He was also the companion of Captain Sharp, in his voyage for the discovery of a New Passage into the South Sea (1679-81), and the draughts in the above volume are partly the results of his personal observation. The ingenious Ringrose was killed February, 1686, by the Spaniards whilst the Buccaneers, commanded by Captain Swan, were carelessly removing their booty from Santa Pecaque, a Spanish-American town on the Pacific Coast which they had taken. 28228 HAPPELII gröste Denkwürdigkeiten der Welt oder so genannte Relationes Curiosæ, 5 vols. stout sm. 4to. with some hundreds of curious plates, hf. morocco, 25s Hamburg, 1683-91 A very curious and entertaining set of books, containing a rich collection of information concerning all parts of the world,illustrated with plates and portraits. 28229 MALLET (A.

HACK, roy. folio, the Original Drawings, charts and views coloured, old red morocco, gilt edges, with letters S.S. C. (South Sea Company) in gold on front cover, £72. about 1690 This extremely valuable and important collection of coloured charts appears to have been purchased by Sir James Bateman, for the South Sea Company, from Wm. Hill, whose autograph letter dated 3rd Dec. 1711, respecting the work, is prefixed. In that letter the book is thus described: "There is a large laborious ornamentall guilt booke of mine with a redd cover in your Office att Broadstreete, called the South Sea Waggoner, full of curious Mapps and Platts of ye South Seas, being ye long experience of ye FAMOUS BUCKANERE Capt. Barth. Sharpe and of an antient French Captain that hee tooke with his Booke, Mapps and Papers, who used those seas 70 yeares, being all in the said Booke composed and depicted by one Captain William Hack deceased, of whom I about 18 years ago purchased the said booke and paid him £70 for ye same &c." Captain Hack seems to have been out with Captain Sharpe; and interesting facts concerning the cruises of Sharpe and others are written here and there on the margins of the charts, by which the work known as the History of the Buccaneers may be valuably illustrated and supplemented. Hack published in 1699 a collection of Voyages, which was incorporated in the later editions of the History of the Buccaneers, but the maps in the above volume were never published. 28235 GORDON (Pat.)

It seems to be the map of some scientific Buccancer's voyage, and was probably prepared for the information of the South Sea Company. The last map is a general one, being a reduction of the entire set of charts on a single sheet. 28238 1713 LASOR A VAREA (Alph.)

It was executed at the expense of the British Government for the use of the British Navy, and no expense appears to have been spared in the execution, in order to render it a monument worthy of the nation. The work is divided as follows: Vol. I, Sea coast of Nova Scotia ; Vol. II, pt. 1, Charts of the coast and harbours in the gulf and river of St. Lawrence; pt. 2, Charts of the coast and harbours of New England; pt. 3, Charts of several harbours and divers parts of the coast of North America, from New York south-westwards to the Gulf of Mexico. Vol. I is, according to the list of contents, perfect: Vol. II. contains no list of contents, and so cannot be warranted complete. It has been compared, however, with another copy, to which we have had access, and contains seven maps more than that copy. The present copy also contains six more leaves than that described by (). Rich (Bibl. Americana Nova, 1846, pp. 248-51), and is thus most probably perfect. 8256 1799 CHARTS.
