5 Nouveau VOYAGE fait autour du monde, par Le Gentil (la

Barbinais), enrichi de plusieurs plans, vues, et perspectives des principales villes et ports du Pérou, du Chili, du Brésil, et de la Chine, avec une description beaucoup plus étendue que celles qui ont paru jusqu'à présent, où il est traité des meurs, religion, politique, éducation, et commerce des peuples de ces empires.

Paris. 12mo. 3 vols. Admiral Burney expresses a doubt whether this voyage was really made by

Le Gentil. The account, he says, is full of obscurity, which may have proceeded from the ignorance of the writer on maritime subjects, and from bis general want of judgment. M. de Brosses has allowed credit to the narration as being genuine, observing at the same time that it was one of small importance to the bistory of navigation or commerce. It is given in the form of letters addressed to some unnamed correspondent between

1714 and 1718. Burney, iv. p. 508. Reprinted in 1727, 1728, 1731. 6 CRISIS DEL ENSAYO à la historia de la Florida. Quarto, pp. 55.

was an industrious and intelligent collector, but apparently not an able writer. This criticism was written by the historiographer of Spain and the Indies, Don Joseph de Salazar, author of several works of po great merit, who was evidently jealous of Barcia's superior qualifications for his own employment.

performed in the years 1719, 20, 21, 22, in the Speedwell of London, of twenty-four guns and 100 men, (under H. M.'s commission to cruize on the Spaniards, in the late war with

Two bistories were published of this voyage. This, written by Captain

Shelvocke, was intended by him as a vindication of his conduct, having
been accused of piracy and embezzlement. The other was written by
one of Shelvocke's officers, William Betagh (see 1728), who was roughly
treated in Shelvocke's narrative, and, in return, wrote with the design of

exposing Shelvocke. Both narratives are written with spirit. Burney.

Boyle's narrative is probably a fictitious one, but that of Castelman bears

marks of authenticity. The latter's visit to Philadelphia took place in
1710. Boyle's voyages have been often reprinted; but Castelman's

relation is only to be found in the early editions.

Folio, 5 vols.
This work was printed between the years 1726 and 1730, the volumes

bearing dates of all those years. It is merely a reprint of the original
edition of 1601 – 1615, with the addition of a very copious index, com-
piled under the direction of Barcia, but without a continuation, as erro-
neously stated by Meusel. An edition was printed at Antwerp in 1728,
with very indifferent and very useless plates, and the text abounding in
typographical errors. It was published in French, at Paris, in 1659--71,
and in English in 1725--6. For a very judicious criticism of this work

of Herrera's, see Irving's Columbus, iv. p. 387. 11 VICTIMA REAL LEGAL, discurso unico juridico-historico-politico,

In consequence of this vindication of the Royal right to the revenues

This volume contains all the acts down to 1775, and is probably called vol.i.

in reference to those that might be subsequently passed and printed. The
laws of Virginia were printed in London, without date, probably before
1696, as an act passed in that year is mentioned by Trott as not contained
in it.
