"In this work Levinus Hulsius translates John Smith's A Description of New England into German for the thirteenth part of his Sammlung von Sechs und Zwanzig Schiffarten. This extremely rare series competed with Theodore de Bry's collection of voyages. It is known for its accuracy and quality of illustration. For this map he utilised the first state of Smith's New England published the previous year in London." (Burden)
