A nice set of the first edition of Matiniere’s history of Asia, Africa and the Americas. Martiniere is especially famous for his extensive work “Grand Dictionnaire Geographique Et Critique” in 10 volumes. Pierre-François-Xavier de Charlevoix (1682-1761), a French Jesuit priest, explorer, and historian and famous for his extensive travels and writings about North America noted his debt to Martiniere and the present work.
