18647854Québec: J. N. Duquet & Cie Éditeurs 1864. Bibliothèque du Canadien. Hardcover. pp. 91. 12mo 10.5 x 15 cm. Publisher's original pebbled stamped cloth over boards with title in gilt to the centre; marbled endpapers new ffep. An uncommonly well-preserved copy showing trifle wear to the cloth extremities; rare sporadic foxing to some leaves chiefly to the front matter otherwise overwhelmingly without blemish. Binding firm and sound; a very good copy. A significant work of 19th-century French-Canadian historiography of considerable historical value beyond its intended purpose as a military and personal apology of the primary subject Montcalm. Ostensibly meant as a rehabilitation of the Marquis de Montcalms reputation following the 1757 "Massacre of Fort William Henry" Fort George at the hands of his Indigenous allies the volumes chief importance and value lies in its preservation of a crucial eyewitness account of the massacre from the journal of Father Roubaud see bibliographical note below. A Jesuit priest spy forger and missionary to the Abenaki Abnaquis Roubaud was present during the siege surrender and subsequent violence visited upon the retreating party following the capitulation of English-led forces under the command of Lieutenant Colonel George Monro. An insightful record of the volatile military and social alliance between the French command and the Abenaki Odawa and Potawatomi nations and an important account relating the ensuing massacre and for the study of Indigenous-colonial military relations. Historically miscatalogued in some repositories as an Ontario/Niagara item the text concerns the events at Lake George New York. Provenance: Ex-libris bookplate of the Bibliothèque Collège Bourget to the front pastedown; institutional deaccession stamp to the recto of the ffep. References: Sabin 40006; Field 906. Rare. <br/><br/>¶ Field writes: "The details of this frightful massacre by the Indians under Montcalm are given by an eye-witness and go far to prove him innocent of conniving at it. The principal portion of this defense is a journal of the events of the siege surrender and massacre written by a French missionary. It may be found in the Lettres Edifiante Vol. VI. A translation of this journal was made by Father Kip and printed in Part II of his Early Jesuit Missions in America where it is attributed to Father Roubaud Abnaquis missionary. It is an almost perfect exculpation of Montcalm from the charge of horrible cruelty of which he had been found guilty by historians without trial or examination of the evidence. The slaughter is amply proven by the evidence adduced in this little volume to have been the result of one of those sudden and overwhelming phrensies for blood to which the savages of all Nations are predisposed in battle."

elala1972London: Printed for J.Almon 1777. 8vo. ff. 29. English & French text on opposite pages. lacking French title-page. 19th century quarter roan. ownership entry on title of Thos. Balch 1872 with several ms. notes throughout in his hand. First Edition of this famous forgery. The three letters purporting to be written by Montcalm include two to De Berryer Minister of Marine the first dated Montreal April 4 1757 the second Montreal Oct. 1 1758 and one to de Mole president of the Parlement of Paris dated from a camp near Quebec Aug. 24 1759. They are severely critical of the British administration in America revealing the growing unrest of the colonists and prophesying their imminent revolt. Authorship has been attributed to Pierre Joseph Antoine Roubaud b. 1724 a Jesuit missionary in Canada who entered the English service after the fall of Quebec. Although long regarded with suspicion the letters were not proven to be spurious until the late nineteenth century by Francis Parkman Massachusetts Historical Society Proceedings Vol. II 1869.

177748517London: J. Almon 1777. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. 8vo. Pp. 3 28 28 1. Half-title in English English and French title-pages text in French and English throughout. Some leaves are larger and folded at the margins many with notes in a contemporary hand. Crescent shaped stain to the half-title faint on the English title-page. Some faint marginal staining to a few pages. A few little holes noticeable in the gutter margins at pages 13 with some puncture holes from the original sewing also visible throughout. Bound in brown library cloth with gilt stamped title on the spine. These rare and celebrated letters have been the subject of continual controversy since their publication. The three letters purport to be written by Montcalm between 1757 and 1759 the last within a month of his death. They contain observations about events in the colonies and they predict and American revolt. The letters were hotly debated in the British Parliament when they appeared and their authenticity disputed. The weight of the evidence indicates that the letters are propaganda written at the start of the Revolutionary War to encourage French involvement. Subsequently in 1778 the pivotal alliance between France and the United States was formed. This copy contains extensive and informed criticisms in a contemporary hand by a member of a 'ministry' and a Tory native to America. He points out that the author of the letters was familiar with the Stamp Act and the Quebec Bill events after Montcalm's death. The critic comments on his own extensive knowledge of New York and New Jersey and the 'Present Disturbances'. The work itself later was considered to be proven spurious by F. Parkman's paper of 1869 in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Sabin 50091. Howes M734. Gagnin 2418. TPL 289.
