The fleet had kept together, there had been little loss of Dutch Life, and the expedition had netted a considerable profit for its sponsors"; Borba de Moraes p.827: "The Mirror is an extremely important book for the history of Dutch navigation"; Tiele 1030; Cat.

Bovenst. algemeene titel in letterdruk wordt voorafgegaan door een titelplaat in koper met dit opschrift "journalen vande Reysen op Oost-indie (...)"; Tiele, Mémoire p.105; Alden/Landis 599/94; Cat. NHSM I, p.104. Account of the first three Dutch voyages in search of a northeast passage to China, undertaken in 1594, 1595 and 1596. Gerrit de Veer took part only in the second and third voyage and based the account of the first voyage on the papers of his friend Willem Barentsz., who made all three voyages but died on his way home during the last voyage. Although the northeast passage had not been discovered, the travels were successful in providing much new geographical and climatological information. Apart from this information, the perils of especially the third voyage, on which i.a. Spitzbergen was discovered and the men had to spend the winter in a selfmade house on Nova Zembla after which they had to continue their travel in open boats since their ship got stuck in the ice, made this account worldfamous. Within a few years it was translated into French, German, Latin, English and Italian. First part of the series of collected voyages publ. by Michiel Colijn, Oost-indische ende West-indische voyagien.
