Rich for Mr. Murphy. The Elenchus is the reprint of De Bure. The map of the Phillipine Islands is, by mistake of the binder, placed in Part xii, immediately before the text. The above is the title generally given in catalogues to the celebrated collection of voyages published by the family of De Bry, the first of whom, Theodore, was an engraver, print-seller, and publisher at Frankfort-on the-Main. Of all the early collections of voyages printed before the year 1600, this is the most extensive, and takes the foremost rank. Its value is increased on account of the important narratives which it embraces, for their completeness, and for the large number of beautiful copper-plate engravings with which almost every volume is illustrated. The collection is divided into two series; the first is known as the "Great Voyages" ("Grands Voyages"), merely because the volumes are taller and wider than those of the second series, which is known as the "Small Voyages" ("Petits Voyages"). The former relate entirely to North and South America, although their assumed title is the "West Indies" ("Indiam Occidentalem"), to distinguish them from the "Small Voyages," which relate to the East Indies and Africa (“Indiam Orientalem"). The Latin edition of the "Great Voyages" consists of thirteen parts; the German of fourteen. The" Small Voyages" comprise twelve parts. The conception and beginning of this collection is due to Theodor or Theodoric de Bry, who, in the year 1590, first published Hariot's Travels in, and an account of Virginia, which had appeared in London, in 1588, in a quarto form. The text of this narrative was printed in four languages: English, French, Latin and German, the same engravings being used in the several versions. The suc cess of this volume, which was remarkably well got up, having a map and twen ty-seven finely executed copper-plates, induced the publisher to issue a second volume the following year, relating to the Floridas, which the title designates as "America Secunda Pars;" but as the demand for the English and French versions did not warrant a continuation of the work in these languages, they were discontinued. The second and subsequent parts, therefore, were only issued in Latin and German. At the time of his death, in March, 1598, Theodor de Bry had published six parts of his "Great Voyages," bearing dates from 1590 to 1596. After the death of Theodor, the series was continued by his widow and his two sons, Johann Theodor and Johann Israel, who, in 1599, issued the 7th and 8th parts, and in 1600, the 9th part. After an interval of nineteen years, the publication of the work was resumed by Johann Theodor, at Oppenheim. "This important collection should not be regarded as a book of curiosity on account of the number of its engravings and the extreme difficulty of forming a complete and well preserved copy. These Histories of Voyages and Travels made several centuries back, in countries a large part of which are even now imperfectly known, contain, in the midst of a multitude of fabulous details, very interesting particulars and valuable information, of which they are the primitive, and in some instances the only source. Many subsequent travellers are said to have eked out their own personal knowledge of the countries they have described by copious and unacknowledged extracts from these volumes. Doubt. less the astonishment produced by the novelty of the objects around them, would easily lead into exaggeration the first discoverers of those distant countries, but they had the peculiar advantage of seeing them in their primitive state, before the changes produced by the subsequent and often calamitous visits of the nations of the old world. De Bry's collection is especially useful in the present day, for the purpose of instituting comparisons between his narratives and those of modern travellers to the same countries, and many of his statements formerly reputed fabulous, or exaggerated, have been confirmed by more recent accounts."Bibliotheca Grenvilliana. 380 DE BRY.
