practiced at Little Giddings was that of book-binding. An 

 ingenious book-binder was entertained to instruct the whole 

 family in the art of binding, gilding, lettering, and pasting — 

 printing by the use of the rolling press." 



In "the Huth Library" catalogue, 1880, the following infor- 

 mation is given of the volume in which the map of Virginia was 

 published: " In the next year a third title was given to the book 

 as follows: Virginia in America, Richly Valued: More especially 

 the southerne Parts. With the Tendure of the Vine and silk- 

 W'Orms (etc.) Together with A compleat Map of the Country 

 from 35. to 41. Degrees of Latitude discovered, and the West 

 Sea. London, printed for John Stephenson 165 1." 



" This copy has the title to the issue of 165 1 inserted, and the 

 map by Goddard in two states, i. On thin paper, without the 

 oval portrait of Sir Francis Drake, and without some of the 

 names of places which are added in the other. The imprint is:

 the left-hand corner, many names of places filled in, and the 

 imprint varied, Doniina Virginia Farrer Collegit, etc."

 1840, pp. 163-167, entitled " An examination of Beauchamp 

 Plantagenet's Description of the province of New Albion. By 

 John Pennington. Philadelphia," 8vo, to this effect: " In the 

 same page mention is made of an old map, which the author says 

 is the only one in which he has found the Province of New 

 Albion admitted. It is " A Mapp of Virginia discovered to ye 

 Falls [not Hills, as misprinted by Mr. Pcnington,] and in latt: from 

 35 degr. and ^ neer Florida, to 41 deg. bounds of New Eng- 

 land. Are sold by I. Stephenson, at ye Sunn below Ludgate 

 165 1." Of this map we have seen a copy in the volume of New 

 England tracts at the British Museum, already mentioned. It 

 was published in one of them, entitled " The Discovery of New 

 Brittania," printed at London in 1651. At the corner is in- 

 scribed " John Farrer, Esq. Collegit," which our author mis-
