=1589.= Hakluyt gave out the first edition of his _Principall Navigations_. Copies are at present worth from £5 to £10, according to condition; and we have noted the following: Harvard College, Brinley (no. 33), Carter-Brown (no. 384), Charles Deane, Long Island Historical Society, Field (_Ind. Bibliog._ no. 631), Crowninshield (_Catalogue_, no. 487), etc. The catalogues usually note the six suppressed leaves of Drake’s voyage when present. Hakluyt, at the end of his preface, speaks of “The comming out of a very large and most exact terestriall Globe, collected and reformed according to the newest, secretest, and latest discoveries, ... composed by Mr. Emmerie Mollineaux, of Lambeth, a rare gentleman in his profession.” In place of this Molineaux map, there sometimes appears, at p. 597, what Hakluyt calls “One of the best general mappes of the world,” which is a recut plate of one in Ortelius’s Atlas; and in other copies instead we find another edition of the same, which is also found in the English translation of Linschoten. Sabin says he has sometimes found a woodcut of Gilbert’s map substituted. The Ortelius map is reproduced in chapter i. of the present volume. =1591.= Job Hortop’s _Rare Travales of an Englishman_, published in London. Bohn’s _Lowndes_, p. 1124. There is a copy in the British Museum. Hortop was one of Ingram’s companions, and after being captured and confined in Mexico, reached England after very many years’ absence. =1595.= John Davis published his _Worlde’s Hydrographical Descriptions_, which in parts reiterates the views of Gilbert’s _Discourse_. The only copies known are in the Grenville Library (British Museum) and Lenox Library, New York. It is reprinted in the Hakluyt Society’s edition of _Davis’s Voyages_, p. 191, and in the 1812 edition of Hakluyt’s _Principall Navigations_. =1596.= A third edition of Frampton’s _Joyfull Newes_. A fine copy is worth about three guineas. See _Carter-Brown Catalogue_, no. 497. =1596.= Second edition of Nicholas’s translation of Gomara. _Brinley Catalogue_, nos. 32 and 5309; Sabin, _Dictionary_, 27752; Field, _Ind. Bibl._ no. 611; _Carter-Brown Catalogue_, no. 499. [Illustration] =1598.= Wolfe, of London, published an English translation, by William Philip, of Linschoten’s _Discours of Voyages into y^e Easte and West Indies, in foure Bookes_, with a dedication to Sir Julius Cæsar, Judge of the High Court of Admiralty. The preface adds: “Which Booke being commended by Maister Richard Hackluyt, a man that laboureth greatly to advance our English Name and Nativity, the Printer thought good to cause the same to bee translated into the English Tongue.” The original became a very popular book on the Continent. The maps of American interest are those of the World, of the Antilles, and of South America. The description of America begins on p. 216. _Carter-Brown Catalogue_, i. no. 527; _Crowninshield Catalogue_, no. 625; Rich (1832), no. 84, prices a copy at £8 8_s._ [Illustration]
