SEVERAL OF THE PARTS ARE THE FIRST EDITIONS.

This important Collection should not be regarded merely as a book of curiosity, on account of the number of its engravings, and its extreme rarity. These Histories of Voyages and Travels made several centuries back, in countries a large part of which are even now imperfectly known, contain, in the midst of a multitude of fabulous details, very interesting particulars and valuable information, of which they are the primitive, and in some instances the only source. De Brys' Collection is especially useful in the present day, for the purpose of instituting comparison between his narratives and those of modern travellers to the same countries; and many of his statements formerly reputed fabulous or exaggerated, have been confirmed by more recent accounts.-Bibliotheca Grenvilliana, vol. I, p. 184.
