It is now extremely rare. 8 preliminary leaves; 123 numbered leaves, and 1 unnumbered; with signatures a and A-P in eights, Q in four leaves. This tragical story of the Huguenot attempt to found a colony in Florida forms the second narrative of De Bry's Grand Voyages. Hakluyt who helped to produce this French original, brought out an English translation of it the following year. That English translation is very rare: a copy of it was sold at the recent Ashburnham sale, and was bought (against my competition) by an American agent for £390. : 99 BASTIAN (A.)
