- 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.

"Dit werk 't welk de geschiedenis der burgerlijke onlusten te Utrecht (bekend onder de naam Conrots-spel), en van den overgang van het gebied van den Utrechtschen bisschop aan keizer Karel de vijfden bevat, begint na eene geschiedkundige inleiding met den jare 1524 en loopt door tot het laatst van 1529. Daar de kundige schrijver tijdgenoot en grootendeels ooggetuige was van het geen hij verhaalt en daarbij blijkbaar met de beste trouw en goede hulpmiddelen geschreven heeft, is dit uitvoerig werk voor de Utrechtsche, ja voor de geheele Nederlandsche geschiedenis van groot belang." (De Wind).
