An extract from the _Carte de la Nouvelle France et de la Louisiane, nouvellement découverte, dediée au Roy l’an 1683_. _Par le Révérend Père Louis Hennepin, Missionaire Recollect et Notaire Apostolique_, belonging to the _Description de la Louisiane_, 1683. There is a full fac-simile in Shea’s translation of this book, and another one was made in 1876 by Pilinski, in Paris (36 copies). The letter A near a tree signifies “Armes du Roy telle qu’elle sont gravée sur l’escorce d’un chesne.” This map (Harrisse, no. 352) seems to resemble closely a map described by Harrisse (no. 219), as indicating the discoveries of Du Lhut, of which there is a copy in the Barlow Collection.] The following translations may be noted:— * * * * * ENGLISH.—Some portions of Hennepin’s first work had been translated in Shea’s _Discovery of the Mississippi_, pp. 107-145; but no English translation of the whole work appeared till Dr. Shea edited a version in 1880, comparing Hennepin’s text with the second publication of that missionary (issued in 1697) with the La Salle documents, published by Margry, and with other contemporaneous papers. * * * * * DUTCH.—The engraved title, _Ontdekking van Louisania_; the printed title, _Beschryving van Louisania_. It appeared at Amsterdam in 1688, under the same covers with a Dutch version of Denys’ _Coast of North America_, accompanied by a map which is a reduction of the map of the 1683 edition, and is called “Kaart van nieuw Vrankrijk en van Louisania;” together with four plates.
