Nineteenth-century half morocco, spine with raised bands and gilt lettering, marbled boards.

First edition of this scarce book which, although suggesting to be an account of a voyage to South America, is actually a work of fiction. Durret himself claims that it was based on an account by the "Sieur Bachelier" to which he only added notes and of which improved the style. This however is not correct, the work is by Durret. "Chapter 17 of the first part and chapter 19 contain descriptions of Santa Catharina and Brazil in general. The letter is signed "Durret," but the account is by Bachelier, a surgeon. Father Labat believes this was an imaginary voyage" (Borba de Moreas, i, p. 281)."Récit, selon Barbier, plein de bévues et de contradictions, car D. l'aurait fait sans sortir de chez lui. Détails sur les moeurs, et sur les coutumes nuptiales de Malte, du Maroc, des Canaries, du Brézil, du Chili, du Pérou, de Madagascar, etc." (INED 1678.)"Contains useful information on the products of the South American coast" (James Ford Bell Library). - Title page cut short at foot and outer margin.

"Tsoqalem according to the Indians was a real historic character a member of the Cowichan tribe a Vancouver Island division of that linguistic group of the Salish stock known to us under the term Halkomalem whose habitat is and was the Lower Fraser Valley. How far the incidents of this story are literally true it is now impossible to say as myth and fact are inextricably woven together in it; but there can be little doubt that an Indian of the character of Tsoqalem existed some generations ago among the Cowichans and met with a tragic end at the hand of a woman somewhat in the manner recorded in the story." - from Foreword.
