VV.AA.
Cartas edificantes y curiosas escritas de las Missiones Estrangeras y de Levante por algunos missioneros de la Compañía de Jesús. Traducidas del idioma francés por el Padre Diego Davin. Tomo Décimo.
Madrid, Imprenta de la Viuda de Manuel Fernandez, 1755. 4to.; 2 hs., XVI pp., 398 pp. y un mapa plegado, grabado en cobre, que muestra las misiones jesuitas en la India. Encuadernación en pergamino, de la época. Parte destacada del presente volúmen esta formada por las "Cartas" del Padre Sebastian Rasle (1658-1724) en las Misiones del Canadá, entre los Indios Abenakis, en Norridgewock, en el Rio Kennebec, en tiempo de las luchas contra los ingleses de New England, a manos de los cuales murió finalmente tras haber sido puesta a precio su cabeza. Su prestigio y fama entre los Abenakis fue imperecedero, su conocimiento de su lengua y costumbres impresionante, como lo prueba el manuscrito de su "Diccionario de la Lengua Abenaki", milagrosamente conservado hasta hoy en la Biblioteca del Harvard College y publicado en 1835. Otra interesante relación es la que contiene el viaje y estancia en el Tibet entre 1716 y 1721 del Padre Ippolito Desideri. No menor es el interés del Informe de la Visita de Fray José Peralta, Obispo de Buenos Aires, a las Misiones jesuítas del Paraguay en 1743.

Walbran, Captain John T.
British Columbia Coast Names 1592-1906: To Which Are Added A Few Names in Adjacent United States Territory - Their Origin and History - With Map and Illustrations
546 pages. Black and white frontis of George Vancouver plus twenty black and white photographic reproductions. Author was well-equiped for this work. By disposition a student, he became greatly engrossed in his researches, and secured copies of all the old records of voyages to the coast of British Columbia and knew their contents intimately. His duties in command of the Quadra took him to every portion of the British Columbia coast, including a great many waters that were practically unsurveyed, and so he acquired a thorough knowledge not only of the charts in existence, but also of the unwritten lore of Indians and traders experienced in the intricacies of that most magnificent coast. Major damage and closed tears to pages 527-530 with two chunks missing from page 529. Fortunately all text remains and is legible. Once inch tear to interior of page 546. Map at page 547 removed. Back hinge open. Front hinge going. Prior owner's small initial rubber stamp upon front endpaper and bottom edge else unmarked. Average soiling. Moderate yellowing. Gilt lettering upon spine remains clearly legible. Above average wear to dark green cloth spine and boards. A good first edition reading copy of this comprehensive reference. Book
