There Is A Third Class Of Voyages Thus Denominated, Which, Though They Embrace The Four Quarters Of The Globe, Do Not Extend To The South Sea, Or The Australasian Lands.

All these three classes are comprehended in the following catalogue, and we have deemed it right also to follow the author of the Bibliotheque in dividing them into two parts, ancient voyages round the world, and modern voyages:

The first comprehend voyages of the first class, and were performed from the middle of the sixteenth to the middle of the seventeenth century.

Il Viaggio fatto dagli Spanuoli attorno il Mondo, 1536. 4to. - This is the first edition of the Voyages of Pigafetta, who sailed with Magellan in his celebrated Voyage round the World, but it is incomplete.
