Account Of The Customs And Manners Of The Micmakis And Maricheets Savage Nations (1758)

""An Account of the Customs and Manners of the Micmakis and Maricheets Savage Nations"" is a book written by Antoine Simon Maillard in 1758. The book is a detailed description of the customs and manners of two indigenous groups, the Micmakis and Maricheets, who lived in what is now Nova Scotia, Canada. Maillard, a French Catholic missionary, spent many years living among these two groups and observing their way of life. In his book, he describes their social organization, religious beliefs, daily routines, and customs related to marriage, childbirth, death, and hunting. He also provides an account of the languages spoken by these groups, along with a glossary of terms.The book is considered an important historical document as it provides valuable insights into the lives of indigenous people in the 18th century. It is also significant as one of the earliest written accounts of the Micmakis and Maricheets. The book has been translated into several languages and is still studied by scholars interested in the history and culture of indigenous people in North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
