3500 pp. Folio. 5 parts in 8 vols. 8 folding tables, 24 engraved maps, most of them folding, 265 engraved plans, views, portraits and plates of plants, animals, costumes, etc., of which many are double-page and/or folding and 78 engravings in text. J. van Braam; G. Onder de Linden, 1724-1726, Dordrecht and Amsterdam, NL.
The most extensive geographical and historical description of the whole area the Dutch V.O.C. had taken into possession or had gained a foothold in: the East Indies, parts of China, Japan, parts of the Near East, and the Cape of Good Hope. This work still is the main source for the early history of the East Indies, especially for Ambon, where the author lived for years, as well as for the Molucca's, Ceylon, Japan, China, the Cape of Good Hope, etc. That Amboina is described with special devotion and detail is explained by the fact that the author, Franciscus Valentijn (1666-1727), lived at Amboina during almost his whole period of service in the VOC as a minister of the church. He served 2 periods from 1684 till 1695 and from 1705 till 1714 and resided at Amboina fro 1686 till 1694 and from 1707 till 1712.
The work presents many documents which now are lost, and contains interesting statistics on the products and the trade in the various countries. It also contains the accounts of two early voyages to Australia, with interesting maps. And last but not least, the work also is of great interest today for its rich and beautiful illustrations, its early maps and views, engraved by the best Dutch artists of the time, such as F. Ottens, J.C. Philips, J. Goeree, G. Schoute and J. Lamsvelt etc., mostly after designs by M. Balen.

Essay from c.1880 on the population group of the so-called indigenous "Burghers"on Ambon. It was written by a government official of the Dept. of Finance in connection with the introduction of a new tax from which the indigenous "burghers"were exempted. Many references and citations from earlier literature are included, in particular from F. Valentijn. Details are given on the origin of the "Mardijkers" (liberated black slaves) and their descendants who were brought to Ambon from the North Moluccas by the Portuguese. It is argued, in opposition to Van Hoëvell (1875) and the resident of Menado, P.A. Matthes, that "Mardijkers"and "Burghers"were considered to be those who were not in service of the V.O.C., mainly mestizo's. The class of indigenous "Burghers"grew out of these burghers and the Mardijkers in the course of the 17th century. Developments during the 19th century are briefly discussed.
