"The Uffenbach brothers have decided to depart from Amsterdam soon. Uffenbach confirms Patin's statement about the largeness of Amsterdam [RKD excerpt no. 77496], and mentions he had witnessed that from the city hall tower. He comments on the fact that Amsterdam is built on wooden pillars and refers to Voyages historiques de l'Europe (vol. V, VIII, p. 146). He refers to La Hontan (Suppl. III, p. 143) for game houses. Uffenbach comments on the Trippenhuis and the engraving made in 1664. Uffenbach comments on unicorns and narwals."
