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).
