= Sabin 36804; Borba de Moraes p.430-431 (Spanish ed., mentioning a French translation, not listing a Dutch transl.); Tiele 1120; Cat. NHSM p.281. "Juan and Ulloa's Travels may be selected as the most entertaining and satisfactory work of its kind; they are the acknowledged source of much that has been published in other forms" (Sabin 36813). "This voyage arose out of the desire of the French Government (...) to send certain members of the Academy of Sciences to measure a degree of longitude in the equinoctial countries of Peru. (...) the King of Spain conceived the idea of sharing the honor of a scheme devoted to the advancement of knowledge, and sent two of the most scientific officers of the Spanish navy to accompany the expedition. This party carried on a series of operations of unexampled difficulty and encountered hardships and sufferings which demanded the strength of the strongest constitutions and the energy of minds stimulated by a love of science". (Cox II, p.275 on the English ed.). The first Dutch edition (first published in Spanish in Madrid in 1748) of this description of the whole of South America.

80 3535 Spilbergen J van 
- A very fine copy. One leaf lacks a small portion of the blank margin; the worldmap is doubled w. Japanese, but otherwise fine (old folds still vaguely visible when held to the light); English translation of the Dutch title written in late 18th/ early 19th cent. hand on verso of final blank.
= "Spilbergen's voyage was the most succesful Dutch circumnavigation to date. The fleet had kept together, there had been little loss of Dutch life, and the expedition had metted a considerable profit for its sponsors." (Howgego S159); Tiele 1025: "Dezelfde uitgave als de vorige met veranderden titel, doch dezelde titelplaat, die de 26e zal zijn op den titel bedoeld."; Tiele, Mémoire p.65b; Landwehr, VOC, 359; Cox I, p.52. On the worldmap see Shirley 304. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXXXIX.
80 3536 Swaanenburg W van 
- Partly waterstained; title doubled.
= At the end the famous treatise "Een eenvoudige, dog duidelyke verklaaring over de zo genaamde onverslaanbare parnasdreun te bruilofte &c. door den autheur zelver opgestelt, alleen uit liefde en zugt voor de onbedreeve poëten en dozynwerkers van zyn gelukkig vaderland". "In het werk dat zoveel weerstand heeft opgeroepen verwerpt Van Sw. het polijsten van verzen en de onderworpenheid aan regels, principes (...). Daartegenover stelt hij inspiratie en extase. Zijn overtuiging wordt gemotiveerd door de hermetische filosofie op naam van Hermes Trismegistos, waarin lijdzame overgave en extatische terugkeer naar de goddelijke harmonie kernthema's zijn. Het unieke satirisch-hermetische werk van Van Swaanenburg dient men te beschouwen tegen de 18de-eeuwse achtergrond van deze filosofie" (Moderne Encycl. van de Wereldliteratuur IX, p.198).

= Nijhoff/ Van Hattum 267. The finest description of The Hague. On the binding: presumably a PRESENTATION COPY. Extremely rare binding by the CB BINDERY (Delft). The first 2 volumes were bound by the bindery in Delft, the 3rd and final volume was bound by presumably the First Stadtholder Bindery (The Hague): "Four copies are known with the arms of The Hague in the centre of their covers (...) They will be presentation bindings, presumably the gift neither of the author nor the publisher, but of the town itself and intended for the many Hague functionaries to whom the book is dedicated, for other important personages and also for those who would hold these offices after 1730 (...) De Riemer published the second and final volume nine years later, not in Delft but at The Hague, with Johannes de Cros (1739). As far as is known, the CB Bindery bound no copy of it. Its brief existence had by then already come to an end." (see: Storm van Leeuwen IIA, p.404f). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXXXIX.
