THE TRANSLATOR TO THE READER.
THIS Translation was made from the French Co∣py, Printed by the direction of the Author at Paris, by Daniel Horthemels 1688, Octavo, with the per∣mission of the King. The Author had intermixed a de∣scription of several Islands and Towns in the East Indies, and other places of his Travels; which, because they contained nothing curious or extraordinary in them, and did not in the least relate to the Story of the Inquisiti∣on, I have wholly omitted; which might easily be done without any disorder of the History, or Mutilation of the Sense, since the Author had comprised all his Geographi∣cal digressions in distinct Chapters, and thereby given a fair opportunity of omitting them. I have no more to acquaint the Reader, but only that the Author of this Relation was Monsieur Dellon, a person well known to the World by his ingenious Writings, particularly by his Relation of his Travels into the East Indies, Printed at Paris▪ 2 Vol. in Octavo.
