A word-for-word collation of these two examples of H. 55 convinces us that the original issue of the press is the one at Brown, making this, so far as we are aware, a unique copy. As the working of the edition progressed, some occasion arose for changing the phraseology of the text upon pp. 225, 226 (i.e., 125, 126, correct pagination) in signature H, these two pages being in part reset. The following sentences, which appear on p. 225 (i.e., 125) of the Brown copy, were expunged from the sheet, and do not appear in the Harvard and other examples of this _Relation_: pour toute sa Prouince, & pour tous ceux qui cooperent au salut de tant de pauures ames esgarées: Vne petite gouttelette de ce diuin calice nous enrichira tous: & puis que mes prieres sont trop foibles pour obtenir vn si grand bien, ie supplie V. R. d'interposer les siennes, & celles encore de tant d'ames sainctes qui sont dessous sa charge: Mais passons outre. There was also expunged from pp. 225, 226 (i.e., 125, 126) the following paragraph, which appears only in the Brown copy: Ie remerciay le mieux qu'il me fut possible Mõsieur de Champlain de la charité qu'il auoit exercée enuers nos Peres qui a esté tres-grande, cõme me témoignoit le Pere Brebeuf. To occupy the space, the following fifteen lines were substituted on pp. 225, 226 (i.e., 125, 126), and these appear in the Harvard and later issues of the document, but not in the Brown copy: Il me vient quelquefois en pensée, que ce Grand Homme, qui par son admirable sagesse, & non-pareille conduite ez affaires s'est tant acquis de renommée sur la terre, se prepare vne couronne de gloire tres- esclatante dans le Ciel, pour le soing qu'il tesmoigne auoir en la conuersion de tant d'ames que l'infidelité perd en ces pays sauuages: I'en prie tous les iours affectueusement pour luy, & nostre compagnie ayant par son moyen occasion de glorifier Dieu en cette si noble entreprise, luy en aura vne obligation eternelle. While form H was off the press, and the above alteration of text taking place, certain types appear to have dropped out or been moved in other pages of the same form, making a half-dozen verbal errors on pp. 115, 119. The form, with the text thus altered, was again sent to press, and apparently Harvard H. 55 is the result. Another peculiarity in the Harvard copy is,--and this is noted by Harrisse,--that the letter P in the word "Par," on the title-page, has been partially dropped: the Brown copy is perfect, in this respect.
