Note 794 — Chapter V · (continued 2)

It was reprinted at Raleigh in 1860. A work called The Natural History of North Carolina by John Brickell, M. D., Dublin, 1737, is Lawson’s book, with some transpositions, changes, and omissions. (Carter-Brown, iii. no. 560; Brinley, ii. no. 3,843.) This last book is sufficiently changed not to be considered a mere careless reprint of Lawson, as J. A. Allen points out in his Bibliog. of Cetacea and Sirenia, no. 208. Brickell was a physician settled in North Carolina. A German translation of Lawson by M. Vischer, Allerneuste Beschreibung der Provinz Carolina in West Indien, was printed at Hamburg in 1712; and again in 1722. (Sabin, iii. no. 10,957; v. no. 39,451, etc.; Carter-Brown, iii. nos. 119, 125, 158, 169, 233; Cooke, no. 1,409; Murphy, nos. 1,448-49; Barlow’s Rough List, no. 787; O’Callaghan, no. 1,349; J. A. Allen’s Bibliography of Cetacea, etc., nos. 165, 167, 170, 174; Field, Indian Bibliog., nos. 896-899; Brinley, ii. no. 3,873.) Quaritch (1885) priced the original 1709 edition at £5, and I find it also quoted at £6 6s. The German version repeats Lawson’s map, and also has one called “Louisiana am Fluss Mississippi.”
