8. Title repeated exactly as given above. IN Latin. 



9. Plates i.-XXim., without any numbers engraved on the plates themselves. 

 Brunet was altogether unacquainted with the title in its first state as given 



above, and knew it only, it seems, from the Santander catalogue in its second state 

 with the words " Ad Invrrtis Rudolphs," which he quotes incorrectly as " Invirtis," 

 but even in the third issue the error " Invutis " remains uncorrected.

1. The title as above. It will be seen that the error in the ending of the word 

 Rudolphzw noted in the duplicate title in the first edition is here corrected by de- 

 facing imperfectly the two last letters, " us." 



2. The preliminary leaves and text are precisely the same as in the first edition ; 

 but the difference in the plates certainly marks this as a distinct edition, though it is 

 not so counted by Brunet. 



The impressions both of engraved title and plates are very inferior, and the fol- 

 lowing differences in the plates distinguish this as a re-issue: — 

 On plate 5 the number is rudely indicated in the left corner. 

 Plate 6 is marked on the gun carriage. 

 Plate 7 is marked in the left corner. 

 Plate 9 is very indistinctly marked in the right corner. 

 Plate 12 is marked in the right corner. 

 Plate 13, to the left of the centre. 

 Plate 16, in the right corner. 

 Plate 17, to the left of the centre. 

 Plate 18, to the right of the centre. 



The other plates are only to be distinguished as belonging to the first edition by 

 the brilliancy of the impressions.

1. The title is precisely the same as in the second edition except that at the 

 bottom of the title, on the right, are inserted some marks which appear like the letter 

 A and a Z reversed. 



2. On the reverse of the plate of shields the last word of line 23 reads " dictum " 

 instead of "dictu". 



3. " Ad Lectorem," the last word of the first line reads "In-" instead of "India?." 



4. " Americae retectio," there is no catchword. 



5. The ornamental woodcut on p. 1 is different to that described above. On 

 p. 10 the last word of line 13 is " in- " instead of " quum." 



6. The text is at first sight the same as in the first and second, and by Brunet, 

 who calls it the second edition, it is said to be "une repetition de la premiere," but 

 the marginal notes are here nearly all in italic letter. 



7. The plates are clearly marked on the copper 1-24, which effectually distin- 

 guishes them from the preceding editions, without any need of the peculiar distinc- 

 tions which are given by Brunet. The plates have been retouched throughout, and 

 the letterpress re-composed, but the differences from the earlier editions are gene- 

 rally very slight.
