=B.= FROBISHER’S VOYAGES.—George Beste’s _True Discourse of Discoverie by the North Weast_, 1578, covers the three voyages, and contains two maps,—one a mappemonde, the most significant since Mercator’s, and of which in part a fac-simile is here given. The other is of Frobisher’s Straits alone. Kohl, _Catalogue of Maps mentioned in Hakluyt_, p. 18, traces the authorship of these charts to James Beare, Frobisher’s principal surveyor. Compare it with Lok’s map, page 40, of the present volume. [Illustration: PART OF MAP IN BESTE’S “FROBISHER,” 1578.] Beste’s book is very rare, and copies are in the Lenox and Carter-Brown libraries. It is reprinted by Hakluyt. Beste’s general account may be supplemented by these special narratives:— _First Voyage._ A State-paper given by Collinson, “apparently by M. Lok.” The narrative by Christopher Hall, the master, in Hakluyt. See an examination of its results in _Contemporary Review_ (1873), xxi. 529, or _Eclectic Review_, iii. 243. _Second Voyage._ Dionysius Settle’s account, published separately in 1577. _Carter-Brown Catalogue_, no. 206, with fac-simile of title. It was reprinted by Mr. Carter-Brown (50 copies) in 1869. See notice by J. R. Bartlett in _N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg._, 1869, p. 363. This narrative is given in Hakluyt, vol. iii.; Pinkerton, vol. xii.; Brydge’s _Restituta_, 1814, vol. ii. Chippin’s French version of Settle, _La Navigation du Cap. Martin Forbisher_, was printed in 1578. It is in the Lenox and Carter-Brown libraries. It has reappeared at various dates, 1720, 1731, etc. From this French version of Settle was made the Latin, _De Martini Forbisseri Angli navigatione in regiones occidentis et septentrionis, narratio historica ex Gallico sermone in Latinum translata per D. Joan Tho. Freigium_, Norbergæ, 1580, 44 leaves. This is also in the Lenox, Carter-Brown, and Sparks (Cornell University) Collections. Cf. _Sunderland Catalogue_, ii. 4,650. Its value is from $10 to $30. It was reprinted with notes at Hamburg in 1675. Stevens, _Hist. Coll._, i. 33. Brinley, no. 28. Sabin, _Dictionary_, vii. 25,994. This edition is usually priced at $12 or $15. There are also German (1580, 1679, etc.) and Dutch (1599, 1663, 1678; in Aa’s Collection, 1706) editions. In the 1580 German edition is a woodcut of the natives brought to England. _Huth Catalogue_, ii. 556. _Third Voyage._ Thomas Ellis’s narrative, given by Hakluyt and Collinson. Edward Sellman’s account is also given by Collinson.
