Champlain, Samuel de. [Voyages and explorations of Samuel de Champlain] (1604–1616) narrated by himself; tr. by Annie Nettleton Bourne, together with the voyage of 1603, reprinted from Purchas his pilgrimes; ed. with introd. and notes by Edward Gaylord Bourne. 2v. ea. **$1. Barnes.
“These volumes are a welcome addition to the ‘Trail makers’ series. They comprise the first English translation of Champlain’s ‘Voyages and explorations’ that has ever been made accessible to the general public. Thirty years ago translations were made for the Prince society, but they were published in an edition ‘strictly limited and now to be found only in the richer public and private collections of Americana.’ Professor and Mrs. Bourne have therefore rendered a distinct service to students of our early history. An extremely adequate and interesting introduction of twenty-eight pages has been contributed by Professor Bourne.”—Lit. D.
