First Dutch translation of the accounts of two travels to Virginia in 1603 from Samuel Purchas' Purchas his pilgrims, here published as part of Van der Aa's Nauwkeurige versameling.

The second is the account of Bartholomew Gilbert who was sent by Sir Walter Raleigh to search for the lost colonists of the Roanoke settlement in North Carolina, then known as Virginia, but was killed by Indians.
