[424] This map embraces the country from Newfoundland to Florida, showing a part of the Gulf of Mexico. It is found in a collection of eleven beautifully executed maps, bound in one large volume, preserved in the British Museum. [Cf. Kohl’s Maps, Charts, etc., mentioned in Hakluyt, 1857, p. 16; and Collinson’s Frobisher’s Voyages, published by the Hakluyt Society.—Ed.] See Verrazano the Explorer, New York, 1880, p. 56. This map shows the Euripi of Nicholas of Lynn. See Inventio Fortunata.
[425] The Private Diary of John Dee, edited by Halliwell, and published by the Camden Society, 1842, P. 5. [This diary is written on the margins of old almanacs, which were discovered in the Ashmolean Museum. Halliwell calls Disraeli’s account of Dee, in his Amenities of Literature, correct and able. Winsor’s Halliwelliana, p. 5.—Ed.]
[426] [It measures 3¾ by 2¼ inches; and is carefully drawn on vellum, and accompanied by another, sketchily drawn, of the same date. Catalogue of MS. Maps, etc., in the British Museum, 1844, i. 30.—Ed.]
[427] Dee’s Diary, p. 16, and Hakluyt, iii.
[428] [We can only regret that Gilbert’s “cardes and plats that were drawn with the due gradation of the harbours, bayes, and capes, did perish with the admirall.” Haies in Hakluyt.—Ed.]
[429] See reproduction in the Historical and Geographical Notes of Henry Stevens, 1869, and another in chapter i. of the present volume. [A fac-simile has also been separately issued in London, worth about thirty shillings. The map, which is a considerable advance on earlier maps and shows the English tracks down to about 1584, is dedicated to Hakluyt by F. G. (initials which have so far concealed the true name), and is so rarely found in copies that its presence more than doubles the value of the book, which without it may be put at eight guineas. Fifty years ago a good copy with a genuine map was not worth more than four guineas,—now twenty guineas. Rich’s Catalogue, 1632, No. 68. The Carter-Brown Catalogue, No. 370, does not show the map.—Ed.]
[430] Atlas zur Entdeckungsgeschichte Amerikas, by Kunstmann and others, Munich, 1859, Plate xiii. [The original is said, in Markham’s Davis’s Voyages, p. 361, to be preserved in Dudley’s own copy of the Arcano del Mare, at Florence. The large map of 1593 in Historiarum Indicarum Libri xvi. Maffeii, also gives place to Norumbega; as does Wytfliet’s edition of Ptolemy, 1597. The Speculum Orbis-terrarum of Cornelius de Judaeis, published at Antwerp, 1593, has a map, “Americæ pars borealis, Florida, Baccalaos, Canada, Corterealis.” The German edition of Acosta, 1598, gives a map of Norumbega and Virginia, making them continuous. Carter-Brown Catalogue, nos. 517, 520.—Ed.]
[431] Preserved in the Library of the Middle Temple. A tracing is in possession of the writer, from which a sketch of a section is given in note E, following this chapter.
