This volume contains an interesting account of the Court of Queen Elizabeth, and the manners and customs of London.

"Honest Paul Hentzner sets down the peculiarities of
an Englishman, with the same accuracy that Captain

Hall describes the new found inhabitants of the Loo Choo
Islands. What appeared to him was instantly put down
as it occurred, with the scrupulous fidelity of a trades-
man taking stock. All is fresh to him, and the result is,
that the description which he gives comes as fresh upon
us."-Retrospective Review.

Asher in his Essay on Hulsius says, he has not been able to meet with this edition of Schmidel, and that none of the different parts of Hulsius' Collection of Travels is of more consequence than this for the understanding of De Bry. The plates in this volume are quite different from those of De Bry, some of them appear to have been engraved from drawings taken on the spot, whilst those of De Bry are made from mere fancy.
