Description:
Chicago: A. C. McClurg & Co. , 1903. Father Louis Hennepin was a Belgian friar, who had actually returned to Europe by the time these works were published. Although Hennepin's works were widely read, they were relatively inaccurate. Still, this work was very influential in shaping impressions of North America in the late 17th century (the work first appeared in English in 1698). The two volume copy offered here is number 78 of 150 large paper copies, uncut and with vellum gilt-lettered spines in grey cloth boards. The spines are a bit soiled, but the bindings are tight, and aside from some foxing (most of text quite clean) this is a nice set. This was "Reprinted from the second London issue of 1698, with facsimiles of original title-pages, maps, and illustrations, and the additiion of Introduction, Notes, and Index". The well-known "A Map of a Large Country Newly Discovered in the Northern America situated between New Mexico and the Frozen Sea" is present, as are all other…
