Cartoyraphy. 



1 have had the Franquelin-de Meulles map opposite page 364 

 compared with original in Paris, with the result tliat I find the Ottawa 

 copy has been xery carelessly made, a large number of the names being 

 omitted altogether, and a great many others mispelled. Thesis errors 

 are as follows; since the incorrectly-spelled words can readily be 

 recognized, I give here gimply the correct spellings, while wonds omitted 

 are in brackets.

Unfortunately the copyist's erroijs I have found w^hen I have had 

 Ottawa copies of important documents compared with the originals in 

 Pari^ and London are not confined to these two maps, but extend to 

 documents as well, at least one of which was as full of inexcusable 

 errors as the Franquelin De Meulles map. This^ experience gives me 

 a great hesitation in accepting the testimony of copies at crucial points; 

 and it also conveys the lesson that a more careful supervision should be 

 exercised over the copyists engaged to copy documents from the archivée 

 in Europe. 



365. The de Eozier map is of such great interest that it is repro- 

 duced herewith (Map No 1). It isi among the Parkman papers in tlie 

 Library of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and I am indebted to 

 Dr. S. A. Green, the Librarian of the Society, for the copy and for 

 permission 'to publi?/h it. It doesi not include the whole map, but the 

 parts of interest to New Brunswick. While containing some curious 

 eirrorsi, it is at the same time wonderfully accurate in the St. Croix- 

 Magaguadavic-Oromocto region, far more accurate indeed than any 

 other map for nearly a century thereafter. The map produced no effect 

 upon' any other later\ maps that I have been able to trace, and it selems 

 itself to have been made quite independently of any others. Apparently 

 it was made entirely from the personal observation of its author. Pre- 

 sumably the circles indicate Indian camping grounds.
