The rarity of this edition is so great that only three or four perfect copies are said to be in existence. The present copy is very large and would be found well adapted to form the nucleus of a perfect one. Lord Spencer, says Dr. Dibdin, gave 100 guineas for two incomplete copies to make one perfect, and Brunet records a copy wanting the table (probably this) as selling for £26. in Heber's sale.

"Ramusio recueillit dès le 5me, siècle les relations qui pouvaient faire connaitre les côtes de l'Afrique, une partie de l'Asie et les découvertes faites jusqu' alors dans le Nouveau Monde; il enrichit ces voyages de savantes prefaces, et composa des dissertations importantes."-DARU.

Ramusio's collection of Voyages and Travels, the most perfect work of that nature extant in any language whatsoever; containing all the discoveries to the East, West, North and South; with full descriptions of all the countries discovered; judiciously compiled, and free from that great mass of useless matter, which swells our English Hackluyt and Purchas; much more complete and full than the Latin De Bry, and, in fine, the noblest work of this nature."-LOCKE.
