xxvi             A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE

Pressmark 1434. a.—of the issue of Tome 11. as a separate work in the
same year, viz. 1670. A careful examination and measurement of the
volume in question (which was at one time in the possession of Henri
Ternaux—afterwards Ternaux-Compans—the well-known historian
and bibliographer of books of early travel, each of the outside covers
bearing his well-known crest, a ram's head, with his initials H. T. m
Gothic letters, all stamped in gold), has convinced the writer that
there is an error in the entry. The mistake has arisen from the fact
that some owner of the volume has erased the words ' tome ii.' from
the title-page. The British Museum cataloguer has thus been led to
suppose that he had a copy of a ' reissue' in his hands; this belief
being strengthened, perhaps, by the fact of the volume having the
leaf with the Extrait du Privilege du Roy at the end, following page
294, as in the copy with 'tome ii.' on the title-page described above.
The volume in question is half-bound in calf, gilt tooling and orna¬
ments in the Ternaux-Compans style, and is lettered at the back
