Second edition of the 32nd Relation. This entry opens with a description of mysterious portents: strange aerial phenomena including meteors, an earthquake, and a solar eclipse. Lalemant comments that these dramatic events aided in their work of converting Native people and strengthened the faith of those already baptized. He also describes the death of Father René Ménard, and the victories of the Algonquins over the Iroquois. Bell 61; Church 587; Howes J-106 ("c" = quite rare); McCoy 112; Sabin 38688.
Octavo (168 x 106mm). Half title. Woodcut device on title (dampstain to lower half, some browning). Contemporary paneled calf (joints loose, chipped at caps). Provenance: remains of old library label at foot of spine.
