The Library of Congress catalogues which distinguish the Jefferson collection assign to it the first edition as above. Jefferson’s
manuscript catalogue, followed by the Library of Congress 1815 Catalogue, and his undated manuscript catalogue (where it has the price,
2.10) call for the “1st & 3rd vol.” In the working copy of the 1815 Catalogue, “3d vol. missing” has been written in ink beside
the entry. As no second volume was listed by Jefferson, the absence of the third leaves the one volume in which the book was
issued. The bibliographies do not list an edition in three volumes, so it is not possible to determine Jefferson’s meaning.
Winsor’s description of this work begins: “According to Hennepin’s own story, some time after his first book was published,
he incurred the displeasure of the Provincial of his Order by refusing to return to America, and was in more ways than one
so pursued by his superior that in the end he threw himself on the favor of William III. of England, whom he had met at the
Hague. Hennepin searched Amsterdam for a publisher of his new venture, but had to take it to Utrecht, where it came out, in
1697, with a fulsome dedication to the English king . . .”
The engraving of the Niagara Falls is said to be the earliest depiction of the scene.

There were two issues of this book, one with imprint as above, the other, much rarer, with the imprint of Ernestus Voskuyl.
Copies of both are in the Library of Congress, but neither shows any marks of Jefferson’s provenance, and it is not known
which issue was in his library. It is entered by him in his undated manuscript catalogue, with the price,
2.10.
This work is a continuation of the author’s
Nouvelle Decouverte
, no. 4066 above.
