"This volume comprises Capt. _Whitbourne's_ tract, printed in 1620, together with the discourse above mentioned, but with considerable alterations, and 15 pages of letters from Newfoundland, dated in 1622.

689. ZARATE, (AUGUSTIN DE)--Histoire de la Découverte et de la Conquête du Pérou, en l'an 1525, avec les objets d'histoire naturelle qu'on y trouve, et ce qui s'en est ensuivi, par Augustin De Zarate; traduite de l'Espagnol: _Amsterdam_, 1706. _Ibid_, 1718. _Paris_, 1716. 2 vols. _in-12_. _Ibid_, 1830. 2 vols. _in-18_.
"Quoique cette traduction ait quelque mérite, la difficulté que, de son propre aveu, le traducteur a trouvée à l'exécuter, relativement surtout à donner l'équivalent des titres et des dignités énoncés en l'original, et à rendre même bien exactement les idées de l'Auteur Espagnol, doit engager les amateurs à lire l'ouvrage dans l'original, ou du moins dans la traduction dans la langue Italienne, qui a beaucoup plus d'affinité que la nôtre avec la langue Espagnole.
"_Zarate_ ne s'est pas borné à la narration historique de la découverte et de la Conquête du Pérou: il l'a fait précéder d'un tableau de l'état physique du pays, des moeurs de ses habitans, tant indigènes qu'Espagnols, et d'un exposé curieux des opinions religieuses et du culte des Péruviens."--_Bib. des Voyages._

"L'Auteur, Médecin et Botaniste, se rendit en Amérique et se fixa à la Jamaïque. Il fit une étude approfondie de toutes les productions naturelles de cette isle. Il eut l'occasion de perfectionner les découvertes qu'y avait faites Sloane, et d'en faire lui-même de nouvelles. De retour en Angleterre, il donna en 1755, une carte très-exacte de cette isle, qu'il avait tracée de sa main, et qui a été gravée en deux feuilles, par Bailey. L'année suivante, il publia l'excellent ouvrage ci-dessus, enrichi de superbes figures dessinées par le célèbre Ehret. Il y rectifié les caractères de plusieurs genres de plantes du P. Plumier, et il en établit quelques nouveaux. Linné n'en admit qu'un petit nombre; mais presque tous les autres ont été reconnus depuis.

721. DU CALVET, (PIERRE)--The Case of Pierre Du Calvet, Esquire, of Montreal, in the Province of Quebeck, containing, (amongst other things worth notice) An Account of the long and severe Imprisonment he suffered in the said Province, by the order of General Haldimand, the present Governour of the same, without the least offense, or other lawful cause whatever. To which is prefixed, a dedication of it in the French language, (Mr. Du Calvet not understanding English) to the King's Most Excellent Majesty, humbly imploring the protection and countenance of His Majesty's Royal Justice in his endeavours to procure some compensation for the injuries he has received: _London_, 1784. 8vo.
This work was published in London in 1784, on the failure of Mr. _Du Calvet's_ complaints to the King and his Ministers against General Haldimand. Mr. _Du Calvet_ was a French Protestant, who remained in Canada, when it was ceded to Great Britain in 1763. He was engaged in trade, and had been appointed a Magistrate in Montreal under the British Government, but was early engaged in feuds with his brother Magistrates, which were conducted in the spirit of absolute Government, whose power is frequently brought into play in these feuds. Mr. _Du Calvet_ was finally imprisoned at Quebec, as favouring the _Bostoniens_, for two years and eight months prior to the 2d May, 1783, when he was enlarged, and proceeded to England to obtain justice against the Governor. This publication contains some interesting Documents of the times prior to the establishment of a Representative Constitution in Lower-Canada, of which he was a strong partizan, warmly opposed to the _Quebec_ Act of 1774. The picture which Mr. _Du Calvet_ himself gives of these times and the actors in them, is probably too highly coloured, and in many instances is a mere caricature.--_Editor._
