Cordier, 447; Gay, 3151 pour l’\u00e9dition in-4.<\/i><\/p>\n
The smaller format edition, published simultaneously with the 4to edition the same year. Pupil of Linn\u00e9, Thunberg sailed in 1771 on board of a vessel of the East India Company. He spent 3 years in South Africa, then moved on to Java before setting foot on Japan where he stayed and studied for 5 years during which he catalogued many hitherto unknown specimens. Upon his return he made a stop in Sri Lanka. His very detailed accounts are an important source not only for his observations on natural history but also on the local habits, commerce, and economy. <\/p>\n
