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.
