First edition of the 36th Jesuit Relation. Here, Le Mercier includes Father Allouez's account of his voyage to Lake Superior, notes on the Pottawattomies and other Western nations, and Thomas Morel's discussion of the Church of Ste. Anne du Petit Cap. This variant does not include the 14pp. letter of the Mother Superior of the Hospital at Québec—an appeal for aid which was printed separately and inserted in some copies. Church 602; Howes J-106 ("b"); McCoy 120.
Octavo (169 x 105mm). Woodcut vase ornament on title (occasional light dustsoiling). Contemporary vellum, title in ink on spine and front cover. Provenance: partially obliterated inscription of "Convent de la Nativité de Jésus" – "Du monastere de la congregation ???" (inscription on flyleaf).
