This edition is No VII of the Champlain Society. This copy is #46 of an

edition of 520 volumes printed for the Society's Members. The original

edition published in Paris in 1618 gives the full title as …Containing the

Voyages, Discoveries, and Settlements made by the French in the West

Indies and New France by commission …. Wherein is contained the Moral,

Natural, and Geographical History of the Provinces described; with the

requisite tables and maps.”. Marc Lescarbot (c. 1570–1641) was a French

author, poet and lawyer. He is best known for his Histoire de la Nouvelle-

France (1609), based on his expedition to Acadia (1606–1607) and

research into French exploration in North America. Considered one of the

first great books in the history of Canada, it was printed in three editions,

and was translated into German and twice into English. Lescarbot also

wrote numerous poems. His dramatic poem Théâtre de Neptune was

performed at Port Royal as what the French claim was the first European

theatrical production in North America outside of New Spain.

servant, and poet. Howe is often ranked as one of Nova Scotia's most admired politicians and his considerable

skills as a journalist and writer have made him a provincial legend. He was born the son of John Howe and

Mary Edes at Halifax and inherited from his loyalist father an undying love for Great Britain and her Empire.

At age 23, the self-taught but widely read Howe purchased the Novascotian, soon making it into a popular and

influential newspaper. He reported extensively on debates in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly and travelled

to every part of the province writing about its geography and people. In 1835, Howe was charged with seditious

libel, a serious criminal offence, after the Novascotian published a letter attacking Halifax politicians and

police for pocketing public money. Howe addressed the jury for more than six hours, citing example after




example of civic corruption. The judge called for Howe's conviction, but swayed by his passionate address,

jurors acquitted him in what is considered a landmark case in the struggle for a free press in Canada. The next

year, Howe was elected to the assembly as a liberal reformer, beginning a long and eventful public career. He

was instrumental in helping Nova Scotia become the first British colony to win responsible government in 1848. He served as premier of Nova Scotia from 1860 to 1863 and led the unsuccessful fight against Canadian

Confederation from 1866 to 1868. Having failed to persuade the British to repeal Confederation, Howe joined

the federal cabinet of John A. Macdonald in 1869 and played a major role in bringing Manitoba into the union.

Howe became the third Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia in 1873, but died after only three weeks in office. 120. Hunter, Rev. Anna L (Memo: From 1966 to September 1973). Highland A.M.E.
