Excerpt from The Bibliographical Miscellany
Knowing no other, I have followed the Athenaeum copy of King James' Letter, but Mr. Hanrott's facsimile of the Instructions. A few variations occur between the two; the Athenaeum copy dating the Instructions April 1. In paragraph 6, oomr'natz'om is used for oom'wwtiom in p. 7, the 20 or 30 L. (leagues) is rendered 20° or 30° in p. 10 after calm, the words and other Eastern people, are omitted. The other variations are of no importance.
