"Cet ouvrage qui se trouve aussi à la suite du voyage de La Hontan, imprimé à Amsterdam, en 1728, in-12, est une critique très-amère des usages de l'Eglise Romaine."--Biog. Univ.
274. Haies, (Edward)--A Report of the Voyage and successe thereof, attempted in the yeere of Our Lord 1583, by Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Knight, with other gentlemen assisting him in that action, intended to discover and to plant Christian Inhabitants in place convenient, upon those large and ample countreys extended northward from the Cape of Florida, lying under very temperate climes, esteemed fertile and rich in minerals, yet not in the actual possession of any Christian Prince, written by M. Edward Haies, gentleman and principal actour in the same voyage, who alone continued unto the end, and by God's speciall assistance returned home with his retinue safe and entire.--(In Hakluyt's Collections, vol. 3.)
"Ce récit, remarquable par son ton de candeur, inspire un intérêt touchant. L'auteur y a entremêlé des détails nautiques et des notions curieuses sur Terre-Neuve."--Biog. Univ.
*275. Hakluyt, (Richard) Preacher, and an eminent Compiler.--The principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques, and Discoveries of the English Nation, made by sea or over land, to the remote and farthest distant quarters of the earth, at any time within the compasse of these 1600 yeeres; divided into three several volumes, according to the positions of the regions whereunto they were directed. The first volume containeth the worthie discoveries of the English, toward the North and North-east by sea. The second Volume, comprehendeth the principall navigations, &c; made by sea, or over land, to the South and South-east parts of the world, as well within as without the streight of Gibraltar, at any time within the compasse of these 1600 years, &c. The third and last Volume of the Voyages, &c. of the English Nation, and in some few places where they have not been, of strangers, performed within and before the time of these three hundred yeeres, to all parts of the new-found world of America, or the West Indies, from 73 degrees of northerly to 57 of southerly latitude: London, 1599-60. 3 vols. folio.
Reprinted, with two supplementary volumes of scarce voyages: London, 1809-1812, in 5 vols. 4to.
Le troisième volume de cet ouvrage contient un nombre de Documens tellement intéressans pour l'histoire des premiers temps du Canada, que je n'ai pas cru pouvoir me dispenser d'en transcrire ici les sommaires ou titres, textuellement ainsi que je les trouve énumérés au commencement du volume. Je crois qu'on chercherait inutilement ailleurs, (si ce n'est dans Pinkerton qui a emprunté, ce qu'il en dit, d'Hakluyt) la relation du troisième voyage de Jacques Cartier en Canada, en 1540, ainsi que celle du voyage que M. De Roberval y fit, en 1542. Il est certain que Champlain et Lescarbot, les deux plus anciens historiens du Canada, ignoraient leur existence, car ils n'en font aucune mention. La collection de Ramusio ne les possède pas non plus. On doit néanmoins regretter que Hakluyt, ce compilateur infatigable, n'ait pu nous conserver que des fragmens de ces deux relations, car la suite de la narration en est subitement interrompue par ce peu de mots "The rest is wanting" sans donner au lecteur d'autre explication.--Le Rédacteur.
