= Very rare second edition of the plays performed at the rhetorician or 'Rederijkers' festival of Rotterdam, 1561. Although these competitions in rhetorical theatre and poetry existed for centuries in the Southern Netherlands under the name of 'Landjuweel', these festivals were only introduced in the northern part at the second half of the 16th century. The festival here mentioned was organized by the Rotterdam chamber of Rhetoricians called 'Die Blauwe Acolye', which was therefore excluded from the competition. The following chambers were invited to perform the plays present in this edition: De Lelie onder de doornen (Noordwijk), De Goudsbloem (Gouda), De Roode Angieren (Rijnsburg, including a short song w. musical scores), De Pellecaen (Haarlem, old chamber), De Wijngaertrancken (Haarlem, young chamber), De Roode Alcolye (Leyden), De Rapenbloem (Delft), De Roode Roosen (Schiedam) and D'Egelantier (Amsterdam, winner of the festival).

The only account of the third French circumnavigation, containing important information on i.a. the American (North) West coast, Alaska and Hawaii. Without official government sanction, it was probably printed in a small number of copies. "In the preface the editor mentioned that the present work had been written three years ago (in 1820) but that the author, due to various circumstances and to certain timidity, refrained from having it printed. It was only because of his undertaking another long sea voyage that he agreed to leave it to his family, allowing them to use it in the way they wished. It was one of his brothers who took charge of the publication of the Journal without making any changes whatsoever. Its wording is exactly what was written on board the Bordelais" (Lada-Mocarski).
