Haarlem, Erven François Bohn, 1833.

On his return to Holland, the ship on which he and his pregnant wife travelled was shipwrecked. Apart from the sad loss of his wife, he also lost all his papers in the shipwreck, and as a result had to write these memoirs from memory. - (Some foxing and waterstaining). - Scarce.
