"The earliest known separate publication in English relating to Canada, and describing the first English conquest of Canada"--Cox.

The original single sheet had been divided into two some years after it was printed, and used to strengthen the front and back hinges of a volume of 17th century sermons. When the binding was conserved, the sheets were discovered (Cf. Cox). Until 2005, when the sheets themselves were treated by Conservation staff at the National Library of Canada, it was believed that the item consisted of two discrete broadsides. Conservation treatment proved that the two sheets had originally been one single sheet.
