3.  The ‘Voyages’ of 1604-18 inclusive were translated by
   C. P. Otis for the Prince Society of Boston, in three
   volumes, 1878-82, with the Rev. E. F. Slafter as
   editor.  This is a fine work, but not easily accessible
   in its original form.  Fortunately, Professor Otis’s
   translation has been reprinted, with an introduction
   and notes by Professor W. L. Grant, in the ’Original
   Narratives of Early American History’ (Scribners,
   1907).  The passages quoted in the present volume are
   taken from Otis’s translation, with occasional changes.

4.  The ‘Voyages’ of 1604-16 inclusive have also been well
   translated by Annie Nettleton Bourne, with an
   introduction and notes by Professor E. G. Bourne
   (A.  S. Barnes and Co., 1906).  This translation follows
   the edition of 1632, and also gives the translation
   of ‘Des Souvages’ which appears in Purchas.

General Literature

The career of Champlain is treated in many historical works, of which the following are a few:  Parkman, ’Pioneers of France in the New World’; Dionne, ‘Samuel de Champlain’ (in the Makers of Canada’ series); Biggar, ’Early Trading Companies of New France’; Slafter, ‘Champlain’ (in Winsor’s ‘Narrative and Critical History of America,’ vol. iv, part i, chap. iii); Salone, ’La Colonisation de la Nouvelle France’; Sulte, ‘Histoire des Canadiens-Francais’; Ferland, ‘Cours d’Histoire du Canada’; Garneau, ’Histoire du Canada,’ fifth edition edited by the author’s grandson, Hector Garneau.

Portrait

Unfortunately, there is no authentic portrait of Champlain.  That ascribed to Moncornet is undoubtedly spurious, as has been proved by V. H. Paltsits in ‘Acadiensis,’ vol. iv, pp. 306-11.
