THE DECADES of the newe worlde or west India, Conteynyng the nauigations and conquestes of the Spanyardes. . Wryten in the Latine tounge. by Peter Martyr, of Angleria, and translated into Englysshe by Rycharde Eden, LONDINI, In ædibus Guilhelmi Powell, ANNO. 1555, [with a number of other works extracted and translated so as to form the First English Collection of Voyages, arranged by Eden]. Small 4to. hf. russia 1555 16 0 0 THIS BOOK IS EXTREMELY RARE. The preliminary leaves are as follows: title, 1 leaf; table of the contents of leaves 149-361 (i.e. of the portion not included in the Decades) 2 leaves; The interpretacion of certeyne woordes, 1 leaf; dedication in Latin to Philip and Mary, 4 leaves (of which the fourth is wanting here); Eden to the Reader, 29 pp; Epistle of Peter Martyr, 3 pp. Then the text follows in signatures A-ZZZz in fours; and AAAAa in 6 leaves (of which the first, the second, and the sixth are wanting here). Thus the book ought to contain in the whole 398 leaves, of which we have here 394. The Huth catalogue mentions rather vaguely a duplicate leaf, Iiii ij, for which there would certainly be no place in the sheets marked IIIi, or IIi. There is no other book which gives a collation: even Mr. Hazlitt's Collectanea leave the work unmentioned. The material contents of the volume are as follows: 1. Decades I-III of Peter Martyr, leaves foliated 1-166. 2. The Bull of Alexander VI, 1493 Latin and English, 167-173. 5. Prices of precious stones, etc. from the Paesi, 233-239. 6. Strife with regard to the Moluccas, from Lopez de Gomara, 240-244. 7. On the Pole Antartike, from Vespucci and Corsali, 244-248. 8. Of Moscovie and Cathay from Butrigarius, and Sebastian Cabot, 249-263. 9. Of the North regions, from Ziegler, 263-277. 10. Paulus Iovius on Moscovia, 277-306. 11. Letters of Edward VI, 306-309. 12. Notable things touchyng the Indies, from Lopez de Gomara, 309-325. 13. Biringuccio on Metals, 325-342. 14. Viages from England to Guinea, 1553-54, 343-359. 15. Maners of finding Longitude, 360-61.

In its first issue of 1555 it had come into the world as the first English Collection of Voyages. In 1577 it was re-edited by Willes with the following additions: Fourth Decade of Peter Martyr. Instructions by Willes for Frobisher, then starting on his voyage for the discovery of the Northwest Passage, addressed to the Countess of Warwick, by whom Frobisher Reports on China and Japan (chiefly drawn from the Jesuit Letters). 24 leaves. Vartema's Navigation and Voyages translated by Eden in 1576. 68 leaves. 12 leaves. Otherwise the contents of the work agree with those of the 1555 edition, save that some extracts from Corsali, Cadamasto, and Biringuccio were omitted, as well as a translation of Vespucci's Latin letter. Thus the volume comprises: Peter Martyr, Decades 1-4; Oviedo's Sumario; Notable Things (from Gomara); the Instructions and Reports mentioned above; Of the North East Frostie Seas, with Edward VI's letter; Two English Voyages to Guinea; Accounts of Persia, and Vartema's Travels, as mentioned above: Prices and weights and measures in the east: Magellan's Voyage; Strife for the Moluccas, out of Gomara; the Papal Bull of 1493; Conquest of Mexico from the Decades V-VIII, mentioned above. Besides these, there are a preliminary Epistle and a Preface by Willes, as well as Certayne Preambles by Eden which have considerable interest. 432 [EDEN (William) afterwards Lord Auckland.] The History of New Holland from its first discovery in 1616 to the present time, with a description of Botany Bay, also.. an introductory discourse on Banishment by..
