very stout vols. oblong 4to. old calf, with 220 curious maps and plates, finely engraved in the De Bry style, vellum, Amsterdam, 1646

Notwithstanding the limited nature of the title, these volumes relate almost as much to America as to the East Indies. Sixteen of the voyages in this collection were here published for the FIRST TIME, and a complete copy of the whole work is not easy to find, as each piece, although the pagination is consécutive, was separately printed. Much of the information contained in the valuable maps was not generally diffused for above a century afterwards; witness the admirable map of the World in the account of Spilbergen's Voyage in Vol. II. America is most completely and accurately drawn there, in its true shape; California is correctly represented as a Peninsula, although in most Atlases and geographical books, even down to the middle of last century, it was drawn and described as an island. Hudson's Bay is called "The bay where Hudson did winter," and the discoveries of the English navigator are all set forth.

This is the first publication in print of the Laws of the Colony of Connecticut. The Laws of that Colony were, however, reduced to form in 1650, and, as then codified, were first published in 1822 at Hartford, in 8vo., making, with some other matter, 120 pages. The Code of 1650 contains many of the laws in this volume, word for word; many others are modified; and many are here introduced for the first time.
