LESCARBOT, Marc (les-car-bo), French author, born in Vervins, France, in 1590; died about 1630. He was a lawyer, but, being of an adventurous disposition, he abandoned his practice before the parliament of Paris and embarked for New France. He helped to form the first settlements in Canada, and after his return to Europe he travelled in Switzerland and other countries. His principal work is "Histoire de la Nouvelle-France, contenant les navigations, decouvertes et habitations faites par les Francais es Indes occidentales" (Paris, 1609; 2d ed., enlarged, 1611; with new additions, 1618). In this rare and curious work the author first gives an account of the voyage of John Verazzani, and then describes the French settlements in Florida, the expedition of Villegaignon to Brazil, and the colony founded by De Monts in Acadia. He intermingles the narrative with anecdotes and literary remarks, and he added to the third edition a collection of verses entitled "Les muses de la Nouvelle-France," because he composed them during his travels in that country. Charlevoix considers him a sincere, sensible, and impartial writer.
