French text reprinted from a ms. copy of the original edition.
A reprint and translation of the only unofficial French narrative, the Lettre d'un habitant de Louisbourg, that is known of the famous siege by New England militia troops in 1745. The original was printed in that year, shortly after the siege ended and copies of this edition are now rare. The legend is "A Québec, chez Guillaume le Sincère à l'image de la vérité", but the small volume, in realtiy, was surreptitiously published in France. cf. Review of historical publications relating to Canada. v. 2. 1898
