Third and best edition. - ‘The most authentic history of the Dutch marine, founded
entirely on documents of the Royal Archives. It is the more important as many of
these documents were consumed, after the publication of the work, in the great fire of
1853, which destroyed a part of the Archives. Its value for the American collector
needs not to be specified, as it contains very ample material for the history of the
West-India-Company, the early expeditions to America, the wars with the Spaniards
and Portuguese there, and the transmarine colonies. Many of the fine portraits are
taken from old pictures, drawings, and very rare plates, not known before’ (Muller,
America, p.87).
