Joutel appears to have spent the rest of his life at Rouen, where Charlevoix says he saw him in 1723; and speaks of him as a very upright man, and evidently the only trustworthy member of La Salle’s party. Of Joutel’s _Journal_ he also speaks in the same strain.[26] [Illustration: Original Title Page in facsimile +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ |+------------------------------------------------------------------+| || A || || JOURNAL || || Of the LAST || || VOYAGE || || Perform’d by || || Monſr. de la Sale, || || TO THE || || GULPH of MEXICO, || || To find out the || || Mouth of the _Miſſiſipi_ River; || || || || CONTAINING, || || An Account of the Settlements he endeavour’d to make on the || || Coaſt of the aforeſaid _Bay_, his unfortunate Death, and the || || Travels of his Companions for the Space of Eight Hundred || || Leagues acroſs that Inland Country of _America_. now call’d || || _Louiſiana_, (and given by the King of _France_ to M. || || _Crozat_,) till they came into _Canada_. || || ---------------------------------------------------------------- || || _Written in_ French _by Monſieur_ Joutel, || || _A Commander in that Expedition_; || || _And Tranſlated from the Edition juſt publiſh’d at_ Paris. || || ---------------------------------------------------------------- || || With an exact Map of that vaſt Country, and a Copy of the || || _Letters Patents_ granted by the K. of _France_ to M. _Crozat_. || || ---------------------------------------------------------------- || || _LONDON_, Printed for _A.
