Gage, as a Dominican friar, went out with a party of Spanish missionaries in 1625. He was thus enabled to compile a book which is remarkable as the first and only extensive work by an English author upon the Spanish Indies as seen from within. After twenty-four years' absence from England, Gage returned home in 1639, and a year later joined the English Church.

Henry Middleton for Richarde Ihones, 1576 40
EXCESSIVELY RARE. Bolton Corney's copy fetched
£46 in 1871, and a badly restored copy (with facsimile
map) brought a long price in a London sale in 1883.
This is the only copy that has passed through my hands;
and there was none in either the Barlow or the Ives
collections. It is an essay to prove the practicability of
the North-West Passage. Gilbert, who was drowned off
Newfoundland in 1583, is renowned as the first English-
man who attempted to found a colony in the New World.
-There is an interesting preface by George Gascoine,
and a Prophetical Sonnet by him concerning the future
fame of Sir Humphrey.

The book is bound up with the First Edition of
"The Worlde or an historicall description of the most
famous kingdomes and commonweales," translated [from
Botero] by IR [Robert Johnson], John Faggard, 1601.
This first edition is a very rare book, unknown to the
bibliographers.
