And after the advertisement two other maps:

"America noviter delineata,"

"Das Norder Theil des Lands Brasilien."

This 14th German part contains sections 8 to 15, which are in Latin in the 13th volume of the Great Voyages in that language, printed only in 1634.

This volume contains an abridgement of the nine first parts of the Great Voyages, and some other relations already published.

BRY. Historia Antipodum, Newe Welt and Americanische Historien. Inhaltend Beschreibungen aller West-Indianischen Landschafften, Insulen, etc., Durch Johan Ludwig Gottfriedt; mit Landtafeln Kupfferstucken, etc. Durch Mattheum Merian, Buchhändlern und Kunst-Stechern zu Frankfurt am Mayne, anno 1631. 3 pts. in 1 vol., folio.

An abridgement of the twelve first parts of the German text of the Great Voyages published by the de Bry. The two first parts form, together, pp. 562, and have, moreover, an engraved frontispiece, a printed title, and 4 preliminary leaves for the dedicatory epistle and the preface; the third part has only 72 pages. The second edition, printed at Frankfort, in 1665, contains some additions.

This work should not be confounded with the three parts of the Great Voyages (the 3d, 4th, and 9th), which, in the editions issued by Math. Merian in 1630, 1644, and 1633, also have the title, "Historia Antipodum.'

APPENDIX.

At the end of the volume which contains the article de Bry, Brunet prints a letter received from M. Sobolewski after that article was printed.

PARIS, I October, 1860.

I am proud, Monsieur, to be cited by you, and I regret that I did not arrive in Paris soon enough to communicate to you some observations on the Great and the Small Voyages of De Bry in German, while you were printing your notice. You have here only a single copy, by no means complete, and this has prevented your being as exact and as explicit in regard to the German collection as you are for the Latin. As to the latter, your notice would leave nothing to be desired if you had not accepted, with too much confidence, all that I had the honor to say to you in a former letter. Unhappily I have led you into error in regard to the first part of the Great Voyages (col. 1315),

and I hasten to set right what I then advanced; at Moscow I had not the means of verifying some notes formerly taken on a journey.

There are only two impressions of the original edition (the one which has large numbers printed above the plates). I had thought that there were three varieties of the explanations of plates III, VIII, and x. It was a mistake; there are only two. On the other hand, I had forgotten to tell you that there were also two varieties of the explanation of plate xx11; this should be added to the table which you give in col. 1316. This had escaped MM. De Bure.

There are also two impressions of the second edition of this part (the one with small characters printed above the plates), which reproduce, line by line, — but only for pp. 7-34 of the text, the two impressions of the original edition. You have indicated perfectly, at the foot of col. 1313, the differences which distinguish the preliminary and supplementary matter of this second edition from the same sheets of the original edition; as to the explanations of the plates, it is again I that have led you into error. The two impressions of the second edition do not reproduce, as you say, following me, the two impressions of the first, although the attempt was made for a few plates. In general the explanations with the small figures are differently arranged from those with the large figures, and are only to be met with in one impression, excepting a single plate, the xxiid. I have a copy where the first line ends, not as usually with "principum se," but with "sepulturam," and contains 18 lines in place of 20. It may be that some other differences have escaped me, in consequence of my not having had occasion to notice them; for this reason I subjoin a table, which rectifies and completes your two tables, and gives to amateurs the means of verifying and establishing such discoveries as are still possible. As to what Santander says, it is erroneous merely because he did not distinctly make up his mind what should be called first and second editions. For my part, I understand by first edition either of the two impressions with large numbers, and by second edition either of the two impressions with small figures (see the remarks after the following table). After having consulted a considerable number of copies, which had remained in their ancient bindings, I am convinced that the two impressions of the first edition are always to be found mingled, whether the title has "Theodor Feirabendi" or "Theodori Feyrabendii," and that it is impossible to decide the question of priority.

Table to be substituted for those of columns 1316 and 1317.

The first column gives the number of the plates.

The second column gives the number of the lines of explanation below the plate, and the last word of the first line of one of the impressions of the edition with large

numbers. Measure of this larger number

The third column gives the same number and the same word for the other impres

sion with large numbers

The fourth column marks in the same way the edition with small numbers. Measure of this smaller number

N. B. To make the differences in the ends of the lines of the different editions more conspicuous, we have printed here several words in Italics, although these words are in Roman in the editions which we have described.

Collection of the de Bry, in German.

you

Col. 1344. The copy in the Bibliothèque impériale, the only one, I believe, that have at Paris, is very defective. It is, therefore, not astonishing that in using mine, which is perfectly complete, I find several corrections to be made in your article. I will begin by remarking that the titles of the first parts of the Great Voyages in German are, in general, printed separately and pasted on the frontispieces engraved for the Latin edition; but they are sometimes found printed on frontispieces where the legend had been left blank.

Col. 1345-46. First part, second and third editions. The title which precedes the engravings is entirely printed from type, while in this it is printed in an engraved cartouch.

Col. 1346. Second part, second edition. I add, as distinctive marks of this edition, that the privilege is dated 20 August 1603, and that the text is numbered in Arabic figures 1-42, instead of in Roman numerals 1-XLII, as in the first edition. Col. 1347. Third part. The two editions of this part resemble one another perfectly in type and paper, but there are some differences which might easily escape the collater, and are worth while to note: In the first edition the catch-word of p. 7 is "wilden," with a small w, and the word "Referirt" on the second line of p. 285 has a capital R, but the second has "Wilden," with a capital W, and "referirt," with a small r. If p. 136 is wrongly numbered in some copies, it is from an accident during the printing, as I have satisfied myself, and this error is very often to be found corrected. Where the map is dated 1624, it is because, to supply one wanting in that copy, one was taken from a later edition, as this map is to be found repeated in other parts printed later. Col. 1348. Fourth part, first edition. The last plate is numbered xxIII, and not xxiv. Col. 1349. Sixth part, first edition. The text has 62 leaves and not 62 pages; this is a misprint in your account.

Seventh part. The last seven lines of your col. 1349 and the first seven of col. 1350, contain some errors borrowed from the account given by Weigel, who had apparently used a copy in which the binder had introduced some plates not belonging there. To understand this, it should be known that the three plates of the seventh part of the Great Voyages in German were published at first at the end of the "Additamentum " of the eight part, in 1600, as was done in the Latin edition; they there form Nos. 1, II, III, and are preceded by the following general title, "Folgen nun die Figuren deren etliche ins siebende Theil etliche ins achte jetzo new auffs zierlichste zugericht vnd an Tag geben durch Dieterich de Bry, seligen Erben. Gedruckt zu Francfort am Meyn durch Matthæum Becker, MDC.;" but afterward, when a second

...

edition of the eighth part was published in 1624, with illustrations in the text and the "Additamentum" included in the text, as there was no place for these plates, they were struck off again with a title printed ad hoc, beginning, "Folgen nun die Figuren, welche ins siebende Theil, zur beschreibung der Reysen Ulrich Schmids von Straubingen gehören," and ending with, "Francfurt, in Verlegung Joannis Theodori de Bry S. Erben, M. DC. XXIV." This title and these three engravings, by themselves, ought only to be met with, therefore, in the copies of the collection where the eighth part is of the first edition, and where the "Additamentum" of 1600 is to be found; while they are duplicates in those where the eighth part is of the second edition. The impression of 1624 is distinguished from that of 1600, as you remark further on, by the words, "America siebender Theil," below the explanation of each engraving. No second edition of this part is known, but a third edition is known; it is remarkable that the case is the same with the Latin text of this part.

Col. 1350. Eighth part, first edition. You reproduce a slight inaccuracy of Weigel, when you say that the notice to the reader in regard to another voyage to Guiana extends from p. I to p. 30. The notice of this second voyage of Raleigh to Guiana occupies pp. 1 and 2; the text of the voyage, pp. 3-30.

The text of the second edition of the eighth part contains all that is in the first edition and the "Additamentum," no more, no less, but arranged in a better order. As to the plates, those which are at pp. 15, 76, 116, are not in the first edition; plate XII of the "Additamentum" of 1600 is wholly wanting, as well as plates 1, 11, 111, for which, as I have said above, there was no longer any place.

Col. 1352. Tenth part. The vignette of the title is different in some copies; the case is the same in the Latin edition.

Except in the points that I have mentioned, I find everything perfectly exact and precise. The differences between the plates of the different editions might be pointed out, especially for the Small Voyages in German, but this could be done only by the aid of engravings, which would occupy too much space, and, moreover, would only interest the booksellers and the amateurs in Germany, of whom you are, Monsieur, the guide and the providence.

Receive my thanks for the honor you have done me in associating my name with yours, as well as the assurance of my high and sincere consideration.
