Madrid, Imprenta de la Viuda de Manuel Fernandez, 1755. 4to.; 2 hs., 464 pp. Encuadernación en pergamino, de la época. Contiene relaciones sobre India, Filipinas, China (con un extenso informe sobre el Ginseng), México, Misiones del Paraguay, de Chiquitos y de Moxos, además de las extensas e impresionantes "Cartas" del Padre Gabriel Marest sobre su Misión y Viajes en el Canadá, en las Kaskaskias y entre los Illinois en el Mississippi. Destaca su descripción de la región de la Bahía de Hudson y de la Expedición de Iberville en el otoño de 1694.
Madrid, Imprenta de la Viuda de Manuel Fernandez, 1755. 4to.; 2 hs., XVI pp., 398 pp. y un mapa plegado, grabado en cobre, que muestra las misiones jesuitas en la India. Encuadernación en pergamino, de la época. Parte destacada del presente volúmen esta formada por las "Cartas" del Padre Sebastian Rasle (1658-1724) en las Misiones del Canadá, entre los Indios Abenakis, en Norridgewock, en el Rio Kennebec, en tiempo de las luchas contra los ingleses de New England, a manos de los cuales murió finalmente tras haber sido puesta a precio su cabeza. Su prestigio y fama entre los Abenakis fue imperecedero, su conocimiento de su lengua y costumbres impresionante, como lo prueba el manuscrito de su "Diccionario de la Lengua Abenaki", milagrosamente conservado hasta hoy en la Biblioteca del Harvard College y publicado en 1835. Otra interesante relación es la que contiene el viaje y estancia en el Tibet entre 1716 y 1721 del Padre Ippolito Desideri. No menor es el interés del Informe de la Visita de Fray José Peralta, Obispo de Buenos Aires, a las Misiones jesuítas del Paraguay en 1743.
