The Lenox copy is marked on front fly leaf, "A very rare book," and it is understood that it cost 1,000 francs, notwithstanding its pen-and-ink title-page. In the "Privilege," on the last page, the syllable "pro" has been accidentally omitted. O'Callaghan's facsimile reprint supplies this omission. In both, the "privilege" is in ten lines, but the contents of the lines differ. Harrisse says (no. 30), concerning Biard's _Relation_ of 1616: "Some bibliographers cite, but without having seen, a relation published at Lyons in 1612, and which was the first edition of the one we have just described; but that is hardly possible, since the events described in that relation extend up to the year 1614. As for the relations, the titles of which are given in Latin, we think that they are the letters addressed by Father Biard [given in Volumes I. and II. of this series]. That of January 31, 1611 [1612], was published in the _Annuæ Litteræ Societatis Jesu_, printed at Lyons by Claude Cayne, but not till 1618. It is probably the same of which Jouvency gives the text in his _Histoire de la Société de Jésus_. Sotwell also cites [_Bibliotheca Script. Soc. Jesu_], a _Relatio Expeditionis Anglorum in Canadam_, of Father Biard, which is probably the letter which Father Biard wrote to Father Claude Aquaviva regarding the act of piracy committed upon him by Argall. It is possible that there were, at that period, publications of these letters both in Latin and French; but we have been able to find only one instance of this." Brunet's _Supplément_ says the alleged 1612 edition of the _Nouvelle France_ is spurious. All of the foregoing letters by Biard, cited by Harrisse, are given in Volumes I. and II. of the present series. See other references in Brown's _Genesis of the United States_ (Boston, 1890), vol. ii., p. 707; Leclerc, no. 2482; Sabin, vol. ii., no. 5136; Ternaux, no. 380; Lenox, p. 4; Winsor, p. 300; Brown, vol. ii., no. 178; and the Barlow (no. 251) and Murphy (no. 244) sale catalogues. Leclerc describes the Lenox copy; most of the others, the O'Callaghan facsimile reprint. _Title-page._ Photographic facsimile, from original in Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris. _Collation of Lenox copy._ Title, 1 p.; blank, reverse of title, 1 p.; dedication "Av Roy," 3 unnumbered pp.; Avant-Propos, 7 unnumbered pp.; text, pp. 1-338.
