Note: This part published seventeen years after part IX, is divided into three sections; the first containing the two letters of Americus Vespuccius giving an account of his voyages to America in 1497 and 1499. They appear to have been taken from an edition of his voyages printed at Rotterdam in 1616, entitled Novus Orbis, id est, navigationes primae in Americam [sic, actually not attributed to Vespucci but edited by Simon Grynaeus from material collected by Johann Huttich, which was first printed in Pars, 1532]. Next follows a translation of Hamor's Virginia published at London in 1615, entitled A true discourse of the present state of Virginia. Lastly, comes the relation of a voyage made to New England by captain John Smith, printed in London in 1616, and entitled A description of New England. Cf. Church.
Note: Contains plates numbered I-XII bound following p. [3-4], 3rd count; there is no difference in the plates between the first and second issues of the first Latin edition of part ten.
Note: Signatures: A-I⁴ (A1 verso, I4 blank) a-c⁴ (a1 verso, c4 blank) d²
Note: Fully engraved title page proper; the other title page has a printer's ornament; engraved head and tail pieces; initials.
