Large Quarto (310 x 235 mm). 292 pages, gilt on top edge, with nearly 150 historic engravings, including 40 watercolours in full colour.

Of this special edition 100 copies have been bound in full leather, gilt on spine and on front board, for the Book Collectors Society of New York, of which this copy is number 32.

The editor has attempted to create, through contemporary narratives and pictures, the story of the first abortive French and English settlements on the eastern shores of North America.

The book has been handsomely designed and exceptionally well printed in America, and the fine leather binding was done in Britain. Number 32 is a fine copy.
