Rare Dutch edition of Fryer's important and valuable A New Account of East-India [sic] and Persia, in eight Letters, published in London, 1698, containing much information on the customs, medicine, natural history, politics, religion and trade of the countries visited.
Fryer was surgeon in the service of the East India Company for nine years. He travelled extensively on the Coromandel and Malabar coasts in India, and also spent about a year and half in Persia, visiting the southern parts of the country and Esfahan. "He was well versed in the learning of the day and very curious in all questions connected with natural science." (Cox).

Binding slightly rubbed, otherwise a very good copy of this important account of India and Persia.
Cat. NHSM, p. 241; Cox I, p. 281; Tiele, Bibl. 365.
