New edition, the first and only one in quarto, of this extensive historical and geographical description of Switzerland, which originated in Abraham Ruchat's Délices and was progressively recast over more than sixty years. Published in Neuchâtel by Samuel Fauche in 1778, it comprises two volumes substantially enlarged from the earlier editions, combining Ruchat's text with that of Abraham Stanyan and contributions by several other authors. A binder's instruction leaf at the end of each volume specifies the arrangement of the extensive series of illustrations.
