life, and the treasures of a vast income, upon the accumulation of authentic material for the illustration of his cherished subjects -Hydrography and Navigation. The Arcano comprises Portolani and Charts by English and other pilots, which were never published elsewhere; and it seems curious that the book should have hitherto escaped the notice of most American collectors, when we consider some of its points of interest. The maps which depict Virginia, New Netherlands, and New England, are amongst the most important of these: they are fuller and upon a larger scale than, while at the same time, they are totally distinct from, those of Laet, Jansson, Mercator, Visscher, the Beschryving of 1651, Van Loon, and Donckers. It is very strange, upon this account, that the Arcano is omitted by Asher in his Biographical Essay, and that the attention of so painstaking a student should not have been drawn to Dudley's work. The above second edition was prepared from the author's corrected copy of the first; and as he died in 1639, his maps of those parts of America must be considered to take

precedence of all those mentioned by Asher, except the 1630 edition of Laet. In fact, it is uncertain whether they might not claim priority even over Laet; for the engraver Lucini mentions that he himself had been kept secluded in an obscure village of Tuscany for twelve years, working incessantly at the plates. Asher's Essay, so elaborate in its description of the various early maps and charts, their variations, and their mutual dependence or independence, becomes very defective through its omission of the Arcano. Again the large scale of the maps of California and New Albion, and the number of names which crowd the coast line below and above Cape Mendocino, with the marginal observation upon the errors of latitude made by previous writers, show conclusively the scientific character and importance of Dudley's work. A similar remark will apply to the delineations of the newly discovered lands of Australia, and the northern coasts of New Holland (which he mistakenly calls New Guinea, while leaving to that island its other name Papua).

One of the Portolans is by Abraham Kendal, the master of Dudley's flag-ship, when the latter (just before Raleigh made his similar attempt) fitted out an expedition in 1594-95 to explore the land of Eldorado; during which he visited Trinidad and some other islands, Guyana, the issues of the Orinoco, &c. He took some useful notes, made lists of native words, thrashed some Spanish ships, and escaped some great dangers in this expedition, a daring one for a young man of 21-but returned without booty. The numerous Vocabularies of savage languages which the Arcano contains are of considerable interest. Abraham Kendal, whose name is unknown to the book-makers, died at Portobello, in Central America, in 1597, in Drake's service, leaving behind him the plans and papers of which Dudley made good use.

Dudley was the legitimate son of the Earl of Leicester, and acknowledged as such during his father's life, but the hatred of his step-mother and the enmity which his aspiring and ambitious character created for him, damaged his prospects at court. He claimed the Dukedom of Northumberland, which had fallen into abeyance on the execution of his grandfather, the setter-up of Queen Jane Gray; but soon left England (where he was more likely to receive indignities than rewards), and went to travel on the Continent, from which he never returned. He obtained, however, from the Grand Duke of Tuscany honours and employment; and received from Ferdinand II. a patent by which the title of Duke of Northumberland and Earl of Warwick was secured to himself and his children throughout the Empire, with the title of Duchess for the lady he took with him from England and married in Italy. Charles I. conferred the same title upon the wife whom Dudley had left with four children in England behind him.-Note in Quaritch's Catalogue.
