It is a rare book; the two copies above cited are the only ones known to us, in America. Leclerc, in _Bibliotheca Americana_ (Paris, 1867), p. 206, says: "Cette pièce est plus rare que l'Histoire de la Nouvelle France," referring to Lescarbot's better-known work. Sabin speaks of it (vol. x., no. 40167), as "probably the rarest of Lescarbot's works." See further references in the John Carter Brown Catalogue (Bartlett's _Bibliotheca Americana_, Providence, 1882), vol. ii., no. 99: Graesse's _Trésor de Livres Rares et Précieux_ (Dresden, 1863), vol. iv., p. 175; Harrisse's _Notes sur la Nouvelle France_ (Paris, 1872), no. 21; Ternaux's _Bibliothèque Américaine_ (Paris, 1837), no. 330; Winsor's _Narrative and Critical History of America_, vol. iv., p. 299; and Lenox _Catalogue of Jesuit Relations_ (N. Y., 1879), p. 3.[XVII.] _Title-page._ This is given in photographic facsimile, in this reissue. The Lenox and Brown copies are alike, in this. It will be noticed that there is no date of publication, this being established from the Privilege. _Collation._ Title, 1 p.; blank at back of title, 1 p.; dedication "A LA ROYNE," 3 pp., signed "MARC LESCARBOT;" privilege, 1 p., dated "Paris, 9 Sep., 1610," and signed "Brigard;" text, pp. 7-44. Page 7 is misnumbered 1. (The Brown Catalogue says: Page 1 is misnumbered 7." This is a misprint in the Catalogue.) "FIN," at end of p. 24; then pp. 23 and 24 are reprinted, all except the last sentence on p. 24: "Dieu vueille par sa | grace conduire le tout en sorte que la chose | reüssisse à sa gloire & à l'édification de ce peu-| ple, pour lequel tous Chrétiens doivent faire | continuelles prieres à sa divine bonté, à ce qu'il | lui plaise confirmer & avancer l'oeuvre qu'il | lui a pleu susciter en ce temps pour l'exaltation | de son nom, & le salut de ses creatures. | FIN." It is evident that the intention was to have the first leaf (pp. 23, 24) cut out. This duplication of pp. 23, 24 is in both the Brown and Lenox copies. The "Extrait du Regitre de Bapteme" in the Brown copy (it is not in the Lenox Copy) forms 2 pages at the end of text. The first page of this "Regitre" is not numbered; the second is numbered "-4-6" (intended for 46), and this ends the book. The same "Regitre" appears in somewhat different order in Lescarbot's _Nouvelle France_, (1612 ed.), pp. 638-640, chap. 5, book v.; also, according to Harrisse's _Notes_, in chap. 3, book v., of the 1611 ed.
