[VAIRASSE, DENIS]. Histoire des Sevarambes, peuples qui habitent .. la Terre Australe, contenant une relation du gouvernement; des moeurs, de la religion, & du langage de cette nation .. nouvelle edition, revue & corrigee.
Amsterdam, Estienne Roger 1716. Two volumes in one 12mo unlettered sheep (an old repair to the spine, some chipping but solid enough); frontispieces (the same in each volume) and 8 plates. ¶ Probably the fourth French edition (there were translations into other European languages quite early though no complete English translation until well after this) of this fairly famous imaginary voyage and utopia; more plates than earlier editions but I don’t know what the advertised revisions and corrections are. At the end is a long publisher’s catalogue of music.
