Imprinted at London for Thomas Woodcocke, dwelling in paules Church-yard, at the signe of the blacke beare, 1582 This volume contains fourteen pieces, of which the following are notable: 3.

Letters Patentes of King Henric the Seventh, graunted vnto Iohn Gabote (Cabot) and his three sonnes, Lewes, Sebastian, and Santius, for the discouering of newe and vnknowen landes. 6. A note of Sebastian Gabotes voyage of Discouerie, taken out of an old Chronicle, written by Robert Fabian, sometime Alderman of London, which is in the custodie of John Stowe, Citizen, a diligent searcher and preserver of Antiquities. 9. The discouerie of the Isles of Frisland, Iseland, Engroueland, Estoti. land, Drogeo, and Icaria, made by M. Nicolas Zeno, Knight, and M. Antonio his brother. 10. To the most Christian king of Fraunce, Fraunces the First. The Relation of Iohn Verarzanus, a Florentine, of the lande by him discouered in the name of his Maiestie, written at Diepe the eight of July 1524. 11. The true and last discouerie of Florida, made by Captain John Ribault in the yeere 1562. Dedicated to a great noble man of Fraunce, and translated into Englishe by one Thomas Hackit. The most important piece is the relation of Verazzano, describing his voyage along the coast of North America, which is accompanied by a folding map bearing date of 1582, dedicated to Sir Philip Sidney. This early navigator was the first to enter the harbor, now known as New York, and Narragansett Bay. It is a volume of excessive rarity. The last copy, sold in London many years since, brought £75. 1116 PAKLUPT, (K.)

The Principal Navigations, Voi= ages, Traffiques, and Discoueries of the English Nation, made by Sea or ouerland to the remote and farthest distant quarters of the Earth, etc. Second Edition. BLACK LETTER. 4250 06 155 3 vols. folio in 2, sprinkled calf, fine copy. Imprinted at London, by George Bishop, 1599-1600 Contains the Voyage to Cadiz reprinted in fac-similie, (see folio 607); also an admirable autotype fac-similie of the very rare map which belongs to the second edition, but which is rarely found in them. It is spoken of by Hakluyt in the preface to his first edition as being then preparing by Mr. Molyneau. This second edition was first issued with a title page dated 1598, and containing on it a mention of the voyage to Cadiz, which was published with the book. The title page was reprinted with date of 1599, (as in this copy,) and no mention of the voyage to Cadiz, and the voyage itself castrated. See Oldys' British Librarian copied in Evans' ed. of Hakluyt, Vol. 1. Regarding the map before alluded to, we give Mr. Hallam's opinion of its character: "The best map of the sixteenth century," writes Hallam, "is one of uncommon rarity, which is found in a very few copies of the first (second) edition of Hakluyt's Voyages. This contains Davis's Straits, (Fretum Davis,) Virginia, by name, and the lake Ontario. The coast of Chili is placed more correctly than the prior maps of Ortelius. . . . The huge Terra Australis of the old geography is left out. Corea is represented near its place, and China with some degree of correctness; even the North Coast of New Holland is partially traced. The Strait of Arian, which had been presumed to divide Asia from Europe, has disappeared, while a marginal note states that the distance between these two continents in latitude 30 deg. is not less than 1,200 leages. . . . . But upon the whole it represents the utmost limit of geographical knowledge at the close of the sixteenth century, and far excels the maps in the edition of Ortelius at Antwerp in 1588."-Lit. of Europe, Vol. II., p. 494. 1118 HAKLUYT. Virginia Richly valued: By the description of the maine land of Florida, her next neighbour: Out of the foure yeeres continuall trauell and discouerie, for aboue one thousand miles East and West, of Don Ferdinando de Soto, and sixe hundred able men in his companie.

The object of Hakluyt in translating this book was to serve the Virginia Company, to which it is dedicated. Mr. Sabin, of New York, sold a copy a few years since for $250. 1119 HAKLUYT. 2600 The Historie of the West Indies, Containing the Actes and Aduentures of the Spaniards, etc. . . . .
