Small 8vo. fine copy in green morocco, gilt edges 1586 Dedicated to Sir Walter Raleigh by Basanier, who says that he had with the help of ‘ Monsieur Hakluit, homme certainement bien versé en l’histoire geographique ” drawn the suppressed narrative of Laudonniere into light from the tomb in which it had been lying for twenty years. In the same dedication he refers to Raleigh’s discovery of some islands and firm land between Florida and Cape Breton, named at present (in honour of your most virtuous and illustrious Queen) Virginea, where the Lord Greenvill has established your colony. One of the preliminary pieces of Latin verse, by I. Auratus, contains these lines : Kt que Regine nunc leta sub Elisabete Auspiciis, Waltere Ralegh, tibi terra reperta Nomine Virginia est, Regina 4 Virgine dicta Another which is by ‘‘ Richardus Hakluit Anglus ”? has— Olim magnanimis concessit Florida Gallis, VIRGINIA et sceptro nuper Elisa tuo. oF This precedes by two years the date of Hariot’s celebrated tract, and the Basanier above described is therefore THE FIRST PRINTED BOOK THAT CONTAINS THE NAME OF virGinia. 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 wassold at the recent Ashburnham sale, and was bought (against my competition) by an American agent for £390, 99 Bastian (A.)
