Paragraph respecting Eme on pp. 45, 46. 1 Map folding, with 3 others and 9 plates, all of which except Eme have cyphers, sometimes altered to suit the change of page.

The date on the title was originally printed thus M. D. VI. The C was afterwards introduced, sometimes with a pen, but in this copy probably with a punch-thus M. DCVI.

Part 1. 5th Ed. 1625, entirely reprinted. Title in 11 lines, of which the last is Editio Quinta in Roman type. Vignette the same-and the imprint below in 3 lines.

the two volumes, which in all other respects are identical

In the dedication most commonly found-the 1st page, 1st line Gestrenger in. 2d line gemeine. 2d page 4th line 1590-Gewürtze, 11th line Gewürtze 14th line hern vund-16tr line no space after wollen and Cap E ends the line-17th line begins with dienst-willig and ends groszgün. 19th line, gutern. 21st line Octobr. This leaf is not in the register, but is in both copies marked (*) as noted above.

Part 2. 1st Edition. 1602. 2d issue. Alike in all respects except the dedication, which is a fac simile of that in the British Museum, which agrees with that in the Royal Library, Munich. It probably was reprinted on account of the date in the fourth line 1597, which perhaps should be

1590.

In this on 1st page 1st line Gestrēger. 2d line gemein, 2d page 4th line 1597-Gewürtz-11th line Gewürtz-14th line herrn vnd, 16th line space after wollen and line ends vnd. 17th line begins E and ends gross-19th line guten. 21st Octob. Voyage begins on page 1 signature Aij and ends on page 126-the verso of Qi followed by a blank leaf, completing the sig.-the reverse of 45 is 48 and 46, 47 are omitted in the pagination-102 is 103. All the plates, and small maps are marked with numerals showing where they should be inserted. There are 2 maps and 13 plates.

1. Map a folding map. Insula India Orientalis et Molucca-placed opposite page 1.

1. Plate in 2 compartments. The upper one Insula de Cerni sive Mauritii. In lower, a Dodo,-3 men standing on tortoise. In top compartment marked p. 13.

2. Plate King of Tuban on an elephant in front marked 33.

2. Small map. Die Insel Madagascar with 19 in the corner, and the addition as in P. 1, 2d Ed. and without any inscription below.

3. Plate.

Playing at Ball. 76.

Insula Ternate, 101.

Civitas Game Lame, 106.

Thus 13 plates and 2 maps = 15, as all the subsequent editions have.

Part 2. 2d Edition, 1605, reprinted. Title in 13 lines-of which the 13th is Editio Secunda in Roman type above the vignette, which corresponds with that in 1st Ed. Imprint below Franckfurt, In Verlegung Levini Hulsii (in small caps) 1605. | in one line,-Verso of title blank.

Folding Map, as in 1st edition but with additions

-Ceiram is inserted at east between South lat. I and 2. At the top above the title, the city of SIAN is inserted; and above Pontiam at the left Ligonam. whence the line of coast is extended through the title. Voyage begins on p. 1 sig. Aij and ends on page 118-sig. A to P. in 4s black letter-At the end is the word Finis in caps-Page 50 is 05. 2 Maps and 13 Plates as in 1st edition and marked as in ist Ed., though requiring to be differently placed.Entirely reprinted from 1st Ed., and corresponding page for page with the 3d Ed., but varying from that on each leaf.

Part 2. 3d Edn, 1615, reprinted. Title in 12 lines, of which the 12th is Editio Tertia in Roman type-followed by the same vignette as in Ist & 2d editions. Imprint below in one line, Franckfurt, In Verlegung Levini Hulsii Wittib 1615 | Levini Hulsii in small caps, verso blank.

Folding map as in 2d Edns. with all the additions

there noted.

Voyage begins on p. 1, sig. Aij and ends on p. 118, verso of P4, in black letter-but pagination incorrect. 43 is 34-71 and 72 omitted, and 79, 80 are repeated. Chap. 16 is passed over. Chap. 29 is misprinted 31. The whole sig. K is wrong. From the top of page 73 to the 8th line of p. 76 the text is repeated. It is a repetition of the part included in 4th 1. from the bottom of p. 67 to the end of page 70. It then proceeds from the end of page 79 (verso of Kij) the 6th line of chap. 24, and omits all to the 20th line of the 25th chapter on the 79th page (sig. Ii) and it then agrees with the other issue to the end. 2 Maps and 13 Plates corresponding with those in the 2d Ed., the map being altered, but the cyphers on many plates do not agree with the pagination. Copies of this imperfect edition are by no means un

common.

Another copy, which may be called the 2d issue, 43 is 34-Chap. 16 is passed over. Chap. 29 is 31. The sig. K has been reprinted, and carries on the text in order. 15 Maps and Plates as aboveThere seems to be a slight difference in the type of Sig. K. Perhaps after some copies were sent out, the mistake was discovered, and the signature cancelled and reprinted. Yet it is uncertain which issue is the earlier, for the incorrect sig. K is sometimes found in sets of the voyages with the later editions of the other parts-and more recently it was included in a set of 6 parts issued in 1633 hereafter described. It may therefore be the later issue of the 3d edition. There is no 4th Ed. of Part 2.

PART III. ATTEMPT OF THE DUTCH TO DISCOVER A NORTH EAST PASSAGE.

Part 3. 1st Edition, 1st issue, 1598. The title begins Warhafftige Relation | &c. in 16 lines-the last of which above the vignette, Levinum Hulsium, is in comparatively large italics. The vignette represents a vessel surrounded by ice, &c., and at the sides a Hollander & Samiuatian. The imprint below is in one line. Noriberga Impensis L. Hul

sij, Anno M. D. XCVIII. | Verso blank. Another title in this copy, corresponds with the above, except that the date is M. D. XCVIIII. [1599] but probably a blur in the printing has been used and lengthened into a fourth I.

Dedication 2 pages, the caption in 4 lines, then coat of arms, and 3 lines of text below, with catchword sein. On the verso it is dated in latin at the

end. Noribergæ ex Museolo, 10 Augusti, Anno 1598 and signed Levinus Hulsius.

Preface of Hulsius 12 pages unnumbered ending on the last with a woodcut tail piece. The first two ff. have no sig. (forming with title and dedn the 1st sheet). The last four are sig. A. On the verso of Aiij is a woodcut filling the whole page of a Greenlander fishing in his boat, &c., with the title Figur dess Wilden Manns und Weib so in Engelland gebracht.-De Veer's Preface, 2 ff. sig. Bi and ij unnumbered, signed by him-followed by the same tail piece as Hulsius' preface.

Text begins page 1 sig. Biij & ends on page 145, the verso of Viij followed by a last leaf, on the recto of which, page 146, is a list of the 12 men who returned to Amsterdam. At the bottom Finis | Gedruckt zu Nürnberg durch Chri | stoff Lochner, In Verlegung | Levini Hulsii, Anno | 1598. | —signatures in 4S.

Thus 34 maps and plates & woodcut of Greenlander, &c. in preface.

Copies of this 1st ed. occur with plates without cyphers-in this copy 11 are without (marked on fly leaf). In the other editions all re numbered, and

have the cyphers altered to suit the change of pages -this 1st ed. is not numbered as one of the series. Page 13 is blank.

Part 3d. 1st Edition, 2d issue, 1602. The title begins Dritte Theil | vnd Warhafftige Relation | &c. in 16 lines like the 1st issue, but contents of lines different-the last above the vignette is Levinus Hulsius in roman caps. Then same vignette and imprint below in two lines Nürenberg (a black line across the page) Impensis Levini Hulsij, M.DCII | Levini Hulsii in small Roman caps. Dedn. Aij Title in 4 lines, coat of arms, and 4 lines of text below-catchword Hispa. Dated on verso in latin Noriberga, ex Museolo, 6 Februarii, 1602 and signed Levinus Hulsius.

Preface by Hulsius 2 ff A3 & continued as in Ist issue in the 4 following ff. of sig. A, including woodcut of Greenlander, exactly as in 1st issue.

DeVeer's Preface 2 ff & Text p. 1-146 exactly as in 1st issue with 32 maps and plates-No. 2 the mariner's compass and No. 8, Ship off the shore of Nova Zembla and 3 idols on land, are omitted-as they are in all the editions after the 1st. All the plates have numbers on them. In fact the two issues are identical with exception of the title & 3 following leaves which have been reprinted. The marginal notes on the 2 reprinted ff. of Hulsius' preface are principally in Roman type, not in italics as in the 1st issue. This reprinted title & 3 leaves are in fac simile from the Grenville copy which is unique, as far as has yet been discovered. Perhaps the reprint took place when it was determined to number the series. Few parts are numbered before 1602, viz. :

Part 1. 1st & 2d issue, 1598. No indication of series.
Part 3. 1st Ed. 1st issue, 1598.
Part 5. 1st Ed. 1599.
Part 5. 2d Ed. 1601.

Part 1. 2d Ed. 1599. 3d Ed. 1602. Part 2. 1st Ed. 1602. 2. 2d Ed. 1605.

Part 3. 2d Edition, 1602, reprint. Title Dritte Theil | Warhafftige Relation | &c. in 17 lines-resembling the 2d issue of 1st Ed. except that and is omitted in the 2d line. Levinum Hulsium are in larger Roman caps, and the 17th line is introduced, Secunda Editio | above vignette which is the same. Imprint in 2 lines Nürnberg | (not Nuremberg)-line across page.

Dedn 1 f sig. Aij-4 lines above coat of arms & 6 lines below, catchword dieweil Dated on verso in

German, In Franckfurt, den j Augusti 1602. The text of this ded'n differs (v. Asher). In it Hulsius speaks of 1500 copies of the 1st Ed. having been sold, so that he was obliged to make a re-issue. The title and ded'n. of this 2d Ed. differ from those of the previous issues, but the first 3 pages of Hulsius' preface are reprints of those of the 1st Ed. 2d issue. On the 4th page, there are variations and many additions and changes to the end. The whole preface seems to have been remodelled. De Veer's preface is omitted, and the whole voyage much abridged from 1st edn. Text page 1 (sig. Cij), and ends on page 121 with the word Ende, sig. Qiiij. The pagination skips from 80 to 89 (10 pages) so that really there are only 111 pages, but nothing is wanting as the catchwords and signatures show. 32 maps and plates, not counting the woodcut of Greenlander as in the 1st Ed. 2d issue. The plates are often misplaced-probably some ought to be omitted. The Berlin and Grenville copies have 33 plates, but many others examined have fewer. List of names at the end omitted and no colophon. Ende on last page. There are some errors in the pagination-reverse of 43 is 45 and next page 46, reverse of 46 is 46 again and then 48, 49, &c. Next page to 79 is 90, 96 is 97.

Part 3. 3rd Edn. 1612, reprint, fine large copy. Title-Dritter Theil | Warhafftiger Relation | &c. in 17 lines, of which the last is Tertia Editio-then Vignette. Imprint below in 3 lines-Gedruckt zu Franckfurt am Mayn bey Erasmo Kempffern In Verlegung Leuini Hulsij Wittibe (a short line across) den Jahr 1612.

Greenlander on recto of Biiij 8 prel. ff including title. De Veer's preface omitted. Then Voyage again much abridged: it begins on p. 1 and ends on recto of p. 95. Sig. C to Oiiij with Ende. The pages are numbered at the top in the centre-32 maps and plates as before, the same two plates omitted. The Grenville copy has 26 plates and others in the British Museum 33. Mr. Brown's 27. The plates are numbered-sometimes altered-and sometimes incorrect.

Part 3. 4th Edition, 1660. This is a reprint, page for page, of 3d Ed. and abridged like it from the previous editions-yet it differs from the 3d in contents of lines and paragraphs and position of signatures, Title, Dritter Theil | Warhafftiger Relation | &c. in 17 lines-the last is Quarta Editio. Then same vignette and imprint below in three lines Gedruckt zu Franckfurt am Mayn. In Verlegung | Christoff Le Blon | a black line across | Im Jahr 1660. |

Text of Voyage ff Ei to recto of Oiiij page 95 (C to O in 4s), with Ende on p. 95. Pages numbered at top in the centre-32 maps and plates, and the 1 woodcut as in 3d Ed. These are all numbered according to their new position. Page 49 is 89 (correct in 3d Ed.). On p. 95 of third Edn. the last line is gewolt gezogen ist. In this, the 4th, wolt gezogen ist. There are similar variations in almost every page showing a reprint.

PART IV. VOYAGE OF ULRICH SCHMIDEL TO SOUTH AMERICA.

Map, the portrait above described and 15 plates-for particulars, see German edn. below. In Hulsius' preface, he states that

this voyage was published previously in German. Camus, p. 86 says, it is only in H's Latin edition that this voyage can be read and understood.

Another fine copy of this ed. 1599, wanting the map and 10 plates, but with the portrait and first five plates-the first line of title has been obliterated (viz. Vierte Schiffart) so as to make the volume pass as a separate work not belonging to the series.--It is enumerated as 1st ed. 1599. 2d issue; but it cannot properly be called so.
