Catalogue Note

According to Sabin: "This is a reprint of the translation published in 1698 of the voyage of Sieur Acarette to Buenos Ayres, from Thevenot's 'Collection', without any acknowledgement of the source from whence it was taken". This copy is a variant without the printer's name at the end of the preface.
