Jenkinson, Anthony, -1611 · 1707

Of which some are never printed, others now first translated from their
original languages, and some notably improved;
Being a truthful and concise description of many strange
Kingdoms, Landscapes and Cities, their names,
locations, fortifications, rivers, seaports, gold and silver
mines, pearl fisheries, and manifold wonders;
Besides the acts of war and memorable deeds of the discoverers;
occurring in the opening of these lands; furthermore their dangerous
and rare encounters, remarkable histories,
gruesome devastations, prominent settlements
and the establishment of trade therein.
All throughout enriched with necessary maps, a multitude of fine prints,
and suitable indexes.
