuit priest, is considered the first historian of New France, and this work is an important primary source for Canadian and colonial American history. This edition includes a biographical introduction by John Francis Bannon, as well as footnotes and marginal gloss throughout text.
