This is a rare reimpression of the - also rare - first, 1780 edition.

Radermacher, Proeve over verschillende gedaante Koleur der menschen; Van Iperen, Beschrijvinge van eene blanke Negerin; F. Baron van Wurmb, Beschrijving van de groote Borneosche Orang-Outang (showing the paucity, then, of data on this large primate); A. Couperus, Bericht aangaande de Gamber-boom; Van Hogendorp, Beschrijving van het eiland Timor met Timoreesche woorden, etc. Uncut. Some wear to boards and spine. A very good copy.
