3. (p. 55)--Marc Lescarbot (or L'Escarbot), parliamentary advocate, was born at Vervins, France, between 1570 and 1580. He was more given to literature than to law, and appears to have been a man of judgment, tact, and intelligence. He spent the winter of 1606-07 at Port Royal, which Slafter (Prince Soc. ed. of _Voyages of Samuel Champlain_, vol. ii., p. 22, _note_ 56) locates "on the north side of the bay [Annapolis Basin] in the present town of Lower Granville; not, as often alleged, at Annapolis." See Bourinot's "Some Old Forts by the Sea," in _Trans. Royal Society of Canada_, sec. ii, pp. 72-74, for description of Port Royal, which he places on the site of the present Annapolis. In the spring of 1607, Lescarbot explored the coast between the harbor of St. John, N. B., and the River St. Croix. On the abandonment of De Monts' colony, the same year, he returned to France, where he wrote much on Acadia and in praise of Poutrincourt. Larousse gives the date of his death as 1630. Parkman's _Pioneers_, pp. 258 _et seq._, gives a lively account of Lescarbot's winter at the colony. Abbé Faillon, in _Histoire de la Colonie Française en Canada_ (Montreal, 1865), vol. i, p. 91, says he has given us the best accounts extant (in the present document, his _Histoire de la Nouvelle France_, 1609, and his _Les Muses de la Nouvelle France_, 1618) of the enterprises of De Monts and Poutrincourt; and that while a Catholic in name, he was a Huguenot at heart. 4. (p. 57)--_Clameur de Haro, Chartre Normand_, an expression used in all the privileges or licenses granted by the king to booksellers. The latter phrase refers to a deed containing numerous privileges or concessions, accorded to the inhabitants of Normandy by Louis X., Mar. 19, 1313, and repeatedly confirmed afterward. _Haro_ is supposed to be derived from, _Ha Rou!_ or _Ha Rollo!_ Hence an appeal to Rollo, the first Duke of Normandy. 5. (p. 59)--The first attempt of the Huguenots to establish a colony in America was at Rio Janeiro, under Villegagnon (1555). A reinforcement was sent thither in 1557, and among its Calvinist preachers was Jean de Léri, the historian of the disastrous undertaking. See his _Historia Navigationis in Brasiliam_ (1586), quoted in Parkman's _Pioneers_, p. 28. 6. (p. 61)--The St. Lawrence; so named by Cartier (1535), but frequently called "The Great River," "The River of the Great Bay," etc., by early annalists. In the account of his second voyage, Cartier styles it _le grand fleuve de Hochelaga_. See Winsor's _Narrative and Critical History of America_, vol. iv., p. 163; also his _Cartier to Frontenac_, p. 28. 7. (p. 61)--Concerning early European acquaintance with American Indians:
