Edition Notes
Extract from: Allgemeine Historie der Reisen zu Wasser und zu Lande. Leipzig. v.15-16, 1757-1758, in turn translated from: Histoire générale des voyages. Paris. v.13-14, 1756-1757 (edited by Antoine François Prévost). Most of the text is an abstract, only to a lesser degree it consists of extracts from two of La Condamine's works: Journal du voyage fait par ordre du roi, a l'équateur. Paris, 1751; and: Relation abrégée d'un voyage fait dans l'intérieur de l'Amérique méridionale. Paris, 1745.
Signatures: A-R(1 verso, 6, 7 verso, 8 recto blank). Leaf 8 is folded backwards, resulting in being the first leaf of the gathering and serving as frontispiece.
Includes: "Lionel Waffers Begebenheiten" (p.75-93); translated extract from Wafer, Lionel. Les voyages de L. Waffer contenant une description très exacte de l'Isthme de l'Amérique. Paris, 1706 which in turn is a translation of: A new voyage and description of the Isthmus of America. London, 1699.
