An very wide ranging encomium of events and personages from around the world in the early seventeenth century. Numerous pictures with lengthy captions: portraits, maps of cities, late Ming landscape paintings, and many others. Many of the episodes were interesting and exciting, but the prose was a bit flat, especially in the last quarter of the book. Lengthy bibliography and long essay for further reading.
