Item description from seller

Original full brown calf on boards. Gilt title and five raised bands on spine. Dentilled edges with gilt decoration. Hinges strong. Leather cracking at spine edges. Wear to leather at top of spine (threads visible), and minor rubbing at top corners. Text is large and easy to read, if you can get past the old practice of replacing "s" with an "f"-like character! Thomas Pichon was the Secretary to the Comte de Raymond, Governor of Cape Breton. Written from Louisburg from 1750 on, Pichon's letters describe the geography, manners and customs of the Natives (who he was very sympathetic to, compared to some of his contemporaries), trade with New Zealand, the cod fishery, etc. This is one of the earliest local histories we've ever had to chance to see! Its author took pains to really be "an impartial Frenchman" as he refers to himself on the title page! This scarce book is on consignment, so no discounts apply. It will be sent fully insured, so expect a request for "extra shipping" to cover that. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.…

Description de la boutique

We specialize in old hardcovers, and also have an extensive selection of local/Maritimes history. On December 31, 2023, we were forced to close our 23-year-old bricks and mortar bookstore due to a change in the building's ownership. We now operate online from our home (order pickup by appointment only).
