Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 4: Travels and Explorations of the Jesuit Missionaries in New France, 1610-1791 Following is a synopsis of the documents contained in the present volume: XIV. In the concluding portion (Chapters xxvi.-xxxvii.) of the Relation of 1616, Biard relates how he and Father Quentin were taken to Virginia, where they narrowly escaped death; they then were sent to England, and finally to France, arriving there after a captivity of over nine months, and being subjected to many perils by sea and land. The annalist records what progress the Christian religion has made in New France. The missionaries have now learned the nature of the country, and the character and needs of the people; and the colonists have established friendly relations with the savages. The latter have some general knowledge of religion, and are anxious to be baptized. Several miracles are recounted, in the cure of persons given up as dying. Biard then discusses at length the respective territorial claims of the French and English in the New World, and contends that New France should extend southward at least to 39°. He concludes by urging that more attention should be given in France to both the temporal and religious interests of Canada, especially to the conversion of the savages. Between the dates of Documents XIV. and XV. in our series, there is a break of nine years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
