LE CHEVALIER CHARDIN were published in Amsterdam in 1711. The last volume, announced by Chardin in his preface to this edition, was never published. THE CORONATION OF SOLYMAN III. THE PRESENT KING OF PERSIA, at the end of this volume, is a translation of Chardin's LE COURONNEMENT DE SOLEIMAN TROISIÈME, first published in Paris in 1671. Includes two indexes, one bound following part 1; the other bound at the end. The fine plates include views of the cities of Tefflis, Erivan, Tauris, Sultanie, Kom, and Cashan, as well as important monuments.
