Moeurs Des Sauvages Amériquains, Comparées Aux Moeurs Des Premiers Temps.
Buchbeschreibung: Paris: Saugrain l'ainé & Charles Estienne Hochereau, 1724., 1724. 4 Volumes in 2. 12mo. pp. 12 p.l., 256; 4 p.l., 296; 6 p.l., 248; 4 p.l., 196, [65]index. folding engraved map & 42 folding engraved plates (incl. frontis. by I.B.Scotin). woodcut title vignettes, ornaments & initials. contemporary sprinkled calf, gilt backs (front joints cracked & weak, 4 prelims from Vol. III misbound in Vol. II, several plates with small fold tears). First Duodecimo Edition. Originally published in two quarto volumes the same year; the plates are exactly the same, being folded for insertion in this smaller format. One of the earliest, most detailed and accurate first-hand accounts of the religious, political and domestic culture of the Iroquois and Huron Indians and a pioneering work in empirical ethnology. Lafitau discovered matriliny and outlined the classification kinship system of the Iroquois which Morgan, who had not read Lafitau, was to rediscover a century later. (See DCB) It was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that full recognition of his contribution to comparative ethnology was accorded. Lafitau's observations were gathered during a long residence among the Iroquois. A Jesuit missionary, he came to Quebec in 1711 and served at the Iroquois mission of Sault Saint-Louis from 1712 to 1717. "We have nothing so exact upon the subject of which he treats. His parallel of ancient nations with the American Indians is very ingenious, and exhibits as great familiarity with the nations of antiquity in the old world, as with the aborigines of the new." (Charlevoix) "Lafitau continues to hold high rank as an original authority, though his book is overlaid with a theory of the Tartaric origin of the red race." (Winsor) Dionne II 367n. Howes L-22. JCB I 345 (41 plates). Sabin 38597 (41 plates). Vlach 426. cfLande 494 (variant issue). cfBell L35, cfField 850, cfGagnon II 1129, cfTPL 158 (4to. edn.). DCB III pp. 334-38. Winsor IV pp. 298-99.
