Philippe Fermin, 1720-1790, Dutch doctor and naturalist, was born in Maestricht. In 1754 he went to Surinam where he remained for ten years.
On his return to Holland he published this book, which was criticised as being too sketchy. He therefore enlarged it and republished
it with a different title in 1769. See the next entry.
