London: Printed for the Author, 1671. Full Description: OGILBY, John, [editor, translator]. MONTANUS, Arnoldus [author]. America: Being The latest, And Most Accurate Description Of The New World; Containing The Original of the Inhabitants, and the Remarkable Voyages thither. The Conquest Of The Vast Empires Of Mexico and Peru, and Other Large Provinces and Territories, With The Several European Plantations In Those Parts. Also Their Cities, Fortresses, Towns, Temples, Mountains, and Rivers. Their Habits, Customs, Manner, and Religions. Their Plants, Beasts, Birds, and Serpents. With An Appendix, containing , besides several other considerable Additions, a brief Survey of what hath been discover'd of the Unknown South-Land and the Arctick Region. Collected from the most Authenntick Authors, Augmented with later Observations, and Adorn'd with Maps and Sculptures, by John Ogilby, esq; His Majesty's Cosmographer, Geographick Printer, and Master of the Revels in the Kingdom of Ireland. London: Printed for the Author, 1671. First edition, first issue in English of this classic early work on the Americas including one of the first views of New York City. Folio (16 3/16 x 10 3/4 inches; 411 x 274 mm). [2, blank], [2, frontis], [vii], [1, blank] 674, [1, binder's instructions], [3, blank] pp. Title printed in red and black. Complete with fifty-eight engraved plates, including engraved frontispiece, two folding maps, two folding plates, six full-page plates and forty-seven double-page plates. Also with sixty-six inter-textual plates. Also with numerous engraved head- and tail-pieces and initials There is some confusion over the correct number of plates and maps, Sabin calls for a total of 65 but then gives a breakdown of portraits maps, views and plans which totals 55, the present copy includes 57 which accords with the plate list given at the end of the volume, and one additional plate, a map of Barbados, has also been included in this volume, but is not called for on the list of plates. There are two issues of this work. The earlier includes a view titled `Arx Carolina' between pp.204 and 205 (as in this copy), in the later issues this is replaced by a map of Carolina. Contemporary mottled calf, rebacked preserving the original spine. Brown morocco spine label, lettered in gilt. All edges marbled. Leaf E4 with a small, closed tear. Leaf R4 with a 1 1/2-inch tear to top margin, not affecting text and a 2 1/2-inch closed tear at the bottom of the page. Leaf Iii6 with a paper flaw at the top margin, not affecting text. Plate between pages 466 and 467 with a 2-inch tear at the top margin, not affecting illustration. Some rubbing to boards. Some browning and toning to leaves and a few dampstains, but overall a superior copy of a book not usually found in such an unsophisticated state. John Ogilby (1600-1676) is described by the Dictionary of National Biography as a "miscellaneous writer" of a good family. He apprenticed to a dance master and was soon reputed to be "one of the best masters in the profession." He suffered a number of misfortunes in his lifetime, including being shipwrecked in his passage from Ireland while fleeing the outbreak of the Civil War in 1641 and losing his house in the Great Fire of London in 1666. He translated, edited, and published many books, including several illustrated geographical works. These included America and ones on China, Japan, Africa, Asia, and Britain. In 1671, Ogilby published the 'America', translated from Arnold Montanus' Dutch text. However, Ogilby added fresh material on the English colonies, supplied by the Proprietors of the various colonies. Earliest issues contain only the Dutch maps and views, with the new English text. Later issues had a number of important maps, draughted from English materials, added, including a map of the Americas and very early depictions of the Carolinas, Maryland, Jamaica and Barbados.
