1. Letterpress title, within the same architectural border as the Latin edition. 

 In this impression, the word " Architectura" does not appear in the upper compart- 

 ment. This is not an evidence of an early state of the plate, as it can be seen that 

 a slip of paper had been placed there to prevent the impression of the word. 



2. " An den gunstigen Leser ", 1 leaf. 



3. Text, pp. 1-55. At p. 8 is the view of St. Helena, as in part 3 ; and at p. 16 the 

 view of Mozambique, as in part 2 ; but it is probable that neither of them belong here.

There is another copy of this part in the library, which, so far as the text is 

 concerned, is precisely the same ; but the titles and plates show the following dif- 

 ferences: — 



1. The letterpress of the title is printed in the centre of an engraved architectural 

 design, which is not to be found in any other of the parts. On each side is a female 

 figure ; beneath that on the right, but in a separate compartment, is inscribed, 

 " Praemivm virtvtis honos ; " beneath that on the left, " Fama virtvtis stimvlvs." 



2. A second title is inserted, the engraved border of which is precisely the same 

 as that described in the first edition, except that it has the word "Architectura " in 

 the upper compartment. 



3. The letterpress beneath the plates is letter for letter the same, but the plates 

 themselves present the following differences : — 



a. Plate m. is a copy not reversed. There are six trees in the right upper 

 corner. In the original there are only four. 



b. Plate IV. is a reversed copy. The ships are on the left. 



c. „ vi. is a reversed copy. The town is on the left. 



d. „ vii. is a reversed copy. The land is on the left. 



e. „ X. is a reversed copy. The sea is on the left. 



f. Plate xii. is a copy not reversed, without the words " Festung Nassau " over 

 the fort.
