Lot No. 113 was described as follows:

[Neville (Henry)] The Isle of Pines, or a late Discovery of a fourth

Island in Terra Australis, Incognita, being a True Relation of certain

English persons who in the dayes of Queen Elizabeth, making a Voyage to

the East Indies, were cast away and wracked upon the Island, wanting the

frontispiece, head-line of title and some pagination cut into, Bishop

Kenneths signature on title. sm. 4to S. G. for Allen Banks, 1668.

The pamphlet was sold, I am told, for fourteen shillings,{1} and resold

shortly after to a New York bookseller for fifty-five dollars. He was

attracted by the imprint, which read in full, "London, by S. G. for

Allen Banks and Charles Harper at the Flower-Deluice near Cripplegate

Church." The general appearance of the pamphlet was unlike even the

moderately good issues of the English press, and the "by S. G." not only

did not answer to any London printer of the day, except Sarah Griffin,

"a printer in the Old Bailey,"{2} but was in form and usage exactly what

could be found on a number of the issues of the press of Samuel Green,

of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
