TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
This book was published in 1865. It was, as the Preface notes, a“literal” and “exact” copy of the original book published in 1674,and so retained the spelling, the punctuation and the copiousitalicizing of the original. (The errata in the 1674 book wereapplied.)
This etext maintains this careful reproduction of the 1674 text,with some exceptions that are noted at the end of the book.
The page numbers of the 1674 book are embedded in the text andetext in [ ] brackets; for example [p. 75.]
The 1865 publisher inserted two corrections in [ ] brackets; theyhave been retained in this etext without change:
page 9: “the Ships trine [trim?] a foot by the stern”
page 157: “20 English miles, [leagues?] or 60 miles”.
The dates in the book of course accord with the Julian calendar.Dual dating was (sometimes) used for events between January 1stand March 25th (the end of a Julian year), for example on page204: “the 24 of January 1659/60 landed at”.
The cover image was created by the transcriberand is placed in the public domain.
