General note"First French edition, of extreme rarity, translated from the Spanish. The author's name is rather singularly changed. The translation was made by M. de Frontignières. In 1689 the Journal of Raveneau de Lussan first appeared, and was republished in 1692, and is afterwards generally added to the work. Editions of Oexmelin, with this addition, appeared in 3 vols., 12mo, in 1699."--Sabin, Bibl. amer., v. 6, p. 312.
General noteThe dedicatory letter is signed by the translator, who while utilizing the Spanish version by Bonne-Maison practically rewrote the work, rearranging it as to details and giving it a more literary form. cf. Barros Arana, Notas, p. 72.
