About This Item
Haarlem, François Bohn, 1807Contemporary half green morocco, spine lettered in gilt. With 2 engraved folding plates of Algiers and Minorca. XVI,431 pp.First edition. - The second voyage (1783 - 1785) to the Mediterranean by the Dutch naval-officer Cornelius de Jong Van Rodenburgh (1762-1838), made in the ship Prins Willem in command by Cornelis van Gennip to the Mediterranean, includes long description of Algiers. De Jong wrote his travel memoirs in the form of letters to a fictional friend. It was a narrative form that had been used for many 18th century novels, but was still special for travel descriptions. It meant that De Jong was not too bound to a strict retelling of his travels, that he could elaborate to his heart's content on topics that he thought his audience would find interesting, and that he could address his reader directly Roeper & Wildeman, Reizen op papier, p. 104. - (Some library stamps).Tiele 553; Cat. NHSM I, p.121; Atabey Collection 620.
