145. [BOUCHER (PIERRE).] Histoire Véritable et Naturelle des Mœurs et Productions du Pays de la Nouvelle France vulgairement dite le Canada. 16mo, original leather. Paris: F. Lambert, 1664

Extremely rare, and a good copy. The back is very slightly damaged, as may be expected from the 250 years it has existed; but it is exceptional to meet with it in anything like so good a condition. The author was one of the earliest settlers in Canada, possibly going out with Champlain, and was Governor of TroisRivières. The object of this book was to interest the Court of France in the new colony, and show their needs; to this end he contrasts the state of the country with the neighboring English colonies, which he states are very successful and prosperous, while the French are neglected and not prospering, although they have the same advantages. He describes the country in much detail, and gives lengthy accounts of the Indian tribes. The Sunderland Library copy, with Quaritch's label.
