Journal du voyage fait à la mer de sud, avec les flibustiers de l'Amérique en 1684. & années suivantes.

12mo: [16]-272 pp. (cut short shaving some running titles, occ. stains, part. sl. age-toned).

Contemp. mottled sheep, gilt-orn. spine with raised bands, spr. edges (front joint part. split, flyleaves and pastedowns renewed).

Second edition (1st 1689) of one of the first narratives on "Pirates of the Caribbean". In 1679, the French adventurer Lussan (1663-169?) embarked to Santo Domingo where he stayed for 3 years in search of fortune. Unsuccesful and to pay his debts, he joined a band of buccaneers with which he sailed the seas for 2 years. This work certainly inspired Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.
