The following year he was appointed to accompany the annual voyage to Japan of the East India Company as a physician. He remained in Nagasaki from September 1690 to October 1692 and twice accompanied the chief of the factory at Deshima on his embassy to Edo (now Tokyo). In Nagasaki he made a profound study of Japanese history, geography, customs, and flora. (...). The History of Japan (1727) [of which our copy is the translation] was for more than a century the chief source of Western knowledge of the country. It contains the first biography of Kaempfer, an account of his journey, a history and description of Japan and its fauna, a description of Nagasaki and Deshima; a report on two embassies to Edo with a description of the cities which were visited on the way; and six appendixes, on tea, Japanese paper, acupuncture, moxa, ambergris, and Japan's seclusion policy (...)."

Rare work in which the Dutch doctor of medicine Pompe van Meerdervoort describes his activities and the developments in Japan during his 5-year stay on the invitation of the Tokugawa rulers. The first six chapters of the work deal with the history and culture of the Japanese up till 1859 and their international relations. The final seventh chapter focuses on the activities of the Dutch in the period 1859-1863 and specifically on Pompe van Meerdervoort's own role as doctor and educator of a new and modern class of Japanese doctors. The plates mainly show the costumes worn by the various types of Japanese, but also include 2 nice views of the Bay of Nagasaki and the Hospital of Nagasaki, which was founded by Pompe van Meerdervoort.

Blackmer 38 (on this ed.): "First German edition. The work is a reduced version of L'Antichità di Ercolano published simultaneously in German and Italian. (...) The work was intended as a popular edition of the Antichità, for the use of scholars and as a pattern book for artists (...)." Cf. Blackmer 37 (on the orig. ed.): "The illustrated volumes of antiquities published under direction of the Royal Herculaneum Society, founded in 1755, represent the first attempt at a systematic record of all the discoveries made during the excavations at Herculaneum carried out under the aegis of the King of the Two Sicilies, Charles III."; cf. Cicognara 2645. G.C. Kilian's edition of the Antichità was one of various editions that saw the light soon after first volumes of the original work, which were published in a small number of copies for the "happy few" only, were published. Kilian published his edition in Italian, because it was his opinion that the citizens of the country in which the treasures of Herculaneum originated had a right to know everything possible about their history. The text vol. that accompanies this edition also contains: C.G. VON MURR: Abbildungen der Gemälde und Alterthümer, in dem Königlich Neapolitanischen Museo zu Portici (...). Siebenter Theil 98 Kupfertafeln (Nürnberg, 1793).
