To my family and dear friends who have waited patiently for the appearance of this book.

CONTENTS

First, thanks to the many helpful librarians at the A.N., the A.A.E., and, especially, the friendly staff at the John Carter Brown library in Providence. The kindness of these people offsets the tiresome, officious behavior one encounters occasionally.

Without the help of the History department staff and the encouragement of colleagues, this labor would have been much more difficult. Special thanks to Dean Roy Meek of the school of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences for support of the typing of this manuscript. The American Philosophical Society provided a grant for research in France for another project, which allowed me to check many archival sources. Finally thanks to my dear colleague Carolyn White, who called my attention to Jim Casadas series.

Jim Casada worked patiently to bring this work to completion, and I wish to express my appreciation.

This work is the latest volume in the ongoing reference series, Themes in European Expansion: Exploration, Colonization, and the Impact of Empire. Like its predecessors in the series, the work constitutes a significant addition to existing bibliographical sources in its field. In the present instance, Dr. Philip Boucher gives us a detailed listing of materials ranging across a spectrum from manuscripts and unpublished theses to well-known printed works, all of which deal with the important subject of French colonial enterprise in the Western Hemisphere during the seventeenth century. This was a period of considerable French expansion, and the role of three individualsCardinal Richelieu, Nicholas Fouquet, and Jean-Baptiste Colbertweighs heavily in this work. In its totality though, the authors modest subtitle notwithstanding, the book is much more than a bio-bibliography of these three key individuals. Indeed, the author has covered virtually every facet of Frances overseas enterprise in the Americas during this period. Likewise, as is the case with all volumes in the series, individual entries have evaluative annotations, and there is a substantial introductory chapter analyzing both existing literature and areas where further scholarly endeavor is needed.

The author of this volume, Philip Boucher, brings impressive credentials to his task. He holds a bachelors degree in history from the University of Hartford, and his masters and doctors degrees were taken at the University of Connecticut. His completion of the latter in 1974 coincided with the beginning of his employment in the Department of History at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, where he has now risen to the rank of Associate Professor. Boucher is a member of a number of learned societies and scholarly organizations. From 1982 to 1984 he served as vice-president of the French Colonial Historical Society, then succeeded to the presidency, a post he currently holds. He has earned a number of awards in connection with his scholarly efforts, including a research grant from the American Philosophical Society in 1982 and support from the National Endowment for the Humanities for participation in its Summer Seminar program in 1983.
