Zustand: Very Good. Set comprising two volumes of text with plates. Uniform matching hard back binding in full red morocco leather covers, raised bands with gilt titles and tools, new hand made end papers. 8vo. 6¾'' x 4''. Leguat was one of a small group of male French Protestant refugees who in 1691 settled on the then uninhabited island of Rodrigues in the western Indian Ocean. The colonist's became discontented with their life on the island and after a stay of two years managed to escape to Mauritius in a small boat. Leguat arrived back in Europe in June 1698 and wrote this book recounting his adventures which was published in 1708. In his book Leguat describes several species of birds and tortoises that were endemic to Rodrigues but are now extinct. The French edition was published in both London and Amsterdam. An English translation with the title 'A new voyage to the East-Indies' was published in London, and a Dutch edition in Utrecht. Some of the text is very similar to passages found in works by Maximilien Misson, another French Huguenot living in exile. It appears that either Leguat copied Misson or, more likely, Misson assisted Leguat with the book and wrote the preface. The book is notable in containing Leguat's natural history observations on the now extinct fauna of Rodrigues, including the Rodrigues solitaire, the Rodrigues rail, the domed and the saddle-backed Rodrigues giant tortoises, and Newton's parakeet.

A VG tightly bound copy of this extremely scarce work with the plates in remarkably clean condition. The first English edition, of the French Huguenot Leguat's account of his travels in the Indian Ocean, published the same year as the first French and Dutch editions. According to the narrative, a party of Huguenots under Leguat's direction were sent by the Dutch government in 1690 to the Ile de Bourbon (Reunion), although the island had already been controlled by the French since 1663. Leguat and his associates continued to Rodriguez Island, where he landed on May 30, 1691 seven others. Although no serious hardships were suffered there, the party left the island two years later for Mauritius, controlled at that time by the Dutch. Leguat eventually returned to Europe in 1698. According to Howegego, "the voyage has always been regarded with suspicion, some suggesting that it was composed by Francois Maximilien Misson from other French sources. To add to the confusion, other scholars regard Misson himself as totally fictitious. Despite its incorporation into a Hakluyt Society edition, the voyage was denounced in its entirety by Geoffrey Atkinson in 1922". However, many others believe it to be a true, and not imaginary, voyage. The volume contains descriptions of the islands of Rodriguez, Mauritius, and Batavia, together with an interesting account of the Cape and the Hottentots, and of the Dutch Settlements in the Colony. A number of quaint illustrations of the zoology and botany of these regions can be found in the work.
