Only 30 copies printed for sale. The original is dated Goa, 1613, and is of very great value in connexion with the history of the discovery of Australia. It would appear that the Portuguese obtained knowledge of that continent in 1601, about fifteen or sixteen years before the supposed discovery by the Dutch. Yet it is nearly certain that the French or the Portuguese were acquainted with the existence of Australia as far back as 1530.

28541 SIR FRANCIS DRAKE REVIVED: being a Summary and true Relation of foure severall Voyages made by the said Sir Francis Drake to the West Indies, viz. His dangerous adventuring for Gold and Silver. His Encompassing the World. His Voyage made with Christopher Carleill, Martin Frobusher, Francis Knollis, and others. . . His last Voyage (in which he dyed)... with Sir John Hawkins, Sir Thomas Baskerfield, Sir Nicholas Clifford, with others-four parts in one volume, small 4to. portrait mended, olive morocco extra, gilt edges, £12. 10s

ORIGINAL EDITION, portrait on title, cropped, and no leaf of errata, red morocco extra, gilt edges, £4.

The translator's, or perhaps merely editor's, name was F. de Louvencourt, as we find it subscribed to the dedication to St. Simon Baron de Courtomer. He had received the narrative from the Baron, one of whose tenants had been amongst Drake's crew in this voyage, and his own labour may not have been a translation, but merely an improvement of the French sailor's text. The narrative is certainly not identical with the English "World Encompassed,"

1567-96 DRAKE'S VOYAGES-continued.

although it goes over the same details, yet the navigator is always styled nostre General, just as he is " our General " in the English account. This French Drake was first printed in 1613; in 1627 it first appeared "augmented with the second part," this second part being an account of Asia and Eastern Europe, and in nowise connected with Drake. The Map, however, is the most curious feature of the book, and is EXCESSIVELY RARE. It was by a Dutchman, "Nich. Sype," and exhibits Nova Albion, that is the coast of California and nearly all the interior of North America.

Dedicated to King James I, and pressing upon him the desirableness of making a settlement in Newfoundland. Lescarbot had urged Louis XIII to the same end four years previously, but in vain. Whitbourne was a Devonshire man, and served against the Armada in 1588, in a ship of his own. He had already made a voyage to Newfoundland about 1580. He met Sir Humphrey Gilbert at St. John's a few years later, and frequently returned to the same shores afterwards. Pages 73 to the end consist of "A Loving Invitation to all his Majesty's subjects," and letters from some of the few planters already settled in the country.

He planted Newfoundland with Welshmen, spent many years there, and endeavoured in this whimsical book to encourage fresh immigration. More than half the work is a fantastic discussion on manners and customs, in which a number of Shakespearean illustrations may be sought for. In the third book we find mention of many famous English navigators, with reasons for praising or blaming their proceedings. Sir Thomas Button is censured for his lack of knowledge how to prevent scurvy amongst his sailors.
