Folio, 2 vols.

First edition, reprinted in 1744-8, with great alterations and additions. It
appears to have been got up in competition with Churchill's Collection,
but differs entirely from that work, being a history of all the known voyages
and travels, whereas Churchill's is a collection of some particular relations
and histories.

7 TRAITÉ DES FOUGERES de l'Amerique. Par le R. P. Charles Plumier, Minime de la province de France, et Botaniste du Roy dans les Isles de l'Amerique.

Paris.

Plumier's figures consist of little more than outlines, but being as large as nature, and well drawn by himself, produce a fine effect. Many hundred of his drawings remain still unpublished in the library of the Jardin des Plantes at Paris. Copies of many of these were obtained by the Earl of Bute, which afterwards passed into the hands of Sir Joseph Banks. Boerhaave had previously obtained copies of above 500, most of which were published by Burmann, in 1755-60. In 1824 the compiler of this work met with copies of about 500, very well executed, and a мs. volume of descriptions, which are now in the possession of A. B. Lambert, Esq. Vice President of the Linnean Society.

Quarto, pp. 96. London. This work contains little more than an account of the sermons preached by the author at the different places through which he travelled. George Keith is the same person who some years before defended the Quakers against Increase and Cotton Mather, but afterwards turned against the Quakers himself, and became a Baptist.

3 HISTOIRE DE LA DECOUVERTE et de la conquète du Perou, traduite de l'Espagnol d'Augustin de Zarate par S. D. C. 12mo. 2 vols.

Paris. Zarate's history of the discovery and conquest of Peru was first printed in Spanish at Antwerp in 1555, in small octavo, afterwards in 1577 at Seville, in folio, and in Barcia's Historiadores in 1749. It was translated into English by T. Nicholas, and printed in 1581, in small quarto, black letter. "Zarate's history, whether we attend to its matter or composition, is a

book of considerable merit, as he had opportunities to be well informed, 1706. and seems to have been inquisitive with respect to the manners and transactions of the Peruvians; great credit is due to his testimony." Robertson.

8vo.

"Funnell arrived in England before Captain Dampier, and seized on the opportunity to compose a relation of the voyage, a task for which he was ill qualified, and which he performed with disadvantage to the public. Funnell's narrative was published in 1707 by Knapton the bookseller, who being the publisher of three volumes of the voyages of Dampier, drawn up from his own manuscript journals, should have distinguished the difference, and not have obtruded Funnel's narrative into the same collection; but he was tempted by the favourable reception of the former volumes. The public were thus punished with a fourth volume to Dampier's Voyages, which contains not a word of Dampier's writing, but much that he disapproved. Funnell's narrative must now be allowed to retain its rank as fourth volume of Dampier's Voyages, as no other authentic account of that voyage has appeared, or can be expected to appear. The volume, however, would be better naturalized if it were made to include the following work." 6 CAPT. DAMPIER'S VINDICATION of his voyage in the ship St. George; with some small observations for the present on Mr. Funnell's chimerical relation. London.

In this vindication, which does not occupy more than a single sheet, Dampier points out several misrepresentations made by Funnell, and accuses him of having pirated from charts and papers with which he had been intrusted, but of which, Dampier says, he afterwards rendered a very slender account, pretending that some of them were lost." Burney. 7 *AN ANSWER TO CAPT.
