First edition of the most important early account of whaling in the northern seas. The author, a ship's commander in the Dutch Greenland fleet, describes the history of the Dutch whaling in the northern seas. Dutch whaling, dominating in Europe for most of the 17th and 18th century, was not confined to the Greenland waters only, but ranged widely across the northern fisheries, from the Davis Straits to the Siberian Sea. The work also includes short histories of the northern explorations in Greenland, Iceland, Spitsbergen, Nova Zembla, Jan Mayen Island, and Strait Davis, all accompanied by the newest maps and preceded by a map of the North Pole. The plates show the different whales and ships of the whalers. To Zorgdrager's work detailed lists are added of captains, ships, equipment and provisions for the ships, caught whales, the cost of equipment and crew, etc. Also the practical and technical aspects of whaling are fully described. The book was used as one of the sources for Melville's Moby Dick.With a printed ex libris bookplate of N. Du Jardin-Van der Avoort mounted on the front pastedown. The spine and boards are somewhat scuffed, the corners of the boards are slightly bumped, a tear in one leaf, some occasional foxing and (water) staining, the edges are slightly frayed.

6 volumes (vols. 3, 4 & 6 in 2 parts each) bound as 7. First Dutch edition of Picart's famous and richly illustrated work on religious customs, ceremonies and costumes from all over the world. With its six volumes, it is the most sumptuous publication ever on the religions of the world, richly and beautifully illustrated with large (and sometimes double-page or even folding) engraved plates by the French engraver Bernard Picart (1673-1733), who lived in Amsterdam from 1708. The text was compiled from a wide range of sources (including R. Simon, J. Abbadie, Dupin, Thiers, P. le Brun, Boulainvilliers and Reland) and edited by the Amsterdam publisher Jean Frederic Bernard for a French edition titled Ceremonies et coutumes religieuses de tous le peuples du monde, first published in 1723. It was translated into Dutch for the present edition by Abraham Moubach.The first two volumes discuss the religion of the Jews and Roman Catholics, including a double-page engraving of the interior of the Portuguese synagoge in Amsterdam. The third and fourth volume deal with the religions of the "heathens" in the Americas (including Mexico), India, Ceylon, the Brahmans in India, China, Japan, Africa and the Persians in Iran. The fifth volume concerns the Greek orthodox church and the several groups of Protestants. The last volume describes the Anglicans and smaller groups such as Quakers, Mennonites, Adamites, Freemasons and finally Islam.

Scarce reissue of the 1727 second and final edition (greatly expanded and revised from the first edition of 1720, and with additional plates) of a highly esteemed work on whaling. "It is by far the most important of the early authorities on the northern whale fishery and must always be one of the chief sources of information for the early history of the subject. It also gives one of the best figures of the Greenland Right Whale published prior to the present century, and also one of the best early figures of the Cachelot" (Allen). Unfortunately lacking the frontispiece and the map of Nova Zembla, but otherwise a very good copy, with some water stains and a tiny wormhole. Binding good, though worn at the hinges.
