Statement of Responsibility
(altRepGroup="00")
- Collected and translated from most authentick authors, and augmented with later observations; illustrated with notes, and adorn'd with peculiar maps, and proper sculptures, by John Ogilby Esq; ..
- Note
- Author assignment according to Sabin and Paltsits.
- Note
- Translation, by John Ogilby, of: De Nieuwe en onbekende Weereld: of Beschryving van America en't Zuid-Land. Amsterdam, 1671.
- Note
- Edited by John Ogilby. In spite of the addition of new text material, especially on British America, and the provision of three new maps (on Maryland, Jamaica and Barbados), the present version in English is basically the same work as the Dutch original, and hence Ogilby's authorship cannot be maintained. On the other hand, the attempts by various authors to accuse Ogilby of plagiarism are equally well unfounded, since a regular business relationship between Ogilby and the Dutch publisher and engraver Jacob van Meurs had been established; van Meurs supplied the leaves of plates, printed at his shop, for the present edition in English and even lent the small copper plates for the 66 text illustrations to Ogilby; only the added engraved title page was modified, to become the frontispiece, and the general map of America (facing p. 1) was re-engraved; see Schuchard and Ford.
- Note
- First issue, dated 1670, with a title and imprint different from that of later issues and lacking the plates "Arx Carolina" and "Virginiæ pars australis & Florida", although they are listed in the index of plates on p. [1], 3rd count (as facing p. 205 and p. 213). On the other hand, the new plate on Barbados (facing p. 377) is not mentioned in the index of plates. The map of Carolina, engraved by Moxon and found in some copies, is not to be considered an integral part of this work, according to Ford.
- Note
- Publication date 1670 incorrect; a map of Jamaica dated 1671 is included, also some events having taken place late in 1670 are mentioned.
