 avis de I'auteur au lecteur 1 1. text pp. 1-222, 

 16°. Scattered through the volume are 6 en- 

 graved plates. 



Copies seen: Brown. 



The only complete set of the three- volume 

 edition I know of is that in the Carter Brown 

 library, Providence, R. I., and this set I have 

 used in the above description, which will not 

 apply in all respects to other copies of the first 

 two volumes of this edition. The Lenox copy 

 for instance — a sound and fine copy in the orig- 

 inal binding— is minus the double-page en- 

 graving preceding the title-page m both vol- 

 umes 1 and 2; and the large folded maps in 

 volumes 1 and 2 of the Brown copy are in vol- 

 umes 2 and 1 respectively of the Lenox copy. 



According to Sabin's Dictionary, no. 38636, 

 this is the original edition of Lahontan's Voy- 

 ages. I have seen two other editions, two vol- 

 umes each, in French, of the same date, as fol- 

 lows :
