the text. Mibdern hf. calf. Frs. 120.—
Secondand last Dutch edition of the first book on the natural
history of America. It is written for the greater part on the West-Indies. The
author, Joseph de Acosta, one of the most interesting and valuable of
the early Spanish writers upon America, lived 17 years among the Indians of
Peru. In consequence there are to be found in his book relations of the history
and wars of the Indians, most curious details of the Aborigines before their
peculiar customs had become modified by contact with the whites, etc. The
woodcuts represent animals, human sacrifices, pearl-fishery, single-fights,
priests etc.
The 4 leaves of the Register are cut rather short with loss of a few
letters, slight stains in places, otherwise good copy.
