= Pagination of the first edition but address on title suggests 2nd edition. Tiele 401 (according to collation); Landwehr, VOC 280; Sabin 28176; Borba I, 373. Account of 16 voyages by a ship's surgeon from Hoorn, made over half a century (1639-1687), including 5 voyages to the East Indies, one to Brazil and a whaling-expedition to Greenland. The others to the Mediterranean, the North Sea and Scandinavia, mostly in the service of the navy, a.o. under De Ruyter during the 2nd Anglo-Dutch naval war. The book is written in a straightforward style and full of humour; it gives many details on the daily life on board the East India men, particulars on De Ruyter's expeditions not found in the official biographies, and many trustworthy accounts of Asian countries, from Iran to China, including an extensive chapter on the trade with the latter. De Graaff also worked as cartographer, mapping the Malabar coast, and also made a fairly precise altimetry of the Tafelberg. The second part, "Oost-Indische Spiegel", is a bitter account of the corruption among V.O.C. servants and the immoral life of Dutch men and women in Indonesia. This part also gives many particulars on the tour of inspection by Van Rheede van Drakesteyn on the Malabar and Coromandel coasts to suppress corruption. The work was republished in 1930 as vol. 33 of the "Linschoten-Vereeniging", ed. J.C.M. Warnsinck, while E. du Perron adapted the "Oost-Indische Spiegel" under the title "Een Indische Nurks".
