On sait que ce livre de Lahontan a eu une grande influence sur la pensée philosophique du XVIIIe. «Il semble certain en tout cas que les «Dialogues» constituent un de ces ouvrages essentiels qui, sans avoir par eux-mêmes une valeur littéraire considérable, permettent de faire le point, de déterminer avec précision la diffusion des idées dites philosophiques à une date déterminée. Ne serait-ce qu'à ce titre Lahontan mérite de retenir l'attention des historiens littéraires et des historiens des idées». En excellent état.

Nouveau tirage , chez les Frères l Honoré , du célèbre ouvrage du Baron de Lahontan , qui à influencé à la fois les cartographes par ses cartes et les penseurs par ses positions contre la colonisation et la mainmise du clergé. Lahontan arrive en Nouvelle-France en 1683 comme capitaine d'un régiment qu'il dirige dans des expéditions contre les Iroquois. Il voyage vers l'ouest en 1687 et reçoit le commandement du fort St. Joseph sur la rivière St. Clair. Il quitta ce poste en 1688, s'aventura plus à l'ouest par le Wisconsin et atteignit le haut Mississippi. Son travail est considéré comme l'une des premières descriptions complètes de la partie occidentale du continent. Lahontan came to New France in 1683 as captain of a regiment which he led in expeditions against the Iroquois. He travelled west in 1687 with Duluth and was given command of Fort St. Joseph on the St. Clair River. He left this post in 1688, venturing further west by the Fox-Wisconsin portage and reached the upper Mississippi. His work is considered one of the first comprehensive descriptions of the western part of the continent.

Couverture rigide. Etat : Assez bon. 2ème Édition. À La Haye, Chez les Frères L'Honoré, 1704. 2 tomes en un volume in-12, plein veau tacheté, dos à nerfs orné avec pièce de titre et tomaison (reliure de l'époque), coiffe tome 1 réparée, 10 ffnch.-280 pp. & 222 pp.-9ff., illustré d'un frontispice et 24 planches ou cartes, certaines repliées, dont la « Carte Général de Canada » et la « Rivière longue », brunissures au début du tome 1 puis en milieu de reliure, déchirure sans manque à une carte. Rare édition de l'une des relations de voyage les plus importante pour l'histoire du Canada. Louis Armand de Lom D'Arce, baron de Lahontan, homme d'armes, ethnographe et philosophe avant la lettre, parti en Amérique du Nord en 1683, il participa à la campagne française contre les Iroquois au lac Ontario en 1684 et fut désigné pour commander le Fort Saint-Joseph (aujourd'hui Niles, dans l'état du Michigan) en 1687. En 1688‒1689, il explora les rives des rivières Fox et Wisconsin ainsi que la région alentour de ce qui est aujourd'hui Green Bay, dans le Wisconsin. Il retourna en France en 1692, mais dut prendre la fuite vers le Portugal l'année suivante en raison d'un différend avec Jacques-François de Monbeton, gouverneur de Placentia (Plaisance) et d'Acadie. En 1703, il publia Nouveaux voyages de M. le baron de Lahontan dans l'Amérique septentrionale, ouvrage en deux volumes considéré comme le meilleur livre sur la Nouvelle France du XVIIe siècle. Le premier volume se présente sous la forme de 25 lettres contenant la description des lieux que Lahontan visita ainsi que les récits de ses voyages. Le second volume est la suite du premier, Mémoires de l'Amérique septentrionale, et décrit en détail la géographie, le commerce et les habitants de l'Amérique du Nord. Il se termine par Petit dictionnaire de la langue des sauvages, qui se compose principalement d'un glossaire de termes algonquins et de leurs équivalents français ainsi que de quelques termes hurons. Il influença l'opinion de penseurs du XVIIIe siècle tels que Voltaire, Montesquieu et Jonathan Swift. Lahontan came to New France in 1683 as captain of a regiment which he led in expeditions against the Iroquois. He traveled west in 1687 with Duluth and was given command of Fort St. Joseph on the St. Clair River. He left this post in 1688, venturing further west by the Fox-Wisconsin portage and reached the upper Mississippi.After his return he published his travelogues in the form of letters from 1703, which were very successful and caused a scandal, because his sympathy was with the savages and his criticism of European civilization and religion. The volume also includes a small dictionary of the "Language of the Wild", which begins on page 199 of the second volume. His work is considered one of the first comprehensive descriptions of the western part of the continent and influed the philosopher of the century.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. "3 volumes in one. 12mo., (6 1/8 x 3 7/8 inches). Title-pages printed in red and black. Four frontispieces, 28 engraved plates and three maps (without the 2 frontispieces in volume II of the first work, a bit browned throughout, one or two marginal tears only affecting the image opposite page 191 in volume II of the first work). Contemporary vellum over thin paste-board, title in manuscript on the spine. Provenance: with the small library label of William Gwinn Mather (1857 - 1951), American Industrialist of Cleveland Ohio, on the front paste-down. First edition, first issue of each volume. Lahontan came to New France in 1683 as captain of a regiment which he led in expeditions against the Iroquois: "Between the fifteenth and sixteenth year of my Age I went to Canada, and there took care to keep up a constant Correspondence by Letters with an old Relation Tis these very letters that make the greatest part of the first Volume. They contain an account of all that pass'd between the English, the French, the Iroquese, and the other Savage Nations, from the year 1683 to 1694" (Lahontan "Preface" to English edition). Lahontan journeyed west in 1687 with Duluth and was given command of Fort St. Joseph on the St. Clair River. In 1688 he travelled further west by the Fox-Wisconsin portage and reached the upper Mississippi. In all Lahontan spent twenty years in the colony fighting the Iroquois and his work is considered "one of the best early works on the subject" (Streeter Sale). During the decade he had spent in North America, Lahontan "had not lacked opportunities to distinguish himself. He had taken part in two campaigns against the Iroquois, had twice been besieged by the English, had visited almost all parts of New France and may well have reached the Mississippi at a time when few Frenchmen had seen it. But he appears to have made little mark; except during his final months at Placentia, the official correspondence of the time scarcely mentions him But while serving and travelling in New France he had done something few of his fellow officers thought to do: "In the course of my Voyages and Travels, I took care to keep particular Journals of every thing . . . ," sometimes even making notes on birch-bark. From these diaries he was able later to compose the three books which were to make him, next to Louis Hennepin, the most widely read author on North America in the first half of the 18th century. "Lahontan's works appeared at a time when travel narratives were enjoying an extraordinary vogue in Europe and when interest in North America, aroused by the 'Jesuit Relations' and whetted by the voyages of Hennepin and Henri Tonty, was greater than ever before. "His 'Nouveaux voyages dans l'Amérique septentrionale' and their sequel, 'Mémoires de septentrionale', were published in January 1703 at The Hague and were twice pirated within a few months. A third volume, entitled 'Supplément aux voyage' [all present here] and containing dialogues possibly written in collaboration in England, appeared later in 1703 in both English and French, the two earlier volumes having meantime been translated into English. "Lahontan's three volumes embraced a wide variety of subject-matter. The 'Nouveaux voyages . . .' recounted in the then popular epistolary form his ten years in New France; midway through the narrative a letter four or five times as long as the rest told a fanciful tale of his imaginary voyage up the Long River. The 'Mémoires' provided a lively geographical account of New France, followed by an anthropological study of its Indian inhabitants and completed by a linguistic commentary and glossary of the Algonkian language. In the third volume the travel narrative was resumed, this time in little-known European states: Portugal, Aragon, Holland, the Hansa cities, and Denmark. The remainder of the book was made up of five imaginary dialogues with an Indian chief whose name, Adario, was a partial anagram of that of the recently deceased".

Paris, A. Margraff, 1931. Publiés par Gilbert Chinard. Grand in-8 broché, 271 p. Avec 7 reproductions de gravures originales. Frontispice sur double page. Bon état.

Two volumes. [18],376; [2],5-336,[2]pp., plus twenty-seven plates (most folding, and including one large folding map, "Carte Que Les Gnacsitares.Carte de la Riviere Longue."). 12mo. Contemporary speckled calf, neatly rebacked, spine gilt, leather labels. Minor edge wear. Bookplate on each pastedown, light occasional foxing, large folding map bound upside down. Very good. Second edition of Lahontan's narrative, a curious blending of fact and fantasy. His account of his travels in the Great Lakes region is one of the most important travel narratives of the day, but his claims to have journeyed west of the Mississippi are highly doubtful. However, his assertions had great impact on geographers of the time, who adopted much of his imaginary geography. The most notable map is the "Carte Que Les Gnacsitares.Carte de la Riviere Longue.," depicting an imaginary river extending westward from Lake Superior. The "Carte Generale de Canada," the frontispiece in the second volume, is also considerably confused geographically. The second volume also contains the "Dictionaire de la Langue des Sauvages." The work remains a classic voyage, even if partially imaginary, written by a man "of more than ordinary learning and intelligence" - Sabin. Regarding this edition Sabin writes: "[t]he alteration is mainly in the 'Dialogues' which are rewritten; the voyages to Portugal and Denmark are omitted, and the whole work is thus brought into two volumes." "Although much of the work has been condemned as over-imaginative, it did influence the subsequent growth of primitivism in France and England, as reflected in the works of Montesquieu, Voltaire, Jonathan Swift, and others. For example, he tells of a tribe which he calls Essanapes, who worshiped the sun, the moon, and the stars. Beyond the Essanapes lived the Gnascitares, who lived on the shore of a great lake, and upon this lake were canoes rowed by 200 oarsmen. They had buildings three storeys high and fought battles with the Spaniards in New Mexico. The great king of this country lived in a royal palace waited upon by hundreds of servants. To add weight to this account Lahontan actually drew a map of the region, now located within the boundaries of Nebraska and South Dakota" - Howgego. HOWES L25, "aa." SABIN 38641, 38642.

Two volumes. [24],279pp. plus frontispiece, two folding maps, and eleven plates (two folding); 220,[17]pp. plus folding map and eleven plates (three folding). 12mo. Later 19th-century half calf and marbled boards, spines gilt. Extremities rubbed. Large folding map reinforced at folds. Some light toning and soiling. About very good. First edition, third issue with the titlepages all in black and the globe vignette, with the maps re-engraved and improved. This is cartographically the best edition.

The "Carte General de Canada" is also considerably confused geographically. The second volume also contains the "Dictionaire de la Langue des Sauvages." The work remains a classic voyage, even if partially imaginary, and is is a major source for the Huron and other tribes on the Great Lakes, written by a man "of more than ordinary learning and intelligence" (Sabin).
