Haller 1, 955 (very detailed on the expanded edition of 1723). - The first part of the voyage was published as a dissertation in 1702 and was later expanded and reissued. - This is the best known and most extensive travel work by Scheuchzer, who was professor in 1696 in Zurich. "He had the honor of being one of the pioneers in correctly explaining the origin of fossil, he made medical studies on the effects of altitude; and his annual and systematic excursions through the Alps became classics of natural history observation" (Hoover S. 170). - The book is dedicated to The Royal Society of London, which had made Scheuchzer a member in 1704. The expenses for the printing of the book were partially covered by the members of the Society. The main title bears Isaac Newton's imprint. With maps (mountain and river profiles), mineralogical and botanical plates. - Endpapers renewed. - Slightly browned, minor foxing and dust stains in places, a few pages detached from the binding.
