| Meer info | “With a Postscript by Dr. Edmund Halley ... And an Account of the Settlement, Commerce, and Riches of the Jesuites in Paraguay”. 4to, modern red morocco, new endpapers. Title printed in red and black, [xii], [i, directions for binder], 335, [ix, index] pages, 37 engraved maps, charts and plates (18 folding), by J. Senex, J.B. Scotin, N. Guerard and others after Frézier, woodcut initials and head and tail-piece. Some light staining and soiling, partly a worm track in the margin, first map repaired with slight loss to image. Frézier's voyage was made on the orders of Louis XIV, to obtain military intelligence for a possible operation against the Spanish colonies on the Pacific coast. He surveyed the Le Maire Strait and the west coast of Tierra de Fuego, and produced on of the most accurate descriptions of South America to date. This English translation is particularly valued for its postcript by Edmund Halley, Professor of Geometry at Oxford University, which corrects a few of Frézier's geographical errors. |
