1786 Voyages James Cook New Zealand Tahiti Palestine Palmyra Temple SYRIA 4v



The best book of its kind!



A rare book La Harpes General History of Voyages! This extensive work was begun by La Harpe, and, after the first 21 volumes, was completed by several other historians. Not only does this work describe the geography of specific voyages, but it covers the sciences, commerce, religion, and customs of people groups from Africa, Asia, Americas, and Pacific Islands.



According to Sabin, La Harpes Voyages is

“a work that has met with greater success than any other of the same kind; the fidelity of the narration, the striking details of adventures, and the lively pictures of manners, etc., it presents, will always give it a peculiar and lasting merit. Contains all the early voyages of America.”



These four volumes include notable voyages and topics including:

Third voyage of Capt. James Cook

New Zealand

Mangaia, Cook Islands

Tahiti

Voyages in Africa and Asia

Richard Pococke in Middle East

Temple of Palmyra

Palestine, Syria, Mount Carmel, Mount Tabor,

Voyages in Cochinchina, Macao, Calcutta, India,



These volumes are notable for the fine illustrations – an impressive collection of engravings!
