Voyages du baron de Lahontan dans l'Amérique Septentrionale, qui contiennent une rélation des différens peuples qui y habitent; la nature de leur gouvernement; leur commerce, leurs coétumes, leur religion, & leur manière de faire la guerre : l'intérét des François et des Anglois dans le commerce qu'ils font avec ces nations ; l'avantage que l'Angleterre peut retirer dans ce païs, étant en guerre avec la France, le tout enrichi de cartes & de figures. Tome premier. Seconde edition, revu?, corrigée, & augmentée; ''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.

Toronto Public Library recognizes that the term "Indians," used in subject headings such as "Indians of North America", is offensive to many people. Although we currently maintain these headings to adhere to descriptive standards used by libraries worldwide, we and other Canadian libraries are working to replace them with ones that are acceptable to Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
