2 parts in one volume of four parts: 246 pages; 240 pages. Duodecimo (6 1/2" x 4") bound in leather with raised spine bands, brown spine label in gilt letter with gilt edges. (Sabin: 26303; Palau 96484) First French edition.Thomas Gage was born in England and died in Jamaica. His work, which recounts his life and travels as a Dominican friar in Mexico and Guatemala between 1625 and 1637, was first published in London in 1648, when the Puritan cause was victorious in England. This book is decidedly influenced by political and religious considerations and carries the deep impress of Gage's character, which in his later years was not a pleasant one. Gage wrote an eye-witness account of life and every-day events in the New World which made livelier reading than the impersonal narrative of the historian. In various descriptive passages Gage brings to life events of three centuries ago with marked resplendence.Condition:Back-strip ends worn with traces of sticker, rehinged, early owner's signature on title.… Read More

Sabin 26304. Hill 665 (for the 1648 edition): "[1625 to 1637] Gage spent in Central America, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Panama. He lived for some years among the Indians, and, on occasion, acted as parish priest or professor of philosophy. His book, published after his return, caused a great sensation, for it was the first to give the world a description of the vast regions from which all foreigners had been jealously excluded by the Spanish authorities. The work was translated into French, Dutch, and German, but its purpose was to urge the English to seize the Spanish territories in the New World."
