PREFACE.
This 1s the finest collection of Americana ever offered for
sale im this country or Europe. Nearly all the books in the
magnificent series of early works relating to this country are
scarce, and many of them are excessively rare.
The Americana in the famous Library at Britwell Court,
Burnham, Bucks, England, the property of S. R. Christie-
Miller, Esq., was catalogued for sale by auction in London
last August, but just before the date set for the sale the col-
lection was bought en bloc and brought to New York, where
it was sold to Mr. Henry E. Huntington.
Mr. Huntington removed about fifty books to strengthen his
own unrivalled collection, added about the same number of
great rarities that had formerly been in the Barlow, Ives
Heber, Crane, Church, and Chew Libraries, and then con-
signed the books for sale, thus affording other collectors an
opportunity to acquire many books so scarce that they rarely
come on the market.
When nearly every book among the three hundred is very
important and every collector will give the most careful at-
tention to every page of the Catalogue it is unnecessary to
go deeply into details in a preface, but a very brief reference
may be permitted to some of the greatest rarities, like:
Las Casas’s Spanish Colonie, 1583; Peckham’s True Reporte,
1583; Hakluyt’s Navigations, 1589; Savile’s Libell of Span-
ish Lies, 1596; Nicholl’s Houre Glass, 1607, one of six copies
known ; Champlain’s Voyages et Descouvertures, with the date
1619 on the engraved title; Eburne’s Plaine Path-way, 1624;
Gordon’s Encouragements, 1625; the Humble Request, being
the Farewell Address of Governor Winthrop, 1630; Cham-
plain’s Voyages, 1632 ; Thomas Morton’s New English Canaan,
1637 ; Bullock’s Virginia, uncut, 1649; Langford’s Refutation,
1655, one of four known copies; Nathaniel Morton’s New HEng-
land’s Memorial, 1669, the first historical book printed in
America; Hubbard’s Narrative, 1677, with the original map
of New England; and the writings of Captain John Smith, in-
cluding his True Relation, 1608, his Description of New Eng-
land, 1616, two copies of the First Edition of his Virginia,
1624, his Advertisements for the Unexperienced Planters,
1631, and his Perfect Description of Virginia, 1649, of which
no copy has been sold in many years. |
Attention should also be called to the magnificent set of
De Bry’s Voyages, embracing his Voyages to America, 13
parts in Latin and 14 in German, 1590-1634, and his Voyages
to the Hast Indies, 12 parts in Latin and 13 parts in German,
1597-1628, of which each part will be sold separately so that
American collectors may complete their sets. | |
Every book in this Catalogue, except where otherwise noted,
is from the Christie-Miller Collection.

FIRST SESSION

LOTS 1-153
NOTE—Every book in this Catalogue, except where other-
wise noted, is from the famous Christie-Miller Collection which
was bought en bloc after it had been catalogued in London for
sale by auction.
1. [ABBOT (ARCHBISHOP GEORGE).] A Briefe De-
scription of the Whole World, wherein is particylarly de-
seribed all the Monarchies and Kingdoms of the same, with
their Academies. Newly augmented and enlarged with their
severall Titles and Scituations thereto adjoyning. The sixt
(sic) edition. Small 4to, full crushed crimson levant morocco,
gilt edges, with the Miller arms on covers, by Pratt.
Lond.: Printed for John Marriot, 1624
A very fine, clean copy, with an original blank leaf for Ai.
47 pages relate to America.
2. ACOSTA (JOSEPH). The Naturall and Morall His-
torie of the East and West Indies. Intreating of the re-
markeable things of Heaven, of the Elements, Mettalls, Plants
and Beasts which are proper to that Country: Together with
the Manners, Ceremonies, Lawes, Governments, and Warres
of the Indians. Written in Spanish by Joseph Acosta, and
translated into English by E. G. 4to, original limp vellum.
Lond.: Printed by Val. Sims for Edward Blount and
William Aspley, 1604.
THE VERY RARE FirST ENGLISH EDITION, IN SPLENDID CON-
DITION.
A most important work, the best evidence of its merits being
that it has been translated into almost every language in Eu-
rope. Sabin enumerates 22 editions. The work is replete with
details of the Aborigines, before their peculiar customs had
become modified by contact with the whites. Although Acosta
was one of the earliest, yet he was one of the most curious and
accurate observers of the customs and peculiarities of the Abo-
rigines who have attempted to describe them. In perfect and
crisp condition, a few insignificant wormings on some margins
being the only defects.
3. ACUNA (C. D’). Voyages and Discoveries in South-
America. The First up the River of Amazons. By Christopher
D’Acugna. The Second up the River of Plata. By Mons.
Acarete. The Third from Cayenne into Guina. By M. Grillet
and Bechamel. Done into English from the Originals. 2 fine
folding maps. 8vo, contemporary calf, back gilt tooled (one
margin torn). Lond.: Printed for 8. Buckley, 1698
Scarce Narrative of explorations along the river Amazon by
the first Europeans to traverse those regions and to visit the
Indian tribes—the Arragones and the Nouragones.
From Mr. Huntington’s Library.
4, ALEXANDER (SIR WILLIAM). The Mapp and De-
scription of New-England; together with a Discourse of
Plantation, and Collonies: also, a Relation of the Nature of
the Climate, and how it agrees with our owne Country Eng-
-land. How neere it lyes to New-found-land, Virginia, Noua |
Francia, Canada, and Parts of the West-Indies. Wath fold-
ing map. Small 4to, full crimson crushed levant morocco,
gilt line border, gilt back, gilt inside borders, gilt edges, by
F.. Bedford (slight repairs to title).
Lond.: Printed for Nathaniel Bvtter, 1630
EXCEEDINGLY RARE. Contains the original folding map in
fine condition. It is a re-issue of the unsold sheets of Sir Wm.
Alexander’s ‘‘An Encouragement to Colonies’’ which appeared
in 1625. The work is a record of the Harl of Stirling’s unsuc-
cessful attempt to found a Scotch colony in Nova Scotia, to
which he gave its name. The map displays the country from
Cape Cod to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and containes the names
of the patentees among whom the Country was originally di-
vided.
The E. D. Church copy with the bookplate.
5. APPOLONIT (LEVINI). De Peruviae, Regionis, unter
Novi, Orbis provincias celeberrimae, inventione: et rebus in
eadem gestis libri V. Small 8vo, old tree-calf gilt (title soiled
and slightly defective, wants Bellero’s Map of America, some
margins cut close). Antwerpiae: Jo. Bellerus, 1566

New Description of that Fertile and Pleasant Province of
Carolina; with a Brief Account of its Discovery, Settling,
and the Government thereof to this Time. With several Re-
6

Lond.: Printed for John Wyat, 1707
First EDITION. PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR, with
the inscription ‘‘#a dono Author, 29 Junii, 1708’’ on title, and
name of W. Musgrave written on verso of title. The margin
of p. 9 has had some ink marks partially eradicated, and on
the last page the word ‘‘begin’’ has been corrected by the
author, to ‘‘assist in.’’ In the printing, sig.B has been entirely
omitted, agreeing in this respect with the Church collation.
The present copy has the rare half-title.
Gov. Archdale came to America in 1685 and made himself
highly popular with the earlier settlers. He introduced the
cultivation of rice, and under his administration the colony was
very prosperous.
7. ATKINS (JOHN).

DE BRY: VOYAGES TO AMERICA, IN LATIN, cont’d.
Nort’’ sometimes found on p. 3 of the second pagination of
the First Edition. This issue has the large folding map of
Guiana (which has been backed with linen, and mounted on a
guard), and 25 plates, some of which are reproduced in the
text from the First Edition. Five of the plates are new, and
one of these (on p. 57), Crawford states, caused him much
trouble to find. The Adam and Eve plate, with the sig. ‘‘Io.
Theodore de Bry fe,’’ occupies p. 58, which page is sometimes
found blank. The blank leaf N6 is genuine.
On pages 129-150 (160) in this edition is a narrative not to
be found in the First. This is an account of an expedition
made by the Dutch in 1599 under Pieter van der Does against
the Spaniards, particularly at the Canaries.

lished in Seville in 1590. Then follows the Voyage of Sebald
de Weert made in a vessel which was part of the fleet sent to
the Moluccas by way of the Straits of Magellan in June, 1598;
this is followed by the Additamentum, which contains a narra-
tion of the voyage of Olivier van Noort.
The second series of plates (I-XIV) are numbered on the
coppers in Arabic figures, 1-13. There are also references to
the numbers of the folios of the German edition, which was
published before the Latin. On some of them is also the mark
of the engraver (K. G. 1602).
A hole in the margin of leaf Y2 has been repaired, and ff6
has a slight tear on the margin. The blank leaf ddd4 is want-
ing, but the blank leaf Yy6 is present and genuine.

Latin. AMERICA. Part X. ONuy Epirion. First Issue.
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; next follows a translation of
Hamor’s ‘‘ Virginia’’; followed by the relation of a voyage
made to New England by Captain John Smith. A copy of the
title-page of the Second Issue has been inserted, showing a
variation in the vignette, otherwise the same as given above.
In the present copy there is no blank leaf between plates X
and XI forming sig. ¢4.

tains accounts of two voyages around the world; the first that
by William Cornelisz Schouten, under the direction of Jacob
le Maire, made in the years 1615-1617, an account of which
was first published at Amsterdam in 1618. A Latin edition
appeared at the same place in 1619. The present translation
differs so materially from it that it is thought to be from an
older version. The second voyage is that made by Joris van
Spilbergen, in 1614-18. The three blank leaves F6, D6 and d6
are present and genuine. The engraved vignette on the first
title-page is the same as the first plate, and that on the title
to the Appendix is the same as was used on the title to the
Second issue of Part X.

Bertius. The part closes with an extract from Acosta’s ‘‘ His-
toria’’ which was published in Part IX. At folio 130 a plate
representing a triumphal entry has been pasted over a plate
similar to that on folio 133 verso. In the present copy, the
Herrara maps are on paper of the same size and quality as the
rest of the volume. The double-page map, which has been
mounted on a guard and backed with linen, is the same
as that used in Part VI. The last leaf Cc8 is blank and
genuine. The upper margin of folio 33 has been restored.

the folds have been strengthened with silk; the map of the
Straits of Magellan ‘‘Fretum Magellannicum’’ has been ex-
tended on the inner margin. The ‘‘ Bibliotheca Grenvilliana’’
says: ‘‘ These two last parts (XII. and XIII.) are excessively
rare, and generally found in very bad condition and without

has been inserted in the map, a small portion thereby being in
facsimile. There are slight tears in a number of the edges.
The blank leaf O6 has been taken from the end and inserted
as f6. This copy lacks the German imprint (printed on a slip
and pasted over the Latin imprint), although the appearance
would indicate that it may have once been there. The recto of
leaf Oij of the Warhafftige has no side note, and in line 28 of
the same page, the ‘‘t’’ shows faintly in the word ‘‘Schif-
fahrten.’’

GERMAN. INDIES. Part I. First Eprtion. This copy cor-
responds with the Crawford collation, except that the line at
the bottom of the border on the title-page reads ‘‘de bry’? not
‘‘de Bry,’’ and the word ‘‘schonen,’’ in the sixth line of the
title to the plates is printed as here and not ‘‘schénen.’’ The
present appears to be of the earlier issue, with the plates 11-14
added from the later issue and a slightly smaller copy (three of
these latter plates are repaired on the lower margins, lacks the
last blank leaf). Plates 1-10 are numbered in large figures at
the upper right-hand corner of the leaves. Plates 11-14 are
numbered at the center of the top with smaller Roman numerals.
Brunet does not mention the rare half-title of these last 4
plates which appears in this copy. The two sections of the map
of Africa are here joined. Both that and the map of the
Congo are repaired in the folds,

First edition. The last plate has twelve lines of letterpress;

79 is 76; 84 is 86; 87 is 86; 87 and 88 are omitted in the

Leydae: Apud Fr. Raphelengium, 1588
LARGE COPY OF THE VERY RARE First LATIN EDITION, with a

probably got this title from Lowndes.’ This copy contains the
original first and last blanks.
