About This Item

Limoges: Barbou Freres, [ca. 1854].. 191pp. Tinted lithographic frontis. Half title. Contemporary elaborate embossed filigree over textured cloth, spine richly gilt, recased with new endpapers. Cloth rubbed and edgeworn, spine label a bit chipped. Foxing throughout. Good plus. The only edition of this scarce Native American missionary narrative which, according to Howes, is based on an anonymous 18th-century account of a missionary who worked around the Great Lakes. The first chapter describes the Native American tribes and languages of Canada. Earlier bibliographies record the imprint date as either 1855 or 1856, but the Siebert copy, with a school label dated April 8, 1854, provides concrete evidence of earlier publication. Not in Field. HOWES S522, "aa." GAGNON 3326. SIEBERT SALE 29.
