Online bibliographical references
Note 1Considered by Koeman, quite rightly, to be the first edition of the Second Part of the 'Mirror of Navigation', with 21 charts, showing the coasts of England and Scotland and the Baltic Sea: as such this second part was intended more specially for the mariners of the Netherlands sailing on the Baltic Sea.
Note 2In the letterpress part some pieces from the First Part have been reprinted (Sonnet by Douza; the list of harbours and places; 'Totten leser'; details on the declination of the sun; the privileges; 'Aen den boeckbinder'). Are new: the dedicatory to the States of Holland and West-Friesland, and of course the Table (giving only details on the Second Part).
Note 3The charts show: 1. East coast of England: Norfolk; 2. East coast of England; 3. East coast of England; 4. Coast of Scotland: till Aberdeen; 5. South coast of Norway; 6. South coast of Norway; 7. South coasts of Norway and Sweden; 8. Coast of Denmark: Sconia and Seeland, with the Sont; 9. Coast of Sweden with island Oeland; 10. Coast of Sweden; 11. Coast of Russia and Livonia with Narva; 12. Coast of Livonia; 13. Coast of Livonia with Riga; 14. Coast of Prussia with Danzig; 16. Coast of Pomerania; 17.
