| Brand new. We distribute directly for the publisher. Hardbound. Cloth. Octavo. pp.109. As New. During the long period in which Great Britain and France struggled for the supremacy of the North American continent, the affairs and friendship of the Indians were ofthe greatest importance. Many of the records of the various treaties with the Indians exist only in manuscipt; some have been printed in the Journals of the Governors and Councils. It is the object of this bibliography to locate and describe such as were separately printed. A brief synopsis of the contents of each treaty is given, and also the location of copies in the principal libraries and private collections. It is quite possible that they were printed in very small editions, which wouldaccount for their rarity even in 1917 when De Puy published his bibliography. They are superlatively rare today. In all 50 treaties are exhaustively described. Full collation is provided, as is a thorough synopsis and locations in the major libraries. Each treaty is illustrated. Though reprinted several times, no edition of De Puy's bibliography is currently in print. Besterman 352. |
