 pression of the copperplate is not so bright. The real date of the edition is about 1608.

 has cross hatching introduced behind the shield. The initial " I " is smaller. The

 pages, " Breuis & fida Narratio De commodis incol. Virginias," is in smaller type 

 than in the first edition. The last line of page 34 is "anni 1588."

 for " Vivae," " authoritate " for " auctoritate," &c. The ornament in the centre con- 

 tains a grotesque mask.

 on the serpent's tail, &c, and "Jo." is added to the engraver's name.

 cut in wood.
