Vi ADVERTISEMENT. preparing a second edition, revised and corrected with the help of his own notes and such as had been furnished him, when failure of health obliged him to intrust its completion to other hands. The first edition of 3,000 copies had long been sold out; the second appeared eight years later. It contained some corrections and additions, but a few inaccuracies were still inadvertently permitted to remain. These principally concerned P. Muard searly days, the Abbe having trusted certain reports made to him respecting the behaviour of Jean-B aptiste sfamily, and particularly in regard to his mothers treatment of him, which upon closer investigation were found to be unsupported and undeserved. Had the Abbe lived, it is needless to say that he would have been anxious to amend any misstatements and modify any exaggerations into which he had been unconsciously betrayed. Of this second edition a translation by the Right Reverend Dom Isidore Robot, O.S.B., Abbot and Prefect A pos tolic of the Indian Territory, was published in America in the year 1882. With the aid of the documents intrusted to him the present writer has been enabled to place various incidents and transactions in a truer and clearer light, as well as to make copious additions to the narrative.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
