"Three hundred and sixty-five copies of which three hundred and fifty are for sale ... Number 88." From a hitherto unpublished manuscript quarts in the John Carter Brown library.

The other two sections, copied from letters written by John Pory, the first dated 1622, relate to Plymouth and the New England coast. Maps: Facsimile of Capt. John Smith's issue of Norwood's map of the Bermudas of 1622 as rearranged and published in the Generall historie, 1624.
