First edition of the final Jesuit Relation. The Jesuit reports from New France for 1674-1679 were prepared but not printed until the 19th century. This final report in the series printed by the Cramoisy family describes the arrival of the new governor, continued missions to the Algonquin, Huron, and Iroquois; and the departure of Jolliet and Marquette for the Mississippi region. This copy is incomplete, lacking its final section and the map issued with it. Church 622; Howes J-106; McCoy 130.
Octavo (179 x 114mm). Lacking text of part 3 including the folding map. Woodcut Jesuit device on title (waterstain). 18th-century gilt-ruled vellum, marbled edges (resewn with endpapers renewed). Provenance: effaced description on title dated 1720 – Séminaire de Montréal (inscriptions on flyleaf and title, perforated stamps and other small library stamps).
