Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Histoire générale des voyages ou Nouvelle collection de toutes les relations de voyages par mer et par terre, qui ont été publiées jusqu’à présent dans les différentes langues de toutes les nations connues (General History of Voyages, or New Collection of All Accounts of Sea and Land Travels Published So Far in the Different Languages of All Known Nations) is a 15-volume work by Abbé Prévost, published between 1746 and 1759. After his death, the number of volumes increased to 20. The collection describes the peoples, fauna, customs, geography, populations, and architecture of all regions known at the time. Prévost translated John Green's A New General Collection of Voyages and Travels, known as the Astley collection, but substantially revised and expanded it. He reworked the content, added new material, removed unnecessary passages, had the illustrations re-engraved, and included additional narratives and notes. The series was highly successful after publication, received royal patronage, and spread to other countries.
