Browne, Edward Granville (1862-1926) Persian scholar, orientalist, physician, and polyglot (Arabic, English, Persian, Turkish), Browne visited Persia for a full year beginning in October of 1887. The trip changed the course of Browne's life as Persia, and most particularly its literature and politics, became "the central object of his studies and the absorbing interest of his life". His description of that trip, A Year Amongst the Persians (1893), is "among the foremost classics of travel in English literature".The same trip also provided the basis for A Traveller's Narrative written to illustrate the episode of the Bab (1891) and The new history of Mirza Ali Muhammad (1893). Browne's multivolume Literary History of Persia until the time of Firdausi was, for many years, "the standard authority on the subject". (DNB)

BRUZEN LA MARTINIERE, (Antoine Augustin).
Introduction a L'Histoire de l'Asie de L'Afrique, et de l'Amerique. Pour servir de suite a l'Introduction a l"Histoire du Baron deu Pufendorff.
Amsterdam: Zacharie Chatelain, 1735. In two volumes. First edition. 12mo., full cont. calf, raised bands, gilt compartments, leather spine labels, (xxxiv), 504; 568 (pp.428-568 is a publishers catalogue).

Bruzen la Martinere [1662-1746] intended this work to do for Asia, Africa and America what Baron Puffendorff's "l'Introduction a l'Histoire" did for Europe. Canada is covered in the section on America in volume II, and included information on Labrador, "Terre-Neuve," the voyages of Cartier, Frobisher, Fox and Hudson, the English exploration of America, etc. (approx. pp. 337-345, and 391-427).
