8vo. v, 3-117, [3]pp. Folding engraved map titled 'Part of the great river de la Plata, of Tucuman' by H. Moll. Modern speckled calf, spine gilt with leather label Rare work, particularly of interest for the accounts of the commercial ventures in the River de la Plata. A reprint of the 1698 English translation of Voyage of Sieur Accarrete to Buenos Aires, originally published as no. 37 in Thévenots Relation de divers voyages curieux (1672). Though no details about the author are known beyond his name, it is speculated that he may have been a French Basque. The handsome folding map by Moll is "A New Map of Part of the Great River de la Plata, of Tucuman." The dedication in this edition by Darby is addressed to the directors of the South Sea Company. In it Darby points to a profitable future in the South American trade: "I don't doubt but by your wise Direction, under the Patronage of your August Governour, our Wealth and Commerce will be vastly increas'd: this Way being evidently the easiest and speediest to convey the Product and Manufactures of Europe to Chili and Peru, and also the safest to bring Gold and Silver from thence into this part of the World." European Americana 716/1; Sabin 42918; Palau 260451; JCB (1)III:215.

First separate edition in English, first published in larger works, firstly in French in Thévenot's Relations de divers voyages (1672), and in English in Acuña's Voyages and discoveries in South-America (1698), here reprinted from the latter without credit. "Acarete du Biscay was a Frenchman, possibly of Basque origin, about whom very little is known. In December 1657 he embarked from Cádiz, Spain for the Plate River region of South America, posing as the nephew of a Spanish gentleman to circumvent a ban by Spain on visits by foreigners to its New World possessions. In 1658 he travelled overland across the Argentine pampas to the silver mines of Potosí, located in present-day Bolivia. In 1672, Acarete published an account of this trip in his native French. Acarete made detailed observations about the places he visited and the people he encountered, and his work is an important source for the history of Argentina and Peru in the early years of Spanish settlement" (WorldCat Identities). This publication does not name him, and gives the false name "Mr. R.M.". The dedication, to the directors of the South Sea Company, expresses the hope that through Buenos Aires Britain's wealth and commerce will be increased, conveying products from Europe to Chilli and Peru, and returning gold and silver.
