Described in preface as: 1. Altar at temple of Vestal Virgins. 2. Temple of the Guaren or descendents of the Persians. 3 [i.e., 4]. Temple of the Natchez in Louisiana. 4 [i.e., 3] Coin from the Vestal temple of Faustina in Rome. This image is derived from Joseph François Lafitau, Moeurs des sauvages ameriquains, vol. 1, plate 6. The temple of the Natchez is, in turn, derived from Theodor de Bry's America, Pt. 1, plate 22, which shows the tomb of the weroans or chiefs of Virginia. Compiled and translated from several sources by Johann Friedrich Schröter, with a preface by Siegmund Jakob Baumgarten. Schröter was secretary to the Privy Council of Magdeburg and had served for some years as a missionary in Canada.
