Note 8 — INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND EDITION.
Reading edition
The question whether Barendsz went north along the west or along the east coast of Spitsbergen, has been fully treated by Mr. P. A. Tiele, archivaris at Leyden, who has also demonstrated that the ship’s track, laid down in the chart of J. Hondius, “Tabula Geographica” of the year 1598,8 has been printed after a drawing of William Barendsz himself.
