It is in three volumes, the third containing the Journal (cf. Vol. IV. p. 358), of which there are two distinct English translations,—one, Journal of a Voyage to North America, in two volumes (London, 1761; reprinted in Dublin, 1766); the other, Letters to the Duchess of Lesdiguierres (London, 1763), in one volume. A portion of the Journal is also given in French’s Historical Collections of Louisiana part iii. (Cf. Sabin, no. 12,140, etc.; Carter-Brown, vol. iii. nos. 1,285, 1,347, 1,497.) The Dublin edition of the Journal has plates not in the other editions (Brinley Catalogue, vol. i. no. 80). There is a paper on “Charlevoix at New Orleans in 1721” in the Magazine of American History, August, 1883.—Ed.]
