| Summary: | Pagination: v. 1. [18], 280 pages, [14] leaves of plates (some folded) : 12 illustrations (2 folded), 2 folded maps; v. 2. [2], 3-222, [18] pages, [13] leaves of plates : 12 illustrations, 1 folded map. Signature E⁵ is misprinted E⁶. Headpieces. "Petit Dictionaire de la Langue des sauvages", p. 199-222 of volume 2, is a glossary of the Algonkin and Huron languages. Includes index for both volumes in volume 2. "The two volumes--Voyages and Memoires--were apparently, in early editions sold both separately and in sets. This explains the frequent appearance of individual volumes and of sets not uniform and often with different imprints and dates. As collectors today insist on the set-form, the work is here so treated . Lahontan's narrative, of considerable value when confined to his actual sojourneyings in the Lake region, was unfortunately disfigured by his inserting and account of a pretended trip west of the Mississippi, about as convincing as the legends of the sea-serpent."--Howes.
