Mars. | In-4, cart. 500 fr. 11 pp. Pièce d'une grande valeur pour l'histoire de notre établissement au Canada. Exemplaire de toute beauté avec toutes ses marges. Ce document peut être mis au nombre des raretés de premier ordre parmi celles relatives au Canada. Ce fut en partie aux raisons données par Champlain que nous avons dû de conserver le Canada, car cet établissement n'était pas en grande faveur auprès de beaucoup de personnes.
