Borba de Moraes page I:453; European Americana 733/146; Sabin 38591 First edition. Joseph-François Lafitau was a French Jesuit missionary ethnologist and naturalist. He is best known for his use of the comparative method in the field of scientific anthropology the discovery of ginseng and his writings on the Iroquois. Lafitau was the first of the Jesuit missionaries in Canada to have a scientific point of view. Lafitau is considered the first of the modern ethnographers and a precursor of scientific ethnology for his work on the Iroquois. He developed a model of studying peoples that involved describing existing cultures on their own terms—not in comparison to European society. He distinguished generic and specific traits transforming the "generic savage" into specific tribal groups. He explained that "only from specific identities can genetic relations be inferred." Furthermore he was the first to declare "contemporary primitive cultures throw light upon the culture of ancient people and vice versa. Lafitau is remembered for applying the comparative method with a greater level of competency than any of his contemporaries. Through original field observations he was able to critique the works of earlier writers on Primitive peoples. By using the Comparative Method Lafitau rejected all theories of social and cultural change and instead used his study to demonstrate the similarities in customs practices and usages of the Native North Americans with diverse peoples from different continents and centuries. He consistently relied on the doctrine of degeneration: all men originally shared one religion with one God but over time as people migrated to separate margins of the earth where they then lost touch with the values and traditions of this one true religion and culture. Therefore Lafitau believed in the "psychic unity of mankind" and the doctrine of primitive monotheism. His major work written in French was first published in 1724 in Paris. It is entitled Customs of the American Indians Compared with the Customs of Primitive Times Moeurs des Sauvages Amériquains Comparées aux Moeurs des Premiers Temps and is 1100 pages in total. In 1974 William Fenton and Elizabeth Moore made the first translation into English available. Lafitau published two other works. One Histoire de Jean de Brienne Roy de Jérusalem et Empereur de Constantinople Paris 1727 was released before he returned to Canada; it is little known and seldom seen. A two-volume Histoire des découvertes et conquestes des Portugais dons le Nouveau Monde . . . 1733 appeared after he came home to France. Frequently found in libraries it is not just a compilation of original sources but an attempt to make available to French readers a story of exploration and adventure otherwise denied to them; in the chronicles he sees a long development of customs hitherto unnoticed such as he had reported in the Mœurs; from them understood only he says in the original languages of the people who practice them he builds his "system" or philosophy of history and once more he is concerned too with the relation between custom and natural history or ecology.

Charles Le Gobien was a French Jesuit writer founder of the Lettres édifiantes et curieuses a collection of reports from Jesuit missionaries in China. It is a major source of information for the history of Catholic missions and life in China in those times. Le Gobien was born at Saint-Malo Brittany. He entered the Society of Jesus on 25 November 1671. As professor of philosophy and especially while procurator of the Franco-Chinese mission he sought in a series of papers to awaken interest in the work of Christianizing Eastern Asia. In 1697 appeared at Paris his Lettres sur les progréz de la religion à la Chine. Apropos of Chinese Rites controversy he published among other things Histoire de l'édit de l'empereur de la Chine en faveur de la religion chrétienne avec un éclaircissement sur les honneurs que les Chinois rendent à Confucius et aux morts Paris 1698; and in the year 1700: Lettre à un Docteur de la Faculté de Paris sur les propositions déférées en Sorbonne par M. Prioux. Under the same date there appeared in Paris the Histoire des Isles Mariannes nouvellement converties à la religion chrétienne. The second part translated into Spanish by J. Delgado is found in the latter's Historia General de Filipinas Manila 1892. In 1702 Père Le Gobien published Lettres de quelques missionnaires de la Compagnie de Jésus écrites de la Chine et des Indes Orientales; this was the beginning of the collection soon to become celebrated under the title of Lettres édifiantes et curieuses écrites des missions étrangéres par quelques missionnaires de la Compagnie de Jésus. The first eight series were by Le Gobien the latter ones by Fathers Du Halde Patouillet Geoffroy and Maréchal. The collection was printed in thirty-six volumes duodecimo Paris 1703–76 and reissued in 1780-81 by Fathers Yves de Querbeux and Brotier in twenty-six volumes duodecimo omitting the prefaces. New editions appeared in 1819 1829–32 and 1838-43. One abridgment in four volumes octavo was entitled Panthéon Littéraire by L. Aimé Martin 1834–43. A partial English translation came out in London in 1714. The publication incited the Austrian Jesuit Stöcklein to undertake his Neuer Welt Bott about 1720 at first considered merely a translation but soon an independent and particularly valuable collection five volumes folio in forty parts substantially completing the Lettres Edifiantes. This is a history of the Christian missions in the Marianas or Ladrones Islands in the north-western Pacific the principal island of which is Guam. Reprinted in the text are several letters from early missionaries Medina Clain Sanvitores &c. The Jesuit mission was established there by Diego Luis de Sanvitores. Father Le Gobien never visited the Mariana islands but based his account chiefly on the relations and letters of missionaries sent to him from Rome Spain the Netherlands etc. Includes a letter by P. Clain about the discovery of the Caroline Islands.

Borba de Moraes p. 740-41 first edition. Sabin 71997 noting the Venice editions of 1778 and 1802 only. Originally published in two volumes in 1777 by Strahan and Cadell in London and Balfour in Edinburgh "to a very positive reception" ODNB; first Venice edition published in 1778. "Its success" according to the ODNB "was even more marked on the continent where it was considered Robertson's masterpiece . . . With its dramatic sweep of narrative combined with a provocative confrontation of two very different stages of civilization Spanish and Native American and a prose that was more flexible and evocative than that of his earlier books the History of America is often regarded as Robertson's most interesting original and even Romantic work. However it also shows the Eurocentric limits of his stadial thinking because it presents an unsympathetic account of Native Americans and glosses over Spanish atrocities." Borba de Moraes credits Roberston with writing the "first history of the discovery and Spanish conquest of America based on ample bibliographical information and documents in the Simancas archives. . . . The bibliography at the end of the second volume is remarkable for the time." Franklin D. Roosevelt owned the first Venice edition. N. B.
