DE BR Y. 



Voyages to Title as in the first edition, with the exception that the name of Theodore de 

 AMERICA Bry is substituted for that of Feirabend. 

 in Latin. The only other difference between this edition and the first is, that the plate 



containing seven coats of arms has the background rilled in with scrolls and six 

 female figures, representing " Pax," " Veritas," &c. 



The plates are of course not so brilliant in impression. In the letterpress there 

 is no difference whatever.

1. Title, the same in every respect as in the second edition, except that the plate 

 is much worn. 



2. Dedicatory leaf. The coat of arms has been much worked on and darkened. 

 Beneath the plate are six lines of letterpress, instead of five. 



3. The recto of the third leaf, which in the previous editions has the seven coats 

 of arms, is here blank. The recto of the fourth leaf has fifteen lines instead of 

 fourteen. 



4. The title which follows p. 134 is here in letterpress. 



5. The page 137 has the Greek verses in very small characters. P. 141 has 

 thirty-two lines of text instead of twenty-six, and p. 143 has seventeen lines instead 

 of twenty-seven. P. 144 is blank. 



The impressions of the engravings are so inferior that any leaves inserted from 

 this edition to make up copies of the first or second must at once be detected by 

 that alone.
