CHARLEVOIX, PIERRE FRANCOIS X&VIER DE (16821761), French Jesuit traveller and historian, was born at St Quentin on the 29th of October 1682. At the age of sixteen he entered the Society of Jesus; and at the age of twenty-three was sent to Canada, where he remained for four years as professor at Quebec. He then returned and became professor of belles lettres at
home
 , and travelled on the errands of his society in various countries. In 1720-1722, under orders from the regent, he visited America for the second time, and went along the
Great
  Lakes and down the Mississippi. In later years (17331755) he was one of the directors of the
Journal
  de Trevoux. He died at La
Fleche
  on the 1st of February 1761. His works, enumerated in the Bibliographic des Fret's de la Compagnie de Jesus (by Carlos Sommervogel), fall into two groups. The first contains his Histoire de l'etablissement, du progres et de la decadence du Christianisme dans t'empire du Japon (Rouen, 1715; English trans. History of the Church of Japan, 1715), and his Histoire et description generale du Japon (1736), a compilation chiefly from Kampfer. The second group includes his historical
work
  on America: Histoire de
lisle
  Espagnole ou de Saint Domingue (1730), based on
manuscript
  memoirs of P. Jean-Baptiste Le Pers and
original
  sources; Histoire de
Paraguay
  (1756); Vie de la Mere Marie de l'Incarnation, institutrice et premiere superieure des Urselines de la Nouvelle-France (1724); Histoire et description generale de la Nouvelle-France (1744; in English 1769; tr. J. G. Shea, 18661872), a
work
  of
capital
  importance for Canadian history.
