Constitutes the tenth part, first issue of the sole Latin edition of Theodor de Bry's Great voyages, printed in fourteen parts, in Latin, German, French, and English, in Frankfurt am Main, Oppenheim, and Hanau from 1590-1644, and the Elenchus, an outline of the thirteen Latin parts, published by Matthias Merian in Frankfurt am Main in 1634
This work has been identified as the first issue of part ten of the sole Latin edition of the Great voyages by Church
The first issue of the sole edition of Latin part ten can be identified by the engraved title page showing two vessels in full sail with a standing figure of an Indian on each side; this copy also has a genuine blank leaf between plates X and XI

"Vera ac solida descriptio navigationis in Novam Angliam, quae Americae pars in septentrionali Indiae plaga sita est, sub capitaneo Johanne Schmidt, equite ac admirali ejusdem regionis. Cui additus, brevis discursus, qua ratione modò dictus capitaneus, in secunda expeditione à Gallis captus, tandemque liberatus sit: adhaec quis modernus Novae Angliae sit status: quae omnia anno 1616. contigerunt", p. 45-72, 1st and 2nd counts, has separate caption title

Anno M DC XIX, which is followed by plates numbered I-XII, printed on recto only, and which are signed a2-4 through d1-2
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. They appear to have been taken from an edition of his voyages printed at Rotterdam in 1616, entitled Novus Orbis, id est, navigationes primae in Americam [sic, actually not attributed to Vespucci but edited by Simon Grynaeus from material collected by Johann Huttich, which was first printed in Pars, 1532]. Next follows a translation of Hamor's Virginia published at London in 1615, entitled A true discourse of the present state of Virginia. Lastly, comes the relation of a voyage made to New England by captain John Smith, printed in London in 1616, and entitled A description of New England. Cf. Church
Contains plates numbered I-XII bound following p. [3-4], 3rd count; there is no difference in the plates between the first and second issues of the first Latin edition of part ten
