Book Details
Edition Notes
"This book purports to be a series of [24] letters written from Louisbourg in 1752-58, and edited by the author" but was actually written by Pichon in London. Cf. John Clarence Webster's Life of Thomas Pichon (Sackville, N.B. : Public Archives of Nova Scotia, 1937)
An English edition, "translated from the author's original manuscript," was published in the same year.
