The Voyage of Francois Leguat of Bresse to Rodriguez, Mauritius, Java, and the Cape of Good Hope

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This work contains the memoirs and observations of Francois Leguat (1637-1735), the leader of a group of French Huguenots forced to colonise the Indian Ocean island of Rodriguez in 1693.
