Excerpt from The East and West Indian Mirror, Being an Account of Joris Van Speilbergen's Voyage Round the World (1614-1617) And the Australian Navigations of Jacob Le Maire
The Dutch edition of 1619 of the Spiegel has a number of plates. Each accompanied by descriptive text, this text being always in roman type to distin guish it from the text (in black letter) of the Journals themselves; the difference, too, between the rude, colloquial Dutch of the former and the more polished style of the latter being most marked.2 Immediately after the description of Plate N o. 19 - it would not be misleading to say, accompanying it, as the words.
