Description
1822 Voyages China India Columbus Cortez Mogul Illustrated Mexico 30v

In 1780, Jean-Francois de La Harpe composed a landmark work on voyagers and geography. From the beginning of his literary career in 1758, La Harpe was exclusively a French novelist and playwright. However, his attention changed when he began working on “Abrege de l’Histoire Generale des Voyages” – a history of voyages from around the world.

This enormous 30-tome set deals with voyages and discoveries in Africa, Asia, and South America. Some of the specific articles include:

King of Congo; burial ceremonies; King of Kochi
Hottentot people; tombs in New Guinea
Executions and torture in all cultures
Mughal emperors; Courts of Mogul empire; India sultans
Mandarin and Siamese people; costumes and clothing; feasts; Chinese emperors
Tartary men and women; Dalai Lama in Tibet; Uzbeki and Turkish people
European discovery of New World – Columbus, Cortez
Mexico, Aztec rituals; sacrifices and dancing
Eskimo life, Floridian culture
Discovery of Aborigine people in Australia, New Zealand
Much more!
