- From a hitherto unpublished manuscript quarts in the John Carter Brown library. The first section ("Insularum de la Bermuda detectio") is anonymous, but the editor has been able to identify its author as Richard Norwood. The other two sections, copied from letters written by John Pory, the first dated 1622, relate to Plymouth and the New England coast.
