Travels of the Jesuits, into various parts of the world: particularly China and the East-Indies. Intermix'd with an account of the manners, government, civil and religious ceremonies, natural history, and curiosities, of the several nations visited by those fathers. Translated from the celebrated lettres edifiantes & curieuses, ecrites des missions etrangeres, par les missionaires de la compagnie de Jesus. A work so entertaining and curious, that it has already been translated into most of the European language. This work is illustrated with maps and sculptures, engraved by the best masters. To which is now prefixed, an account of the Spanish settlements, in America, with a general index to the whole work. By Mr. Lockman.
