1617. PURCHAS, S. Of King lames bis Newland, alias, Greenland : And. Of The WlialiB 

 And Whale-Fishing. <^Pnrchas his Pilgrimage, or Bdations of the World 4" '^e 

 Religions observed in al Jges 4- FVaces, etc., 3d ed., 1617, pp. 920-924. 



Of special interest as containing the earliest English, and the first distinct, description of 

 the Greenland Whale (Balcena myslicetus) — detailed, exceedingly quaint, and in the main 

 quite correct. It was derived from information furnished by Master Thomas Sherwin, based 

 on his experiences in whaling in the year 1611. [46.] 



1622. Whitbourne, E. A | Discovrse | and Discovery . of Nevv-fovndland, with | 

 many reasons to prooue how worthy and bene- | ficiall a Plantation may there 

 he made, after a far | better manner than now it is. | Together with the lay- 

 ing j open of certaine enormities | and abuses committed by some that trade 

 to that I Countrey, and the meanes laide downe for j reformation thereof. | 

 Written by Captaine Eichard Whitbourne of | Exmouth, in the County of 

 Deuon, and pub- | lished by Authority, j As also, an Inuitation : and likewise 

 certaine Letters sent | from that Countrey ; which are printed in the | latter

 1622. sm. 4". 11. 11, pp. 1-107, 11. 2^, pp. 1-15. 



Eefercnce to cod-fishing and whale-fishing (pp. 11-13) as carried on at the Grand Banks by 

 the Biscaynors in 1615. 



The work was first published in 1620, -without the appendix of the present edition ; there 

 is also a later (1623) edition, neither of which have I seen. The 1622 ed. seems to be the same 

 as the ed. of 1620, so far as the body of the work is concerned, to which there is added, besides 

 the above-mentioned appendix, 2 preliminary leaves, containing also new matter. [47.]
