2. The next reprint appears in Danjou's _Archives Curieuses_, 2nd
series, tome iii. (Paris, 1838), pp. (405-426). This follows the text
of the original, and not that of the _Mercure_. The following clause in
the Lenox Catalogue, p. 19,--the final sentence of note under "7(b)" in
list of O'Callaghan's Reprints,--is misleading: "The copy in the Astor
Library of that work is printed from the original letter of 1627." The
"copy in the Astor" is simply this reprint in _Archives Curieuses_, of
which rare collection the Astor has a set.
3. The third reprint, but the first in separate form, was issued by
O'Callaghan at Albany, 1870, and is the one designated in the Lenox
Catalogue (p. 19) as "7(b)." The text of the _Mercure_ reprint is
followed, with a made-up title-page, as follows:
Relation | de ce qvi s'est passé | en la | Novvelle France | en l'annee
M.DC.XXVI. | Enuoyée au Père Hierosme L'Allemant | par le P. Charles
L'Allemant Superievr de | la Mission de la Compagnie de Iesvs | en |
Canada. | D'après la Copie dans le Mercure François | Tome 13. | A
Paris | Chez Estienne Richer ruë S. Iean de Latran | M.DC.XXIX.
_Collation of same._ Title, 1 p.; reverse of title, with inscription:
"Edition tirée a vingt-cinq exemplaires, O'C.," 1 p.; Tables des
Matieres, 2 pp.; text, pp. 1-51; Table, pp. 53-59.
4. A second separate reprint was issued by O'Callaghan in 1871, and is
that referred to in the Lenox Catalogue (p. 19) as "7(a)." This follows
the original text, and not that of the _Mercure_; it is set in small
type in imitation of the original (Paris, 1627), and comes into the
same number of pages. Upon the otherwise blank page facing the last
page of the text, is the inscription: "Calqué sur l'exemplaire dans
la collection | de Mr. James Lenox, de New York." The title-page is
apparently photo-lithographed from the original.
