[1670][8], 629, [1] p., [57] leaves of plates (some folded) ill., ports., mapsIncludes bibliographical references.Apparently based in part on Arnoldus Montanus's "De Nieuwe en onbekende weereld: of beschryving van American en 't zuid-land," which was granted copyright privileges in July, 1670, and published in Amsterdam in 1671. Sabin, who records an edition of Ogilby as bearing date of 1670, says: "This English translation is, like Dapper's 'an impudent plagiarism' from Montanus, plates included." In the text many changes and additions were made by Ogilby, and his maps of Maryland, Jamaica and Barbados are not found in Montanus. The general map of America in Ogilby also differs materially from that in the Dutch work.Reproduction of original in the Harvard University Library.eebo-0062Voyages and travelsEarly works to 1800AmericaDiscovery and explorationEarly works to 1800AmericaHistoryTo 1810Early works to 1800Voyages and travelsOgilby John1600-1676.717262Montanus Arnoldus1625?-1683.706252CU-RivESCU-RivESWaOLNBOOK996394777203316America: being an accurate description of the nevv vvorld2308062UNISA
