plete. It contains the rare chart of Terre Australe, with Hollandia Nova,
Zealandia Nova, Terra de Diemen's, and Tasman's route thereon.
There are
also the 63 plates of ancient Mexican figures or hieroglyphs and a quaint

Life and Recollections! of a New Zealand
.Colonist (written by himself). In three volumes. Vol. III. London: |
Printed for the author. | 1875.

Sm. 8vo. Pp. viii, 418. Numerous woodcuts.

Though printed in 1875, the author prohibited its publication until the
present year (1909), perhaps because of personal and confidential references
to certain political incidents of the time. Vols. i and ii probably refer to
his "Personal Narrative of a Visit to Europe in 1864. With illustrations
and notes added in 1871," and his "Incidents of Travel, and Sketches of
Remarkable Places in England and other Countries," 1875. (Vide also pp. 296
and 376.) In his catalogue the work is referred to under No. 150.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

OF THE

LITERATURE OF NEW ZEALAND.

1643-1898.

Heeres, J. E. Tasman, Abel Jangzoon. Abel Janszoon Tasman's Journal of his discovery of Van Diemen's Land and New Zealand in 1642 | with documents relating to his exploration of Australia in 1644 being photolithographic facsimiles of the original | manuscript in the Colonial Archives at the Hague with an English translation and facsimiles of original maps to which are added Life and Labours of Abel Janszoon Tasman | By J. E. Heeres LL.D., Professor at the Dutch Colonial Institute | Delft and observations made with the compass on Tasman's | Voyage by Dr. W. van Bemmelen Assistant-Director of the Royal Meteorological Institute Utrecht || Amsterdam | Frederik Muller and Co. | (F. Adama van Scheltema and Anton Messing) | 1898.

Roy. fol., 13 x 7, vellum and gilt; price, £7. Pp.: n.p. 6; facsimile of original Journal (n.p.), 195; translation, 59; life and labours, 163; compass observations, 21. 10 maps. Reproductions of the 50 original illustrations and maps, chiefly coast-lines.

This magnificent volume gives at last the complete account of Tasman's life and labours. The Journal is the long-lost one, discovered about 1854 at Batavia, and forms the source of the various abridged and imperfect texts of two hundred years ago and later, as given below. It was first edited by Jacob Swart in 1860 in the original Dutch.

Tasman (1603-59) sailed from Batavia for Mauritius August 14, 1642; discovered and named Van Diemen's Land; then, on December 13, Staten Land, as he first called New Zealand; the Tonga and Fiji Groups, New Guinea, &c.; and returned June 15, 1643.

Heeres, J. E.-continued.

Translations from this were soon after printed in most European languages, as in Narborough's Collection, 1694 and 1711; Dr. Hook's Philosophical Collection, 1682; Thévenot, Paris, 1681.

1726. Valentyn, François. Oud en nieuw Oost-Indien

Deel

v. Dordrecht en Amsterdam. MDCCXXVI. Omstanding Verhaal van de Geschiedenissen en Zaaken Derde Deel Banda, p. 47. (The old and new East Indies, &c. A full account of the history and trade, &c.) Through his marriage connections Valentyn had access to the archives and journals of the Dutch East India Company, many of which he published. His abridgment of Tasman appears in this huge and magnificently illustrated folio work of five volumes with many charts and views, and formed the chief source from which many others drew-as Dr. John Harris's Collection, 1702–5, 2 vols. folio, which, edited by Campbell ("Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca "), appeared in 2 vols. folio, 1744 (from this Callendar made his copy); De Hondt's Collection, 1749; and others.

1776. Woide, Rev. G. C. Translation from a copy of the original (abridged) belonging to Mr. (Sir Joseph) Banks, by whom both were afterwards bequeathed to the British Museum. This supplied a still more complete account, and it appears in Burney's Voyages," Vol. iii, 1813, forming the best to date.
