notes:
Described in preface as: 1. Sacrifice of the firstborn by the Floridians. 2. Sacrifice of the stag in Florida. 3. A Carib offers cassava bread at a post symbolizing the deities. This image is derived from Joseph François Lafitau, Moeurs des sauvages ameriquains, vol. 1, plate 7, which in turn is derived from Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 2 , plates 34 & 35. 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.
