 Evora, 1557. Pre-Linn. 1657.1 



This is the very rare first ed. Pre-Linnsean 

 eds. have appeared in English, 1609 & 1686; 

 French, 1685; Dutch, 1706. The first English 

 version is by Richard Hakluyt and is entitled : 



Virginia richly valued, by the 



description of the mainland of Florida, 

 her next neighbor. London, 1609. 



Pre-Linn. 1609.1 



French has reproduced this work in his "His- 

 torical Collections of Louisiana," 1850, pt. ii. 

 It may also be found in a Hakluyt Society re- 

 print, 1851. For a more modern version, see: 



"Narratives of the career of Hernando de 

 Soto in the conquest of Florida as told by a 

 Knight of Elvas." Translated by Buckingham 

 Smith, New York, 1866. 



For observations on the fishes referred to 

 therein, see Gill, T. N., 1866.2. 



The "Gentleman of Elvas" was undoubtedly 

 one of the eight Portuguese adventurers from 

 Elvas who accompanied De Soto to Florida, 

 and one of the four who escaped with their lives.
