Sabin 14925. – Erste Ausgabe. – „Combier (a French merchant) undertook to write an account of the voyages he had undertaken in the course of his commercial activities in the New World. He settled mainly in Guaymas and Hermosillo, and sailed between Mexican ports such as Guaymas, Acapulco, Mazatlan and Veracruz. He also visited Valparaiso, Chile, and the area around La Paz-Loreto in Baja California. His observations on the people and terrain visited were carefully noted and included in the narrative“ (Hill p. 61). – Einband etwas berieben, Kapital mit kl.
