Description

Rotterdam, R. Arrenberg, 1784. 8vo (22.5 x 13.7 cm). 488, 90 pp.; two engraved title vignettes. Contemporary half calf over speckled boards. Spine with five raised, gilt-bordered bands; two morocco labels with gilt title and volume number. = This is a rare reimpression of the - also rare - first, 1780 edition. Contains geographical, zoological-anatomical, botanical and medical contributions, as well as linguistic and ethnographical works, for instance: W. van Hogendorp, Vervolg der Beschrijving van het Eiland Timor en de naby gelegen Eilanden; J. Radermacher, Proeve over verschillende gedaante Koleur der menschen; Van Iperen, Beschrijvinge van eene blanke Negerin; F. Baron van Wurmb, Beschrijving van de groote Borneosche Orang-Outang (showing the paucity, then, of data on this large primate); A. Couperus, Bericht aangaande de Gamber-boom; Van Hogendorp, Beschrijving van het eiland Timor met Timoreesche woorden, etc. Uncut. Some wear to boards and spine. A very good copy.
