This is a book of excessive rarity, in any condition. It was called the Second Voyage because Raleigh's own, performed in 1595, but only printed in the same year as this, was the First. Keymis had an early and tragic end; but his book forms part of the brilliant history of English seamanship in the days of Elizabeth.

32 leaves, with signatures A and A-E in fours, F in eight leaves. A large woodcut of Raleigh's arms occupies the reverse of the title, and faces the dedication to him. This dedication ends on the obverse of the third leaf; on the reverse and on the three succeeding pages is an address to the Fauourers of the Voyage for Guiana. On the reverse of leaf 5 begins a Carmen Epicum in English, which ends on the obverse of 8 with the signature G. C. On the reverse of leaf 8 is a set of Latin verses addressed by Keymis to Hariot. The closing lines of the Carmen Epicum are

Where new Britannia humblie kneeles to Heauen,

The world to her, and both at Her blest feete

In whom the circles of all Empire meet.

The MS. leaf of dedication in French to that princess precedes the frontispiece, and is
signed by the "Voyageur Catholique" in European characters as "De la boullaye-le

Besides the woodcut portrait which forms the frontispiece, a fine copperplate por-
trait is loosely inserted, representing the author at the age of twenty-nine.

This man was undoubtedly a great traveller and an acute observer, who took notes of his experiences in twenty or thirty different regions from India to Ireland. Among his illustrations there are design from the Hindu Pantheon.

The text is founded upon the relations of Munk and other Danish navigators, and
the map by Chapelain is based upon an old Dutch MS. map in the Mazarine library,
by Martin Arnoldszoon, the MS. map of Captain Munk, and Henry Hudson's map.
The book is anonymous, but it is known to have been written by Isaac de la
Peyrere who accompanied the French ambassador to Copenhagen in 1644-45.
