À La Haye, Chez les Frères L'Honoré, 1703. 2 tomes en un volume in-12, veau, dos à nerfs orné avec pièce de titre (reliure de l'époque) défauts d usage. Rare édition de l'une des relations de voyage les plus importante pour l'histoire du Canada. - + 279 pp. & -- 220 + 8ff . Un frontispice et 24 planches ou cartes, certaines repliées , dont la "Carte de Canada" (traces de réparation) .Ex-libris manuscrit sur le titre Louis Armand de Lom D Arce, baron de Lahontan ,homme d armes, ethnographe et philosophe avant la lettre ,parti en Amérique du Nord en 1683 , il participa à la campagne française contre les Iroquois au lac Ontario en 1684 et fut désigné pour commander le Fort Saint-Joseph (aujourd'hui Niles, dans l état du Michigan) en 1687. En 1688‒1689, il explora les rives des rivières Fox et Wisconsin ainsi que la région alentour de ce qui est aujourd'hui Green Bay, dans le Wisconsin. Il retourna en France en 1692, mais dut prendre la fuite vers le Portugal l'année suivante en raison d'un différend avec Jacques-François de Monbeton, gouverneur de Placentia (Plaisance) et d'Acadie. En 1703, il publia Nouveaux voyages de M. le baron de Lahontan dans l'Amérique septentrionale, ouvrage en deux volumes considéré comme le meilleur livre sur la Nouvelle France du XVIIe siècle. Le premier volume se présente sous la forme de 25 lettres contenant la description des lieux que Lahontan visita ainsi que les récits de ses voyages. Le second volume est la suite du premier, Mémoires de l Amérique septentrionale, et décrit en détail la géographie, le commerce et les habitants de l'Amérique du Nord. Il se termine par Petit dictionnaire de la langue des sauvages, qui se compose principalement d'un glossaire de termes algonquins et de leurs équivalents français ainsi que de quelques termes hurons. Il influença l'opinion de penseurs du XVIIIe siècle tels que Voltaire, Montesquieu et Jonathan Swift . Lahontan came to New France in 1683 as captain of a regiment which he led in expeditions against the Iroquois. He traveled west in 1687 with Duluth and was given command of Fort St. Joseph on the St. Clair River. He left this post in 1688, venturing further west by the Fox-Wisconsin portage and reached the upper Mississippi.After his return he published his travelogues in the form of letters from 1703, which were very successful and caused a scandal, because his sympathy was with the savages and his criticism of European civilization and religion. The volume also includes a small dictionary of the "Language of the Wild", which begins on page 199 of the second volume. His work is considered one of the first comprehensive descriptions of the western part of the continent and influed the philosopher of the century .P1-3N.

Condition: Good. 12mo. 95 x 165mm. Contemporary calf with gilt spines. 25 etched plates and 3 maps including the Carte Générale de Canada (short tear on this folding map, which measures 29 x 34 cm,.) and the view of Québec. A few plates loose. Louis Armand, Baron de Lahontan served ten years in the French military inCanada, was involved in the Indian Wars, and commanded several posts in thewest. He traveled extensively in the Wisconsin and Minnesota region and theupper Mississippi Valley. Upon his return to Europe he wrote this enormouslypopular travelogue. In it he embellished his knowledge of the geography of theGreat Lakes region, invented Indian tribes, and created several fictions,particularly the River Longue , which he claimed extended from the MississippiRiver to the Rocky Mountains. Over twenty editions of his book were publishedbetween 1703 and 1741, including editions in French, English, Dutch and German.The immense popularity of the book resulted in his distorted cartography being accepted by several eminent cartographers who incorporated the "Lahontan" concepts into most 18th century maps.Volume 1 is the 1704 French edition containing three folding maps and 11 singlepage plates of illustrations. Carte Generale du Canada en Petit Point (3.5 x 5.5")shows the Great Lakes, Boston, Manhattan (Manat) and the Saint Lawrence. Itlocates the lands of the Iroquois, Fort Niagara, Fort de S. Joseph, Sault Ste. Marie,Montreal and Quebec. Profil de la Ville de Quebec (8 x 3.6") is a bird's-eye view ofQuebec with an extensive key below locating important buildings. The river isfilled with French ships and the fleet of the British slightly down river. The thirdmap is one of the most influential, and fanciful maps in American cartographichistory, entitled Carte que les Gnacsitares ont Dessine sur?/ Carte de la RiviereLongue et de Quelques Autres? (11.5 x 5"). It purports to show the RiviereLongue flowing from the mountains in the west, home to the GnacsitaresIndians, and connecting to the Mississippi River. On the western side of themountains is another river, presumably flowing into the Pacific. Lahontan'sconcept was copied by virtually all 18th century cartographers including Moll,Senex, Popple, and Delisle, thus perpetuating the myth. The map also includes balloon-shaped Lakes Superior and Michigan. Wright Howes, Final edition, no.

Lahontan came to New France in 1683 as captain of a regiment, which he led in expeditions against the Iroquois. In 1687 he went West with Duluth and was placed in command of Fort St. Joseph on the St. Clair River. He left this post in 1688 and, travelling westward by the Fox-Wisconsin portage, reached the upper Mississippi. In this work, he claims to have navigated the River Long which, he says, flows into the Mississippi from the west, and to have wintered there; he also gives elaborate descriptions of the natives whom he met there and of the physical features of the terrain through which he passed. This portion of the work is now considered fictitious; the rest of the work, however, is generally accurate, and is one of the first comprehensive descriptions we have of the western part of the continent. From the library of the "Bibliothéque Chateau des Ormes". While the collation of the "globe" issues are precisely the same as that of the "ornament" issue, the title-pages ."are printed entirely in black ink, and the plates are superior to those in the "ornament" issue. The "globe issue has corrections in the place-nomenclature on the maps, and some additions of places on these maps have also been noticed." - (Paltsits).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. "3 volumes in one. 12mo., (6 1/8 x 3 7/8 inches). Title-pages printed in red and black. Four frontispieces, 28 engraved plates and three maps (without the 2 frontispieces in volume II of the first work, a bit browned throughout, one or two marginal tears only affecting the image opposite page 191 in volume II of the first work). Contemporary vellum over thin paste-board, title in manuscript on the spine. Provenance: with the small library label of William Gwinn Mather (1857 - 1951), American Industrialist of Cleveland Ohio, on the front paste-down. First edition, first issue of each volume. Lahontan came to New France in 1683 as captain of a regiment which he led in expeditions against the Iroquois: "Between the fifteenth and sixteenth year of my Age I went to Canada, and there took care to keep up a constant Correspondence by Letters with an old Relation Tis these very letters that make the greatest part of the first Volume. They contain an account of all that pass'd between the English, the French, the Iroquese, and the other Savage Nations, from the year 1683 to 1694" (Lahontan "Preface" to English edition). Lahontan journeyed west in 1687 with Duluth and was given command of Fort St. Joseph on the St. Clair River. In 1688 he travelled further west by the Fox-Wisconsin portage and reached the upper Mississippi. In all Lahontan spent twenty years in the colony fighting the Iroquois and his work is considered "one of the best early works on the subject" (Streeter Sale). During the decade he had spent in North America, Lahontan "had not lacked opportunities to distinguish himself. He had taken part in two campaigns against the Iroquois, had twice been besieged by the English, had visited almost all parts of New France and may well have reached the Mississippi at a time when few Frenchmen had seen it. But he appears to have made little mark; except during his final months at Placentia, the official correspondence of the time scarcely mentions him But while serving and travelling in New France he had done something few of his fellow officers thought to do: "In the course of my Voyages and Travels, I took care to keep particular Journals of every thing . . . ," sometimes even making notes on birch-bark. From these diaries he was able later to compose the three books which were to make him, next to Louis Hennepin, the most widely read author on North America in the first half of the 18th century. "Lahontan's works appeared at a time when travel narratives were enjoying an extraordinary vogue in Europe and when interest in North America, aroused by the 'Jesuit Relations' and whetted by the voyages of Hennepin and Henri Tonty, was greater than ever before. "His 'Nouveaux voyages dans l'Amérique septentrionale' and their sequel, 'Mémoires de septentrionale', were published in January 1703 at The Hague and were twice pirated within a few months. A third volume, entitled 'Supplément aux voyage' [all present here] and containing dialogues possibly written in collaboration in England, appeared later in 1703 in both English and French, the two earlier volumes having meantime been translated into English. "Lahontan's three volumes embraced a wide variety of subject-matter. The 'Nouveaux voyages . . .' recounted in the then popular epistolary form his ten years in New France; midway through the narrative a letter four or five times as long as the rest told a fanciful tale of his imaginary voyage up the Long River. The 'Mémoires' provided a lively geographical account of New France, followed by an anthropological study of its Indian inhabitants and completed by a linguistic commentary and glossary of the Algonkian language. In the third volume the travel narrative was resumed, this time in little-known European states: Portugal, Aragon, Holland, the Hansa cities, and Denmark. The remainder of the book was made up of five imaginary dialogues with an Indian chief whose name, Adario, was a partial anagram of that of the recently deceased".
