1650 1651 Original Map of Virginia, and measuring 12 inches by 8 inches on the leaf; collating with Lowndes, and perfect and complete, except, that the map of Nova Scotia is wanting. It is by far the most desirable copy we have ever met with, being absolutely free from any taint whatever of the mildew which disfigures and endangers very many copies, and is perfectly CLEAN, FRESH, and CRISP throughout. A copy was lately priced in an English catalogue at £100. Purchas says in his Preface that he has incorporated the substance of more than twelve bundred writers of Voyages and Travels. "His work," says Granger, in his Biogr. Hist. "is not only valuable for the various instruction and amusement contained in it, but is also very estimable on a national, and I may add, a religious account.' " "We owe to the zeal and vast erudition of this laborious man, one of the most celebrated collections of Voyages which has ever appeared, valuable alike for the abundance of its materials and its importance in the history of Early Discoveries, especially those of the English."- Biograpbie Universelle.
