The 1st edition, 1684, antedates v. 1 of the 2d edition by only three months. In the "advertisement to the reader, concerning this second edition" the publisher states that he has compressed the matter into less space by the use of smaller characters and closer typesetting, and has added "some relations which have been imparted ... from good and authentick hands ; wherein are contained several other bold exploits ... performed of late years by the same Bucaniers ... especially since the time that the author ... published his book in Holland. These are comprehended in two or three chapters at the latter end of this second edition, and do chiefly relate unto the adventures of Captain Cook in the year 1678, and ... of Captain Sharp and others." Cf. NUC pre-1956, v. 164, p. 632.
