    Louvain: Chez C. L. Fonteyn, 1845. A second edition. Text in French. Later stiff card boards with blue cloth spine. - Both have a touch of darkening and rubbing.

    120 pages + 2 plates. 210 x 130 mm (8¼ x 5 inches). Une deuxième édition. Texte en français. Plus tard, carton rigides avec dos en tissu bleu. -Les deux ont une touche d'assombrissement et de frottement. Nom du propriétaire sur le papier frontal. Le reste du livre est propre et bien rangé, mais avec des rousseurs légères à modérées. 120 pages. Une carte dépliante et une illustration dépliante. Dans l'ensemble, un très bel exemple. 210 par 130 mm (8¼ par 5 pouces). L'auteur tente de démontrer que les religions du monde entier partageaient une croyance fondamentale avec le christianisme avant la foi juive. Par conséquent, il avait une interprétation « christiano-centrique » de la mythologie et des coutumes religieuses américaines primitives.
