Lahontan (A. L. de D.)—Continued. A la Haye, Chez les Fréres l'Honoré, Marchands Libraires. | M. DCC. III ]1703]. Title in black verso blank 1 1. preface 6 11. avis de l'auteur au lecteur 1 1. text pp. 1-222, 16°. Scattered through the volume are 6 engraved plates. Copies seen: Brown. The only complete set of the three-volume edition I know of is that in the Carter Brown library, Providence, R. I., and this set I have used in the above description, which will not apply in all respects to other copies of the first two volumes of this edition. The Lenox copy for instance-a sound and fine copy in the orig. inal binding-is minus the double-page engraving preceding the title-page in both volumes 1 and 2; and the large folded maps in volumes 1 and 2 of the Brown copy are in vol. umes 2 and 1 respectively of the Lenox copy. According to Sabin's Dictionary, no. 38636, this is the original edition of Lahontan's Voyages. I have seen two other editions, two volumes each, in French, of the same date, as follows: - Nouveaux | voyages | de | Mr le baron de Lahontan, | dans | l'Amerique | septentrionale, | Qui contiennent une Relation des differens | Peuples qui y habitent; la nature de leur | Gouvernement; leur Commerce, leurs Coû- | tumes, leur Religion, & leur maniére de faire la Guerre.

Petit dictionnaire de la langue des sauvages [Algonkin], etc. pp. 195-217.-Quelques mots Hurons, pp. 219–220. Copies seen: Congress, Lenox. Priced by Leclerc, 1878, no. 737, 40 fr. and by Quaritch, no. 12162, old calf, gilt, 17. 58. Assuming, as Sabin says, that the 3-vol. edi. tion of 1703 is the original, vol. 1 of each of the two 2-vol. editions agrees with it page for page and nearly line for line in the matter following the preface, i. e., from the beginning of the text, p. 1. In vol. 2 the editions run alike page for page throughout the text; the tables at the end agree in the two 2-vol. editions, both of which differ from the second volume of the 3-vol. edition. The type of the two 2-vol. editions is very nearly the same, but differs materially from that used in the same (second) volume of the 3-vol. edition. The head and tail pieces and the initial letters differ materially in all three edi· tions, as do also the engraved plates and maps; and there are minor discrepancies throughout the text of all the editions. It will be noticed that the position of the fig. ure in the preliminary plate in vol 1 of each of the two 2-vol. editions is reversed from that in vol. 1 of the 3-vol. edition belonging to the Carter Brown library, and that it does not appear at all in the second volume of either of the 2-vol. editions or in the third volume of the 3-vol. edition. Altogether, the make-up of the 2-vol. editions is inferior, especially in the engraved plates, to that of the 3-vol. edition. I am indebted to the owners of these editions for kindly sending them to me for inspection, so that I have been fortunate in having them all under the eye at the same time. I took ad vantage of the opportunity to make a photographic copy of each of the title-pagos, as well as of those of some other editions, and have thus been enabled to read the proof of these titles from fac-similes. It has not been thought necessary to call special attention, by the use of brackets, to all the minor errors and differ ences in spelling and punctuation. Lahontan (A. L. de D.) - Continued.
