Jacques Cartier and His Four Voyages to Canada e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is with the third mentioned of these composi tions that I have now to deal, and I will briefly draw attention to the salient points of the essay in question. Mr. Stephens himself, in a few prefatory words, informs us that its motif, if it may be so called, has been to give all the facts concerning Jacques Cartier known up to the present time and he believes that his pages contain everything of value now known about Cartier. First, then, an account is given of the brave explorer's life, of which, as we are all aware, not much can now be ascertained, apart from what we learn from the Voyages. Next, Mr. Stephens has translated from the original French.
