1769 1^ed Charlevoix History of Paraguay Jesuit Missionary Voyages Brazil Tribes

Pierre Charlevoix’s ‘History of Paraguay’ is a valuable history of the Jesuit missionary voyages to South America. It includes extensive descriptions on Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, and parts of Argentina with information about local tribes. Perhaps Cox’s description of the work is the most telling of its value:

“The most complete and satisfactory work on Paraguay, and the only one in which the vast system of the Jesuits is fully developed, the position of the author affording him peculiar opportunities for its examination.”
