Ad 1: Second issue of the first edition of this interesting work on tobacco, identical with the first, apart from the engraved title and rare portrait. Johann Neander was a physician who compiled information on tobacco from several sources. Among the illustrations are some of the earliest representations of American natives curing and cultivating tobacco. - Willems 257; Sabin 52173; Hirsch IV, 342; Pritzel 6624. Ad 2: Scarce and early treatise on opium by Ole Borch (1626-1690). - Thorndike VIII, p. 80; Jöcher I, 1260; not in Pritzel. Ad 3: Best edition with 8 pages of Greek verses by P. Francius (In laudem Thiae Sinensis Anacreontica duo. Amst., 1685), unknown to Müller and probably an independant publication. This work awarded the author the membership of the 'Academia della Riccovrati' at Padua, and includes epigraphs by J. Nicolai and descriptions of tea by Bontius, Piso and Tulp. - Müller, 167.€ 3200
