Excerpt from The Works of Samuel De Champlain, Vol. 6 of 6
IN editing the French text here printed Professor Cameron, as was the case in Volume V, has taken immense trouble, especially in regard to the punctuation, which is very faulty. He has collated the text with many volumes of the original edition, and the results of his labours will be seen in the numerous notes. He has indeed spared no pains to make the text both accurate and readable.
Although the late W. D. Lesueur's translation was very good, it has been much improved by Professor Cameron's expert knowledge of seventeenth-century French. He has discovered the correct meaning of a great many technical expressions, to be found only in old French dictionaries.
