BEAULIEU, August.
De rampspoedige scheepvaart der Franschen naar Oostindien, met drie schepen, uit Normandyen. Daar in  hy vertoont, niet alleenlijk de rampen en tegenspoeden, die hem in deze reis overgekomen zijn, en 't verlies van twee zijner schepen, in deze tocht verloren: maar ook veel aanmerkelijke beschrijvingen der plaatsen, daar hy geweest heeft, zijn handelingen met d'inwoonders, hun wetten, zeden en gewoonten. Beneffens verscheide  naaukeurige historien van die gewesten; daar in de geveinstheit, list, bedroch, wreetheit, en in 't kort de gruwelen der groten van die landen, en inzonderheid der Vorsten van Achem, vertoont worden. Door J.H. Glazemaker uit de Fransche taal getrokken en vertaalt.
