Additional engraved title, 2 large folding maps and 2 folding plates, with the 5 inserted leaves between quires N & O (engraved title trimmed at fore-margin, second map with a few splits at folds, occasional unimportant discolouration). Modern brown morocco.
FIRST EDITION of the latter part of this important but much decried account of Hennepin's travels in what is now the United States and Canada, including his probably fictitious description of his voyage down, and up, the Mississippi. One of the two plates is the first depiction of the Niagara Falls. Sabin 31349.
