= The rare first Dutch edition. Buisman 2290 (Buisman sale 751); Scheepers I, 669; Klaversma/ Hannema 700; Van Eeghen/ Van der Kellen 55; Landwehr, VOC 373, note; Utopia p.173-174. Cf. Imaginary Voyages 41 (third French edition, 1682): "One of the most important imaginary voyages to Australia (...) this 'Australian Shangri-La' (Friederich), lauded by writers as important as Rousseau, Voltaire and Kant, and cited as a direct influence on Swift. Garnier was delighted: 'qui réunit le triple avantage d'instruire, d'amuser, & d'intéresser.' Although the work went through several editions, 'copies of any edition are scarce; of most editions rare' (Davidson). Vairasse (sometimes Veiras), was a Huguenot living in England, and like so many authors of imaginary voyages, famously accomplished and enigmatic. His invented Sevarambes live in an orderly Utopia, marked by Deism, a firm belief in Reason, and absolute equality. Siden, the hero of the story, calls it the 'most perfect model of government'. The book uses some knowledge of the Dutch East Indies Company (the VOC) exploration of the West Coast of Australia to provide the framework of the imagined Utopia."

- Portrait cut sl. short in top margin; one leaf paper flaw in lower blank margin; 2 textlvs. of the 2nd part w. 2 small inkstains. Fine copy.
= Provenance: V. dela Montagne. Hollstein 431-437; Waller 1732; Scheepers I, 282; Versnel 597; Franken III, p.99. The rare first and only edition of this charming work. The first part consists of a laudatory poem on peat and its trade on the peat-market in The Hague. The second part contains one of the earliest laudatory poems on tobacco to be published in The Netherlands. Arents II, 194: "In this potpourri, the author, after describing and praising the qualities of Dutch peat, relates (undoubtedly as a satire) an amusing incident which he says he had witnessed. A farmer, standing on his peat-loaded ship, was smoking a pipe and thus appeared to onlookers to be on fire. Great confusion reigned while some ran for ladders and shovels, and others for water with which to extinguish the assumed blaze, until the nature of the smoke was explained. In the Nieuw Wys-Mal is related a lengthy and involved fable in verse, presented as someone's dream, in which the two chief characters are Doddus, a blacksmith, and his helper, Julfus. In the course of their travels they come upon a field where grows a special herb. Doddus determines to make tobacco out of this. Julfus is of the opinion that tobacco smells bad. He is told by his master that it is not food for the belly but is intended only for the nose, mouth, and head. Upon the death of Doddus, Julfus plans to propagate the use of tobacco over the earth. Tobacco, he soliloquizes, deserves fame, for it clarifies poor eyesight, expels lice, and drives away wives. It has, too, other valuable remedial and social powers."
