Strana 440 - French customs, but nearly all were affected "by the need for the things which come from us, the use of which has become to them an indispensable necessity. They have abandoned all their own utensils, whether because of the trouble they had as well to make as to use them, or because of the facility of obtaining from us, in exchange for skins which cost them almost nothing, the things which seemed to them invaluable, not so much for their novelty as for the convenience they derived therefrom.
Strana 426 - The hunting by the Indians in old times was easy for them. They killed animals only in proportion as they had need of them. When they were tired of eating one sort, they killed some of another. If they did not wish longer to eat meat, they caught some fish. They never made an accumulation of skins of Moose, Beaver, Otter, or others, but only so far as they needed them for personal use. They left the remainder where the animals had been killed, not taking the trouble to bring them to their camps.

Strana 254 - Let us see now whether the vine can come there to full maturity. In the first place, it is certain that the country produces the vine naturally, that it bears a grape which matures to perfection, the grain being as large, perhaps, as the Muscadine. As to its juice, that is not so [20] pleasing, since it is wild, and its skin is a little harder. But if it were transplanted and cultivated as is done in France, I do not doubt that its wine would be as good.
Strana 453 - A PARIS, Chez CLAUDE BARBIN, au Palais, sur le Perron de la sainte Chapelle. M. DC.
Strana 499 - Miscou a sept ou huit lieues de tour, avec plusieurs grandes anses, près desquelles sont plusieurs prairies et étangs où la mer monte et où il se trouve une grande quantité de chasse de toutes sortes d'oiseaux, il s'y trouve aussi beaucoup de perdrix et de lapins ; il ya là quatre ruisseaux qui coulent en la mer, dont deux peuvent porter canots, les autres non ; les bois y sont comme aux autres endroits, il ya néanmoins plus de sapins ; la terre y est sablonneuse, et ne laisse pas d'être...
Strana 443 - But they practise still all the same methods of hunting, with this difference, however, that in place of arming their arrows and spears with the bones of animals, pointed and sharpened, they arm them to-day with iron, which is made expressly for sale to them. Their spears now are made of a sword fixed at the end of a shaft of seven to eight feet in length. These they use in winter, when there is snow, to spear the Moose, or for fishing Salmon, Trout, and Beaver. They are also furnished with iron...
Strana 575 - Escureuils, 1'Ermine, le Pitois, la Foiiinne & les Serpens.

Strana 602 - Tissue n'est pas semblable, depuis qu'ils boivent du vin & de 1'eau de vie, ils sont sujets a se battre ; leur querelle vient d'ordinaire sur leur condition, car estant saouls, ils se disent tous grands Capitaines, ce qui engendre des querelles entre eux, dans les commencemens il leur falloit peu de vin ou eau de vie pour les saouler. Mais a present ils boivent bien d'une autre facon depuis qu'ils ont hante les navires pescheurs, ils ne tiennent plus compte du vin & ne veullent plus que de 1'eau...
