72 [MARTYR (PETER)] The HISTORY of TRAUAYLE in the WEST and 
 EAST INDIES, and other countreys lying eyther way, towarde the fruitfull and 
 ryche Moluccaes. As Moscouia, Persia, Arabia, Syria, Aegypte, Ethiopia, 
 Guinea, China in Cathayo and Giapan. With a Discourse of the Northwest 
 Passage. Gathered in parte, and done into Englyshe by Richard Eden, newly 
 set in order, augmented, and finished by Richarde Willes. 
 
 Printed in TB lack XettCV, with woodcut of polar stars on p. 436, 
 small 4to, new red morocco extra, broad gilt borders on sides {some slight stains 
 at beginning and end , otherwise a fine and large copy measuring 1\ by 5 inches), 
 rare, £ 125 . Richarde Jugge , 1577 
 
 Short Title Catalogue, No. 649. 
 
 I he work is divided into four parts representing the four corners of the world into which 
 explorers had travelled. The first part contains four decades by Peter Martyr dealing 
 with the voyages of Columbus, Alfonsius, Pinzoni and others to America and the 
 West Indies, Darien, Mexico and Peru etc. 
 
 The second part deals with Frobisher’s voyage to the Moluccas, China and Japan; the 
 
 thud, with Northern Europe and Asia; and the fourth with Guinea and Africa. There 
 
 
 
 is a chapter describing Columbus's difficulty in finding a patron for his voyage to the 
 
 New World.

 “Eden was the first Englishman who undertook to present in a collective form the astonish- 
 ing results of that spirit of maritime enterprise which had been everywhere awakened by 
 
 the discovery of America; nor was he a mere compiler: we are indebted to him for several 
 voyages ot great curiosity and value. He is not exempt from error, but in point of learning, 
 accuracy, and integrity is certainly superior to Hakluyt . . .” — Rich's Bihl. Amer. Nova.

 This book which is often catalogued under the name of its original compiler, Richard Eden, is 
 the first English collection of voyages and one of the most important works in English geo- 
 graphical literature. It was first published in 1555, but the 1577 edition is almost a different book, so 
 much new material has been added which is not to be found in the first edition. Of course, the greater 
 part still consists of Peter Martyr’s Decades I-III and Oviedo’s History of the West Indies. The additions 
 are Martyr’s Fourth Decade, the very important Instructions by Richard Willes for Frobisher’s forth- 
 coming voyage for the discovery of the Northwest Passage, several Jesuit reports from China and 
 Japan, and accounts of Persia sent by English merchants of the 1560’s, Varthema’s Voyages translated 
 by Eden in 1576, just before his death, and Willes’ abridgement of Peter Martyr’s Decades V-VIII, 
 which tell of Cortes’ conquest of Mexico. 
 
 An extremely fine copy in its almost untouched original binding. Alexander Pitfield who 
 owned this volume in 1712 is curiously omitted in the DNB. He is, however, not unknown to us. 
 In 1688 he translated Perrault’s Memoirs for a Natural History of Animals- STC 649. Sabin 1562. Church
