The globe-makers immediately succeeding Molineaux were W. J. Blaeu (1571-1638) and his son John Blaeu, and their work is rare at this day. Mr. P. J. H. Baudet, in his _Leven en werken van W. J. Blaeu_, Utrecht, 1871, reports finding but two pair of his (Blaeu’s) globes (terrestrial and celestial) in Holland. His first editions bore date 1599, but he constantly corrected the copper plates, from which he struck the gores. Muller, of Amsterdam, offered a pair, in 1877, for five hundred Dutch florins, and in his _Books on America_, iii. 164, another at seven hundred and fifty florins. (_Catalogue_, 1877, no. 329.) A pair, dated 1606, was in the Stevens sale, 1881. _Hist. Coll._, i., no. 1335. I find no trace of the globe of Hondius, 1597, which gives the American discoveries up to that date. See _Davis’s Voyages_ (Hakluyt Society), p. 351. Hondius and Langeren were rivals. [Illustration: SKETCH FROM THE MOLINEAUX MAP. The Legends are as follows:— 1.

Hakluyt had spoken of the globe by Molineaux in his 1589 edition, but it was not got ready in time for his use. The map followed the globe, but was not issued till about 1600, the discoveries of Barentz in 1596 being the last indicated on it. It measures 16½ × 25 inches. Quaritch in 1875 advanced the theory that the globe of Molineaux was referred to in Shakespeare’s _Twelfth Night_ (act iii. sc. 2), as the “new map.” (Quaritch’s 1879 _Catalogue_, no. 321, book no. 11919),—a theory made applicable to the map and sustained by C. H. Coote in 1878, in _Shakespeare’s “new map” in Twelfth Night_ (also in _Transactions_ of the New Shakspere Society, 1877-79, i. 88-100), and reasserted in the Hakluyt Society’s edition of _Davis’s Voyages_, p. lxxxv. Henry Stevens (_Hist. Coll._ i. 200), however, is inclined to refer Shakespeare’s reference (“the new map
