THE EXCESSIVELY RARE "SECOND VOYAGE" TO

GUIANA, 1596

232. CHAPMAN (GEORGE). A Relation of the Second Voyage to Guiana. Performed and written in the yeare 1596. By LAWRENCE KEYMIS, Gent. Device on title and large Woodcut of Raleigh's Arms on back of it. Small 4to, old brown morocco, gilt edges. Imprinted at London by Thomas Dawson, 1596

A BOOK OF EXCESSIVE RARITY, not more than four copies of which have occurred for sale during the last twenty years. The Author of this Relation was a Sea-Captain who accompanied Sir Walter Raleigh in his Voyage up the Orinoco in 1595. Raleigh being unable to go himself the next year, sent Keymis to continue the Explorations. He was imprisoned with Raleigh in the Tower in 1603, and was frequently examined in hopes of convicting his Leader. It is called the "SECOND VOYAGE" because Raleigh's the actual FIRST VOYAGE, made in 1595, was not published until this same year.

On the back of G2 Keymis gives a long list of the "Names of those
worthie Spaniardes that have fought to discover and conquere Guiana:
Extracted out of the Writings of Juan de Castellanos who compiled the
Booke intituled 'Primera Parte de las Elegias de Varones Illustres de
Indias.' ''
Amongst these are the names of many well known Spanish
Adventurers. Each is accompanied by a brief but most interesting Bio-
graphical Notice.

MORE THAN ANY OTHER VOLUME OF VALUE AND IMPORTANCE, AMONGST
THE EARLIEST ENGLISH BOOKS RELATING TO AMERICA, THIS BOOK IS OF
THE VERY GREATEST LITERARY INTEREST ON ACCOUNT OF ITS CONTAINING
AN ELIZABETHAN POEM, AND OTHER VERSES, OF SOMEWHAT EXTRAORDINARY
Facing the Commencement of the Narration is a one-page Latin
Poem written by Lawrence Keymis in honor of THOMAS HARIOT, Raleigh's
Surveyor of Virginia and Author of the "Brief and True Report." Pre-
ceding this is a very spirited six-page poem by GEORGE CHAPMAN WHICH
IS HIS THIRD PRINTED PRODUCTION. Some of the lines read

MERIT.

"Riches, and Conquest, and Renowne I sing,
Riches with honour, Conquest without bloud,
Enough to seat the Monarchie of Earth

Like to Jove's Eagle, on Eliza's hand," etc., etc.

The closing lines of this "Carmen Epicum de Guiana" are

"Where New Britania, humblie kneeles to heaven
The World to her, and both at her blest feete,
In whom the Circles of all Empire meet."
