Under his leadership, the property grew into a beautiful country estate with a formal garden layout that was customary for the time, with an orangery, barge house, orchards, a walled vegetable garden and several experimental espalier fruit walls. He designed the Berbice orangery from 1696 after he had traveled around Europe to gain knowledge and inspiration. His international network was large and included people like Tsar Peter the Great of Russia, who even came to Berbice to admire the orangery. Pieter is the first to get a pineapple to flower and fruit in the Netherlands, which was very special at that time. His knowledge about growing (tropical) fruits and his ideas about the construction and design of country estates became widespread with the publication of his book. Because it was also translated into French and German, it reached an unprecedentedly wide audience. - The first book on succesful ananas-growing in Europe. - (Age-browned). [Boeknr.: 36897 ]

Jenkins uses her own observations of Constantinople, her students, and their families to construct an account of a "typical" Turkish Muslim woman's life cycle at this turning point in Ottoman history. She directs her comments toward childhood, education, marriage, polygamy, and divorce, in order to correct Western misapprehensions. In its confidence in the bright prospects of American influence and Ottoman reform, this book captures an optimistic moment in which social progress seemed to be thriving (Text from the reprint).

With 2 engraved folding plates of Algiers and Minorca.

De Jong wrote his travel memoirs in the form of letters to a fictional friend. It was a narrative form that had been used for many 18th century novels, but was still special for travel descriptions. It meant that De Jong was not too bound to a strict retelling of his travels, that he could elaborate to his heart's content on topics that he thought his audience would find interesting, and that he could address his reader directly (Roeper & Wildeman, Reizen op papier, p. 104). - (Some library stamps).Tiele 553; Cat.
