Father Charlevoix's two-volume, Journal of a Voyage to North America, was published in London, England in 1761, and later in 1763, the book appeared from another London press in somewhat different form, and in a single volume, bearing the title, Letters to the Dutchess of Lesdiguieres. It is not unlikely that copies of the book were sold both with and without the map; and, although those containing it are more rare and valuable, the collector whose copy is without it may console himself with the thought that his book is not, in a strict sense, incomplete or imperfect.
