[Footnote 11: Page 6.--Bacqueville de la Potherie's "Histoire de
l'Amérique Septentrionale depuis 1534 jusqu'à 1701" was published first
at Paris in 1722, four volumes, 12mo.; but a later edition appeared in
1753. Charlevoix's opinion, that it is an undigested and ill-written
narrative, is prejudiced, as the work is on the whole a useful and
exact account of the French establishments at Quebec, Montreal and
Three Rivers, and especially of the condition of the Indians of the
time. For bibliographical notes see 'Nar. and Crit. Hist. Am.,' iv.,
299, 357-358.]
