-
- The second volume is dated 1599, the third 1600.
- "The second part of this second volume" begins new pagination on 3A1 of vol. 2.
- A reprint of the general title page, ca. 1798, misspells the author's name as "Hackluyt".
- The folded engraved map has legend in cartouche at lower right "Thou has here (gentle reader) a true hydrological description of so much of the world as hath beene hitherto discouered ..". It comes in two states: (1) without and (2) with a cartouche in lower left referring to the discovery of Sir Francis Drake. The map is often lacking from the book and may quite possibly not have been issued with it.
- The section on the conquest of Cadiz by Essex (vol. 1, p. 607-619, [1]) was ordered suppressed by Queen Elizabeth in 1599. It comes in the following states: (1) numbered as above, chain lines spaced (a) 20-25mm. apart or (b) 27-30mm. apart. (2) As in (1) but in a photographic facsimile with muddy and flat appearance and chain lines spaced 25-27mm. apart. (3) A reprint of ca. 1720, pages numbered 607-620. (4) A reprint of ca. 1795, pages numbered 607-417 [sic], [1]. (5) Lacking entirely (cancelled).
- Another issue (STC 12626a) has a cancel title page omitting mention of the Cadiz victory.
