This Relation also includes the first publication of an account of the capture and mutilation of Father Francesco Bressani by the Iroquois.

Woodcut printer's device on title (toned, a few leaves with discreet marginal repairs, in one case just touching a few words, one leaf with long marginal tear). Contemporary calf gilt with arms of Mathieu Molé, spine gilt in compartments with title and his monogram (rebound neatly preserving gilt calf of the spine panel and boards, new endpapers). Provenance: Mathieu Molé, 1584-1656, French statesman (supralibros) – Library of the Augustinian Fathers of Paris (inscriptions, noting "ad usum s. M.M. Caroli Denis") – two effaced 19th/20th-century French noble bookplates.
