Note 191 — Part II. THE EARLY DESCRIPTIONS OF AMERICA AND COLLECTIVE ACCOUNTS OF THE EARLY VOYAGES THERETO.
Reading edition
Cf. also Camus, Mémoire sur De Bry, p. 8; Humboldt, Examen critique; Hallam, Literature of Europe; Harrisse, Bibl. Amer. Vet., no. 304; Brunet, vol. iv. col. 1100; Carter-Brown, vol. i. no. 195 Clarke’s Maritime Discovery, p. x, where Tiraboschi’s account of Ramusio is translated; and H. H. Bancroft, Mexico, i. 282. Ternaux mentions a second edition in 1564; but Harrisse could find no evidence of it (Bibl. Amer. Vet., p. xxxiii). There was a well-known second edition of the third volume in 1565 (differing in title only from the 1556 edition), which, with a first volume of 1588 and a second volume of 1583, is thought to make up the most desirable copy; though there are some qualifications in the case, since the 1606 edition of the third volume is really more complete.
