[168] Hakluyt, vol. iii., or quarto edition, vol. iv.; Harris, vol. i.; Oxford, vol. ii. Hakluyt also gives the relation of Nuna da Silva, a Portuguese pilot whom Drake had captured, and who made his report to the Viceroy of Spain, and John Winter’s account of his companionship with Drake. Vaux collates his text with a manuscript preserved in the British Museum, which may have been the collection of Fletcher’s notes which the compiler of The World Encompassed used. Several narratives are also in the Callender collection of Voyages, Edinburgh, 1766. There are German versions in Gottfried and Vander Aa (1727, vol. xviii.), Cornelius Claesz (1598, 1603), etc. Appended to the Begin en Voortgangh (1645 and 1646) of Isaac Commelin, of Amsterdam, is sometimes a Dutch narrative of the voyages of Candish, Drake, and Hawkins, “described by one of the fleet,” and with an imprint of 1644, which is very rare. Frederic Muller says, in his Books on America, 1872 (no. 1,871), that he had never seen but the one then described, and another, sold to Stevens in 1867.
A French edition, Le Voyage de François Drack alentour du Monde, was originally issued in Paris in 1613, and is now scarce, and sometimes priced at 300 francs. There were other editions, with additions, in 1627 (Sabin, vol. v. no. 23,845), 1631, 1641, 1690. Bohn’s Lowndes, p. 668. The Dedicatory Epistle is signed F. de Lorrencourt. Leclerc, Bibliotheca Americana, no. 2,743. The title of the later edition runs: Le Voyage curieux faict autour du Monde, etc. Muller’s Books on America (1877), no. 973. [This curious book affects in the dedication to be an original narrative: “I dedicate it to you, Monsieur, because you gave it to me, telling me that you received it from one of your subjects of Courtomer, who had made the voyage with this gentleman.” On examination, however, it proves that the narrative is a rough translation, not very accurate, and generally abridged from that in Hakluyt: generally, but not always; for in a few instances details of local color are added, which I think important, and which appear, so far as I know, in no other narrative. With no apparent purpose but to make the book bigger, a second part is added, entitled Seconde Partie des Singvlaritez remarquees aux isles et terres fermes du Midy et des Indes Orientales: par l’Illustre Seigneur et Chevalier Francois Drach, Admiral d’ Angleterre. It is a botch of travels in Africa, the Indian Ocean, and America, in places mostly which Drake never saw.—E. E. H.]
[169] Carter-Brown Catalogue, i. 374; Brinley Catalogue, no. 20; Leclerc, Bibliotheca Americana (205 francs); Huth Catalogue, ii. 442. Leclerc, no. 2,744, prices the maps alone at 400 francs; and Quaritch, in 1877, advertised them for £50. The Lenox Library has a copy with the four maps, and a second copy with different vignettes on the title.
[170] Quaritch prices a copy at £10 10s.; Stevens, Nuggets, puts one at £5 15s. 6d. Hakluyt’s third volume (1600) gives the narrative. In some copies of Hakluyt’s volume of 1589 there is found, before page 644, a broadside, giving a journal from Drake’s log-book, Sept. 14, 1585, to July 22, 1586. (Sabin, vi. 543.) It was on this voyage that Drake on his return visited the new settlement in Virginia, as mentioned in chap. iv. of the present volume.
[171] Quaritch, in 1877, claimed that only three copies of this map were known, and only four or five complete sets of the other four are known. The mappemonde is in the Grenville copy, and was in a copy possessed by Rodd, the London dealer, fifty years ago. Baptista B. (or Boazio) seems to have been the designer or engraver. There is also a copy of this fifth map in the Lenox Library.
[172] The Huth Catalogue also gives all five maps to the first edition (52 pages); says the errata are corrected in the second edition, and the words “with geographical mappes,” etc., are left out of the title; while for the third edition (copy in the King’s Library, in the British Museum) a smaller type is used, contracting it to 37 pages. An edition of 1596 is sometimes cited, but it is doubtful if such exists. Lowndes mentions a somewhat doubtful French edition of the same year.

[174] Bare mention may, however, be made of the English accounts, A true coppie of a Discourse, London, 1589, which has been reprinted by Collier, and Robert Leng’s Sir Francis Drake’s valuable Service done against the Spaniards, in the Camden Society’s Miscellanies, vol. v., and the Latin account, printed at Frankfort, 1590, and a German one at Munich, the same year. Stevens’s Bibliotheca Historica (1870), no. 597; Bohn’s Lowndes, p. 668.
[175] This name is the Spanish rendering of John Hawkins; and Draque and Aquines figure also in Torres’ Relacion de los servicios de Sotomayor, Madrid, 1620. Rich (1832), no. 156.
[176] Mr. J. P. Collier printed a small (one hundred copies) fac-simile edition of the 1596 book; but most of the copies were destroyed by fire. A full Relation of this voyage, dated 1652, was included in the 1653 edition of Sir Francis Drake Revived, and is sometimes found separately; Carter-Brown Catalogue, ii. 753.
