An exact translation of the edition published at Wilmington, 1784, with a preface by the translator. No London edition was made until 1793, and it is a matter of some surprise that Paris should have found a market for this work so many years before London. A large uncut copy.

Also two Voyages through the Northern part of New Mexico to the South Sea.) 2 Maps and 40 Plates. 3 vols., 12mo, original calf. Paris, 1758. $25.00

Very fine copy of the original and only complete edition, which is rare in perfect condition with all the plates.

The English translator, with an assurance which is perfectly satire proof, not only abridges the work, but reconstructs and distorts it, and then calls upon us to admire his dexterity in subverting the labor and plan of the author. The work teems with facts and particulars relating to the Natchez and other tribes of Louisiana.

Le Page du Pratz resided in Louisiana fifteen years, and it is from his relation that most of the details of the life of the Natchez and other Mississippi tribes have been derived. Later historians have largely availed themselves of his materials. It is difficult to procure his work complete in all the plates and maps, which should number forty-two.

1607 Louisiana. The History of Louisiana, particularly of the Cession of that Colony to the United States. 8vo, sheep, pp. 456. Phila., 1830. $7.50

As the commissioner appointed by Bonaparte to represent France in the preliminary negotiations with the United States, Barbé-Marbois was well qualified to be the historian of the event; and his book has proved a general source of information about it. The vividness of its style quickens the usual tedium of diplomatic negotiations into a real dramatic interest, which culminates in the cession as a climax rather than as a result.
