•HE Books DEscninED in this Catalogue
are brought to auction, because the proprie-
tors just now prefer the money to their
books. It 13 presumed that the intelh'gent
and discriminating purchasers will prefer the
books to their money. Both parties may be
thus equally benefited by the transaction. Hence an apology
here for the seller would be as mucli out of place as one for
the buj'er. But this Library is so peculiar and so off the
ordinary that some explanation seems desirable for the infor-
mation of the buyers. The same explanation it is hoped may
promote the interest of the sellers, the sale thus being made
to realize Adam Smith's idea of fair trade, a good bargain for
both parties.
The Catalogue is intended to be an alphabetical common-
sense one, according to the well settled rules of bibliography,
but many exceptions have been made to adapt it to circum-
stances and the convenience of sale by auction. Many lots
are misplaced in consequence of the books coming in too late,
and others to avoid as far as possible duplicates being sold the
same day. The titles, especially those in foreign languages,
were written by several hands, and at various times, with
more or less fulness. The editor, therefore, not having, in
most cases, the books before him to refer to, has had some
difficulty in harmonizing and correcting the titles. No one
can know better than himself the imperfections and short-
comings of this Catalogue, but his experience has taught him
1
iv Explanatory
that it is better to let the generous reader have the pleasure
of finding out the mistakes for himself rather than attempt to
indicate and apologize for them. Let him that is free from
errata in his own life point them out and crow. The writer
will reciprocate on opportunity. No man ever yet, he thinks,
printed a catalogue })erfect in the eyes of others. The editor
lias printed enough of them to cause his youthful pride of ac-
curacy to be completely taken out of him, and he is always
willing to help take it out of others by encouraging them in
tiie same laudable labors.
It has become a custom in this enlightened country to em-
phasize, at the expense of the seller, the importance of rare
and valuable books by printing very long titles and filling
out the pages with leads and blank spaces. The editor has
ventured to depart somewhat from this custom, by endeavor-
ing in most cases to render the titles short and concise, and
then lead out the pages with notes in small type. He has
done this for several reasons. First, by printing in two hun-
dred and fifty pages what would otherwise occupy five hun-
dred, the expense is less, which to a frugal mind is equivalent
to virtue. Second, the Catalogue to his eye being more solid
and compact presents a comelier appearance.
Virtue to all complexions givetb grace,
But Virtue grac6d is by a good face.
Third, having in the course of many years of bibliographical
study and research picked up various isolated grains of knowl-
edge respecting the early history, geography, and bibliography
of this Western Hemisphere which he has not found it con-
venient hitherto to book in appropriate places, the writer has
thought it well to pigeon-hole the facts here by inserting notes
short and long in the Catalogue. That he may not be guilty
any longer of the indiscretion of planting his corn where
the crows will pull it up, as heretofore, he has caused to be
printed on the back of the title Uncle Samuel's usual notice
to the crows. To the intelligent collector whose object is to
fill his head, this padding of small type will, it is hoped, be of
Explanatory v
10 offence. The loud and indifferent collector whose noble
jbject is to fill his shelves will doubtless readily pardon and
skip this minion leading.
Fourth, and the previous reasons but lead np to this, because
very considerable proportion of the books described in this
roluino belonged to the library of his late honored father, the
jditor has thought by rendering it a trifle more than an or-
Unary sale catalogue, he might thereby erect an appropriate
land affectionate memorial to one whose memory to him is
[dearer than can well be expressed on cold marble. He has
laimed, therefore, to achieve for his parent a pious monument
[that, in warm and comfortable libraries, long afler his books
[have been dispersed and the sale forgotten, may be referred
to by intelligent bibliographers of American history, and be
consulted by antiquaries with interest and respect. This
Catalogue therefore has been made, after the manner of the
i old Vermont Farmer of Barnet, to stand square on its own
i taps, with a fashion of its own, full of odd titles, quaint con-
ceits, originality, personal anecdote, disjointed historical con-
nections, and general intelligence. Those who knew the
mirth-loving, pains-taking Founder and first President of the
Vermont Historical and Antiquarian Society, it is hoped, will
recognize tlie effigies ; those who did not are asked to take it
on trust, calling to mind that all outside of the ordinary sale
catalogue is intended as a filial memorial
STEPHANI ET AMICORUM.
Henry Stevens, Senior, was born at Barnet, Vermont, on
the 18th day of December, 1791, and died on the old home-
stead, on the 30th of July, 1867, at the age of seventy-five,
leaving his house full of books and historical'manuscripts, the
delight of his youth, the companions of his manhood, and the
solace of his old age. His father was Enos Stevens, who from
the age of twelve to fifteen was three years a captive among
the St Francis Indians of Canada, was one of the original pro-
prietors and first settlers of Barnet under a New Hampshire
Grant, was married at the age of fifty and enriched his State
¥.

with ten Green Mountain Boys and Girls. The father of Enos
was Capt. Phineas Stevens, born at Sudbury, Massachusetts,
in 1707, served his country in the Indian Wars, and in April
1747 defended successfully ' Fort N" Four ' on Connecticut
River against an attack of a large body of French and In-
dians, for which gallant action he was complimented with a
sword by Admiral Sir Charles Knowles, whose fleet was
then in Boston Harbor, the place thenceforward being called
Charlestown, after Sir Charles. He was sent to Canada in
1752, by the Government of Massachusetts Bay, to redeem
captives. Not finding enough of them for his money, and
meeting with a New Hampshire young man named John Stark,
he ventured to buy him on his own account of the Indians
by e.xhanging a Shetland pony for which he paid 515 livres,
and so restored to his friends the future hero of Bennington.
Phineas was the son of Joseph, who was the son of Cyprian,
who was the son of Cyprian senior, who was the son of
Thomas of London, a supporter and friend of the Massachu-
setts Colony, who was the son of Thomas Stevens of Devon-
shire, one of the assignees of Sir Walter Raleigh of his Patent
of Virginia, of March 1585.
To return, Henry and the late Thaddeus Stevens, born
within seven miles of each other, were chums in boyhood at
Peacham Academy, and warm friends through life. Leaving
the Academy at the age of twelve with only a taste of books,
and, as he expi-essed it, graduating at Nature's University,
he became a self-taught man. The eldest of ten children, he
became their guardian and educator. The father of a large
family, he sought only to provide his children with education,
leaving them to hoe their own rows. He was a farmer,
an inn-keeper, a mill-owner, a landlord, and the squire by
courtesy of Stevens Village. An antiquarian and a book col-
lector, his house was the resort of the intelligent. He was a
liberal and public-spirited citizen, a disinterested politician,
an impartial justice, at. industrious representative in the State
Legislature, an obliging postmaster, a promoter of agriculture,
and an advocate of tempei'ance. A kind neighbor, he pastured
Explanatory vii
the widow's cow, protected the fatherless, and annually sup-
plemented his minister-tax with one load of hay and two
bushels of wliite beans. He was a collector and reader of
newspapers, a hoarder of pamphlets, and a gatherer of the un-
considered trifles of the day. He lectured on Temperance, Ag-
riculture, and Education, and contended that Vermont should
be manured all over with school-houses. He was a strong ad-
vocate of internal improvements and domestic manufactures.
Through life he was a wool-grower and a protectionist, and
his clothes were homespun. In knowledge of the statistics of
his county few were his equals, and none was his superior in
the history of his own State and the early Green Mountain
Bovs. He was a confidential acent of the Secretary of the
Treasury at Washington, for collecting information respecting
the New England manufactures, and the State of Vermont
owes to him the collection and arrangement of her Historical
Papers.
Many of his books and historical pamphlets like those from
Washington's library, found their way through the writer into
the library of the British Museum. In February, 1857, some
2000 volumes of Vermont newspapers, 3000 tracts, and many
of his valuable historical manuscripts were burnt with the
State House at Montpelier, an irreparable loss to himself and
to posterity. His widow now possesses about 250 large quarto
and folio volumes of historical manuscripts relating to the New
Hampshire Grants, to Vermont, and to the Controversy with
New York, among which are the Ethan and Ira Allen papers,
the papers of the first three Surveyors-general, miscellaneous
correspondence, etc. All the rest of his library not otherwise
appropriated is included in this Catalogue. In many volumes
will be found his book-plate, comprising the arms of Vermont
over his name and address, and these lines : —
In Paradise, the tree
Of knowledge was the pride ;
By God's supreme decree,
The man who eat — then died.
But Heaven in mercy since
Does him who tastes forgive;
To know, is no offence;
Now, he who eats — shall live.

Legislature. He was no speaker, but generally managed to
carry his point by force of native talent and ingenious sur-
prise. At one time the Legislature was at a dead-lock in the
appointment of some officer and neither party would yield.
The opposition contended that the candidate was not equal
to the place. The gentleman from Barnet gained the floor.
" Mr Speaker," said he, " may I ask if this candidate is the
man who unarmed recently hugged a bear to death." " He
is." " Then, sir, I think he is not the man to flinch under
any circumstances, — he shall have my vote," and amid roars
of laughter the candidate was unanimously elected. Years
after he generally attended the Legislature, a self-elected
member of the Third House. For several years the Third
House was regularly organized and held its daily sessions like
the other two branches. The printed journals and proceed-
ing are full of wit and humor. Mr Stevens was annually
elected chairman of the Committee on Useless Information and
Antiquarian Loiver. With a mind well stored with wise saws
and modern instances he frequently brought down the House
by a knack Samson never dreamed of. His occasional re-
ports are said to have drawn crowds and applause. In his
historical mousings in garrets, among sequestered hen-coops
and old barrels, he chanced to light upon about a bushel of old
Continental and State money, redeemed but never properly
cancelled. This he called his *' Antiquarian Currency," and
with it bought in his travels through the country vast numbers
of old books, papei.3, tracts, etc. Educated in the good old
school of unswerving integrity and no trowsers-pockets, he
could not bear to see the rising generation standing around
the stores, the taverns, and the railway stations, wearing
whiskers, chewing tobacco, with hands in their breeches.
The less hopeless of these youths he delighted to rescue,
his pocket-book the writer found the following : —

In consideration of Twenty Dollars of Antiquarian Money received of
my friend Henry Stevens, I promise upon honor to keep my hands out
of my trowsers-pociceta for the space of two months, except in case of
necessity. W. B. Rich.
Explanatory ix
To the remnants of the library of such a man are added
the remainders of the gatherings of years, from all parts of
Europe and America, of one of his sons ; the whole forming
the unique collection brought together and described in this
Catalogue. It is hardly fair, however, to call this compound
a Library, since it is too miscellaneous, too disintegi'ated, and
too incoherent. But it is just the collection by its dispersion
to help fill important gaps in public and private libraries.
It is in many respects unlike any other collection ever brought
together in this country. The first impulse of a librarian or
bibliographer reading the Catalogue, will most likely be to ask,
if all this remain, what must have been the library before it
vf&s picked f There is scarcely a book herein described that
is not deserving of a place in any of our large public libraries ;
and yet most of the good standard every-day works, such as
" no library should be without," and which everybody wants,
are not here. That is just it. The remainder of a picked
library in this country is frequently found to be equivalent to
a weeded library. The part left is often the best. The Ameri-
can bibliographers and librarians, with notable exceptions, are
gregarious and are inclined to be too imitative, running in
grooves. There is the Obadiah Rich groove, the Ternaux-
Compans groove, and the Ander SchiiFahrt groove. Books
described by these worthies go off like hot cakes, and are
found in dozens of libraries, public and private ; but it is only
the rare cognoscenti, the knowing ones of a thousand, who
ferret out the unknown and undescribed books and secure
them. One may safely assert that not one quarter of the
titles of the books pertaining to the discovery, exploration,
and development of our Continent, are recorded in these and
other manuals. The very fact that a book of this kind is not
so recorded is a sufficient reason why it, like folly, should be
shot as it flies.
One often hears librarians and book collectors talk of
trash, and sees them, not unfrequently, decline as such the
plums of history offered them, because, forsooth, they do not
find them described in their own favorite manuals, or because
i!'!',

X Explanatory
they are translations, or written in a language they cannot
read. Sirs, there is no such thing as trash in our historical
literature, or in the historical literature of any language, so
far as it relates to America. You may, if you please, apply
that disparaging term to a funeral sermon on my grandmother,
and I may, if I please, entertain a like opinion of the one on
yours ; yet both of these documents might very properly be
preserved in the public libraries of a nation whose hopes and
prospects are backed by its genealogy, its biography, and its
history. It is amazing to see how light is the mental pabulum
that best nourishes some minds, while others require nothing
less hearty than the Novum Organon Euconis. No American
probably ever wrote or owned a book so weak but there
might be found another American with a mind just strong
enough to thrive upon it. With these views the writer un-
hesitatingly declares his belief that this collection, well suited
to varying tastes and capacities, is as nearly exempt from
trash as any one probably ever offered by auction to the
American public. The collection is miscellaneous and valua-
ble ; but the proprietors have no twinges of conscience about
breaking it. The books are good ones and generally in good
condition, many well bound and some even in extravagant
bindings, or they are in a good state for binding — large,
clean, and uncut. Some of the books, it is true, are not
adapted to the capacities of all collectors, any more than all
collectors are fitted to possess some of the books ; but the
books on an average are probably of as high a quality as the
average of the collectors. The proprietors, therefore, on
the whole, can with confidence recommend the library (ut
vulgo) as one eminently well calculated for dispersion. In-
complete in itself '1 go far towards completing others, and
filling up those ■ ivenient chinks which every earnest stu-
dent of American history finds in our libraries, and will con-
tinue to find 'jntil librarians and committees turn over a new
leaf, and give iheir attention to the collection of the true sources
of American history, regardless of the language in which thpy
are written, measuring their purchases rather by the capacities
1 1

XI
of their purses and shelves than by their knowledge of the
subjects. It is proverbial that the better and more conscien-
tious of the American historians break down with their labors
before they have collected their materials, or they are driven
abroad to mouse out in foreign countries and foreign lan-
guages what ought to be at home at their service in the
public libraries. It is requiring too much of our historians,
besides their reference books and general tools, to oblige
them to procure for themselves these thousand-and-one ex-
pensive out-of-the-way helps. They should belong to the
public, and should be collected rather than the common
evei'y-day ones, if all cannot be had.
When it is fairly comprehended by our curators, with their
large funds and hungry alcoves, that probably more than five
sixths of all the books pertaining to the discovery, exploration,
and development of our young Hemisphere born since the
Printing-Press, are in the languages of Spain, Portugal, Italy,
Holland, and France, it is not unlikely that even committees
who cannot read a word of these languages, or librarians who
cannot catalogue the b^^' , rather than other Motleys should
be driven abroad i .^ich of what ought to be found at
home, will venture to buy such books on trust, on the new
and growing principle that a public library should lead and
not follow the wants of scholars. The narrow remark, hith-
erto often heard, that Dutch books are not read, and the
Portuguese ones never called for, will probably not much
longer be repeated by librarians who make any pretensions to
the collection of materials of American history. One might
as well attempt to write the history of New England with-
out a knowledge of the English language, as a iiistory of New
York without the Dutch, or of Brazil without the Portu-
guese, of Mexico without the Spanish, or Canada without the
French. A very considerable proportion of our earliest and
best geographical books are in Latin and no other language.
Many of our earliest maps are by German geographers ; and
in order to comprehend their lines and see as they saw, the
modern historian must divest himself of his native shackles,

stand in their shoes, take the same inland views, and study
under the same circumstances. He must read the same re-
ports of the navigators, in the same languages, and he will
most likely by this process see the blunders that very early
confused the geographers, and have since puzzled the histo-
rians. Bring all these books, maps, and languages together,
and the sun will rise. We shall then ascertain our historical
bearings, and know whither and how far we have drifted
these four hundred years. Our moorings to the apron-strings
of the Old World will be cut, and the two hemispheres will
revolve as loving companions and equals in the w^altz of the
spheres. It is difficult at this late day to attempt anything
like a complete collection of the history and literature of the
Old World, but it is unpardonable to neglect that of the
New. The mere difficulty of language is not insurmountable.
Did not an editor of the North American Review learn the
Spanish language that he might write understandingly of the
South American Republics? And would not Southcy's
History of Brazil have been a far better book had he given
the same pi'ominence to the numerous Dutch works on his
subject that he did to the Portuguese ?
Some folks affect to despise translations, and divers edi-
tions. It is not so with the true historian and experienced
researcher. A good translation is itself occasionally a useful
comment on the original work, and moreover, the translator
being often better up in the subject treated than the author
himself, sometimes corrects many errors, and makes valuable
additions. There are dozens of such examples recorded in
this Catalogue, /. ^. see 1^° 878 Hearne, and N° 1562 Pike.
Again, other important books are known to us only through
translations, as N° 460, the Life of Columbus by his son. A
comparison of the English and French editions of N° 249,
Bouquet's Account of the Expedition against the Ohio In-
dians, is a notable instance in favor of the translation, which
contains a valuable Life of Bouquet, not in the original. The
superiority of niany Dutch editions over the original works is
proverbial. The plates and maps are almost always far supe-

rior, and the translator is generally an expert. The. French,
English, German, Spanish, Swedish, and American books
relating to America translated into Dutch are very numerous,
and generally, in some respects, possess points superior to the
originals, insomuch that, as far as the department of Amer-
ican history is concerned, all such books should be accessible
somewhere in America. On the other hand, translations are
important sometimes from their very badness or untrust-
worthiness, and should be preserved in our most important
libraries as a means of tracing to their true source misstate-
ments and falsehoods. How manv misstatements are attrib-
uted to Herrera, which can be traced no nearer that author
than Capt. John Stevens' English translation and abridg-
ment, in six volumes ? It is absolutely necessary to study
this latter book to see where so many English and American
authors have taken incorrect facts. So of ma y French and
German translations which are the parents of errors sworn
on to the original authors.
Worse still, it is not unfrequently necessary for an historian
to be acquainted with a book only to be certain that it is
good for nothing. There are many such in this Catalogue,
and some of them will very properly bring good prices too.
They have good titles, and read well. Such a book is Pe-
ters' History of Connecticut, N" 486, a book of not half
the historical value of Knickerbocker's New York, and with-
out any of its wit. Yet it has often been quoted by French
and German authors as true history. The writer has before
him a remarkable book of this good-for-nothing kind, of ex-
cessive rarity if not unique. It was reprinted some years
ago at Rouen, in fifty copies, which reprint is now almost as
rare as the original. The original will be sought, now that
its title has got into catalogues, as ardently as if it had any
historical value. The title is, " Relation du Voyage des
Dames Religieuses Ursulines de Roijen, a la Nouvelle Orleans.
Parties de France le 22. Fevrier 1727. «fc arrivez a la Loui-
sienne le 23. Juillet de la meme annexe. Les noms desquelles

Explanatory
Small octavo. Chez Antoine le Prevost, Ronen, 1728."
Tiie editor, in behalf of his rumerous notes, historical, bio-
graphical, explanatory, geog/aphical, bibliographical, gossipy,
and personal, desires it to be understood that they are to be
taken at what they are worth, he having given them only
where he had something to say, or some duty to perform either
to himself or to the public, and that they are not designed to
force up the prices of the particular lots to which they are
attached ; but are intended rather to shed a bibliographical
flavor over the entire Catalogue. Most of the better and
rarer lots of known and prime importance are recorded with-
out comment, as Mather's IMagnalia, Hazard's State Papers,
etc., the titles sufficiently explaining themselves. On the
other hand, many of the moi*e elaborate notes, some of them
not complimentary to the books, will cost far more in printing
than the lots will sell for. Neither has he indulged in over-
much bibliographical quiddling about the mechanical and
manufacturing points of the books, as to the quantity of the
paper, the quality of the binding, the brilliancy of impres-
sions, the crushed levant (whatever that new-fangled term
may mean) add the number of copies of certain recent re-
prints, the inertia of which on shelves it is hard to overcome.
It is not easy to convey any adequate idea of a large un-
common collection, like this, short of a patient reading of the
entire Catalogue from end to end. The editor therefore has
exercised his ingenuity to sweeten the labor, and thinks per-
haps it may bait the attention of the indifferent reader to be
informed that in the General Histories of North and South
America there are many works of authors such as Acosta,
Anglerius, Apollonius, Barcia, Barlajus, Benzoni, Clavigero,
Eden, Hazard, Herrera, Labat, Laet, Lafitau, Las Casas, Pe-
ter Martyr, De Solis, Garcilasso de la Vega, etc. In local
and particular history of Colonies, States, cities, towns, vil-
higes and parishes, the titles are too many to specify here.
In bibliography, the reader is invited to consult the Cata-
logue under Asher, Bibliotheca Chethamensis, Blades, Brit-
ish Museum, Catalogues, Collier, Fry, Harrisse, Macray's
Explanatory xv
Bodleian Library, Moule, Nutt, Quaritcli, Rotlielin, Stevens,
Whiting, Boturini, and the notes under several of the Mexi-
can titles. For rare and valuable Manuscripts, he is ref"l*red
to Benedict Arnold's characteristic Autograph Letters from
Ticonderoga, Fay's urgent letter to the Green Mountain
Boys to reinforce General Gates against Burgoyne ; Gorton's
Answer to Morton's New Englands Memorial, the original
Autograph MS written in 1669 ; Riccio's MS account of Her-
nandes' Natural History of New Spain ; and the Original
Book of Minutes of the Corporation for New England in
London for thirty years, 1655-1685, under N" 1399. For
the Indian languages of America, see under Avila, Juan de
la Anunciacion, Mexico, 1575 ; Paredes, Tapia Zenteno, Vil-
legas, etc. Works pertaining to Canada, Acadia, and the
British Provinces generally are numerous, some of which,
as rare as they are important, may be seen under Canada,
Champlain, Charlevoix, Cornutus, Denys, Examen, Henne-
pin, Joutel, LaHontan, LeBeau, LeClercq, LeJeune, Mac-
kenzie, Memoires, Montcalm, Nova Scotia, Relation, Shea's
Publications, Shirley, Tanner, Thevenot, Thevet, Tupper,
and Vimont. Pertaining to New England, California, New
York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, the Mississippi Val-
ley, the Great West and North West, the works are numer-
ous ; and equally so on Mexico, and other parts of Spanish
America, as Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, etc. The works pertain-
I ing to Washington, Franklin, and Hamilton, are well repre-
sented, and so are the departments of early geography and
discovery, atlases, maps, the Indians, slavery, colonies, the old
French War, the Stamp Act, the Revolution, tobacco, statistics,
etc. Though last not least, there is a large number of works
on the natural history of this Continent, not the least curious
of which is N° 243o, wherein the learned author endeavors to
account for the introduction and rapid increase of Asses in
the New World. He says nothinfj however about their beinff
found among either bibliographers or book collectors.

This higiily important Collection of the earliest and best Spanish works on the
Discovery and History of America, has now become exceedingly rare. The
learned and enterprising editor died while tiie various works were passing
through the press. They are all printed as separate and distinct works. Some
of the parts were sold separately and others were not cared for. The labor of
Collection was posthumous. It is therefore ditKcuIt to tell precisely how the
several pieces should be arranged, or what constitutes an entirely complete set,
as the printing occupied more than twenty ye, -s. This set is bound in three
volumer., and contains. Vol. I. 1. The Life of Christopher Columbus by his son
Ferdinand, retranslated into Spanish from the Italian of Alfonso de Ulloa", 128 pp.;
2. The Second, Third and Fourth Relations of Cortes (the first lost) 150 pp. ;

This rare book lias hitherto been vahied by American Collectors, mainly because
it contains an early reprint of the celebrated Letter of Columbus, written from
Lisbon, in March, 1493, to Raphael Sanxis, respecting his discovery by a western
route of certain Islands of India beyond the Ganges. But the collection of these
six documents in one volume has a peculiar appropriateness in exhibiting, in a
striking manner, the grand features of the gigantic struggle of seven hundred
years lietween the Christians and Mohammedans. Mohammedanism witlistood the
Crusades and the subsequent wars, but it yielded after the fall of Granada, when
Columbus gave a new world to Christendom, and the I'ortuguese went forth to
explore and Christianize the East.

fact that it is the earliest book in which there is a full account of the First Voyage
of Columbus, alter the great discoverer's own letter, in 1493. J t passed throngh
many editions, but this is the first in which appears the Chapter iJe quatuor per-
I vwxhilia insulix in india extra orbem niiper inreiitis [per Clirislophurum C'olumhum.]
Anything printed prior to the first Decade of I'eter Martyr, in 1511 is of priceless
value in early American History. This edition though alluded to b\' the learned
French Uibliographer, Monsieur Harrisse, is not described by him, that of 1500
being the first recorded by him.

RAUK IN THIS STATK. 8" Loudon, l()7!)-ir)0o
Tliis volmno is from tlu! library of the late II. T. Hicki.k, bcarin;;; his No.
2,(i2:!, oil liis l)ook|)hitu. On the riy-leaf is carefully pasted, in the haiid-
■writiiifr of Ihickle, an analysis of the voliinie. with a hioKi'aphical .sketch,
be^^inning, "Charles Hloiint was born in ](ir)4, and in KiO-'J shot iiiniself in
cons<'(iiieiice of the absolute refusal of his late wil'e".s sister to marry him."
Coiisiilerable interest attaches to this volume from the fact that it has been
cliar}5e<l upon IvriiAN Allkn that bis Vkumont liim.i;, or Ornrles nf liiason,
printed at Ueiiiiiiif^ton in 1788, was stolen in substance Irom Itlount. It is
not cbarj^ed that Allen ever saw IJlount's Oracles, but that ainoiif; bis frienils
he numbered one Thomas Yoiinp, a free-tbinkiiif;, rovinp Knf;lishnian, who
acted as verier to Hlonnt's monuments, but bad not the courajU'e or power
to book or publish his tenets. In Allen be found a willinfj disciple, ambi-
tious of literary eminence. IJIount believed in (iod, one and indivisible; in
the authenticity of the Scriptures; and in a future state of rewards and pun-
ishments; but denied Oriyinal .Sin. Allen fij;ures up at about the same total.
" Old Ktli:in once said witli ^i^;l)iti(•llnt noil,
Tliout^li 1 linlil not with .Icsiis. 1 know there's a God ;
Thei-'-'s n ilcvil al«o ; you will see him some day,
111 a whirlwiml of tiro take Levi awiiy."
; Blount himself is aciised of stealing; and transiatinf:; his Oracles from a French
book called The llijiHithcMS of the I'rcB-Aildinilcs. Where the anonymous
nulhor stole his Oracles is not stated. In this volume is a f^reat deal, both by
Blount and his editor, about the ri;^ht and wroiifj of marrying a deceased
wife's sii-ter. He would, she wouldn't. So still arguiiif^ from the same
monitor within, and believing, that " I myself am King of Me," siiot himscll';
and hence bis friendly editor's diM'ence of suicide. All these things and much
more, the iiurcbaser of this curious volume, if he tinds the thread, may spin out
by himself.

genealogical trees of harder wood; or can trace more niinutu hi.'ttorical and

scended from some of the early emigrants to (ieorgia, whose names were so
carefully recorded by William Stephens, the First Historian of that Colony.
'Ihese volumes with other early records of (ieorgia, filling 21 folio volumns,
were once, utider promise of secrecy, dejiosiied with the writer for four hours, and
oflered tor £500. lie ottered £300 and lost the ]irizo. When by death the
obligation of secrecy was removed he invited the distinguished baronet who
now jiosscs^es the collection, to breakfast, and communicated to him the circnin-
stances. Within three daj's the collection changed hands, and now slumbers
in the West of luigland. When it shall wake to the public use, this book and
everything else jiertaining to William Stephens will awaken to new interest.

Considerable interest attaches to this vcrj' rare book, in consequence of the
alann that it raised in New England, and the litigation that ensued. The book
itself is Leslie's well known Short and Knsie Mtlhixl, but in reprinting it Check-
ley appended a Discourse concerning Episcopacy, wherein he emleavors to
prove that Dissenters not being Episcopally ordained, are no ministers, etc.,
an<l comments rather harshlv u|K)n the Church (bourses of New England. This
gave great ofltnce and Checkley was prosecuted in 1724 in tin; Inferior Court of
Boston for publishing " a false and scpndalons libel.'' lie was cnnvii'tc!, but
appealed to the Su|)erior Court, where alter a lung si)eecli in his own defence,
the jury brought in a verdict against him. Checkley then put in a " I'lea in ar-
rest of .Judgment," which is given in extenso in his speecli, but the Court seu-
tcnceil him to pay .£.5'^ to the king, and give security fur his good behavior.
The whole storj* is told in the above books, in Thomas's History of I'rinting,
and in Stevens's Xuggets, No. 535.

The interest to New Kn(;1an*lers of this curious book centres not in tlie main
rtibject but in what is incidentally tuld ot' one of her opiritual advisers. Mnt.
I>rake was a half crazed relipous enthusiast, whose spiritual health retjuired
constant wrestling; with Satan and Doctors of Divinity. Possessed of pro{)erty,
her husband pmcured the Kev. Mr. Dod, who for three years disputed con-
stantly with all her temptations and objections, " and was able to answer all,''
but beinf; oblijjed to leave, he bniked about for another helper. '' In which in-
terim, notice was jjiven unto him of one Mr. Hookkk then at Cambridge, now
in New Kngland: A threat .Scholar, an acute Disputant, a strong learned, a wise
modest man. every way rarely qualitied; who being a Xon-confomiitan in
judgment, not willing to tremble hiniselfe with PrtstnUitice Livings, was con-
tented and jiersuaded bv Mr. D<>d to accept of that poore Living of 40^ per
annum; Mr. Drake her ilu>band being a worthy well-beloved (ientlemun, and
able to procure his liberty, and retaine him still in the same: This wurtby man
accepted of the place, having wiihall, his dyet and lodgiiigat Ksher Mr. Drake's
hou>e.'' p. 117. "This man, Mr. Hooker being a good, acute, »HMr/ I'reacher
when be listed, besides that infonnilinn Mr. Dod had given him, was so wise,
first to try her spirit," etc. p. ll'J. " For Mr. Hooker being newly come from
the I'niversity had a new answering methodu (though the same things) where-
with shee was mervellously delighted," etc. p. 120. Mr. Hooker lived long in
this family, till she imagined " her time on earth was but of small continuance.
About which time it fell out, that Mr. Hooker also having acted his part with
her, and done his best, to comtbrt. uphold and rectilie her spirit, so fitting her
for mercy, as nothing remained to l)e done but a full gaile of spintuull winde to
blow upon her, to bring forth her fruit, that by (Jod's providence he was mar-
ried unto her waiting-woman: .\fter which both of them having lived some time
after with her, and he cal'd to be Lecturer at Chelmsford in Ksse.x, they l>oth
left her," etc. These early glimpses of one of the most honored of our New
England fathers, are refreshing.

history, regardless of the language in which they arc written, this ma^^niticent

tlie use of tilt- cliTtrical machine, as set forth in hi>< publication in London ia
1751, liow the matter was immediiitelv taken uy in France and Spain, and fulv
senuciitly in Mexico, particularly in I'uehlo de los Angeles where there is iisuallT
niiicli lightning. The writer dilfers from l-'ranklin and other philosophers as to
the fnrm and shape of the lightning rods. Instead of being pointed or square, u
discussed in the Koyal Society of London, this writer thi'iks the form of a cross
would better secure the desired protection. The Holy Cross always strikes ctr-
tain terror into the malignant spirits of the clouds, so that if Fr'anklln'f »t(«'.
points were arranged in the form of a cross they would become a mure Mcun
protection against tlie insults of the lightning!

" No LiniiARY IS COMPLETE WITHOUT IT."
Some six or eij^ht months after the publication of iliis M(i;imim Opus in New York it
was taken up warmly by the members of the Geographical Societ}' of I'aris, and,
after the manner of that learned IJody, referred to a Connuittee to examine ami
report upon it. The report was drawn up by that distinguished geograplnT,
savant, and man of sense, JI. Khnkst DesjakIh.ns, and read at tlie sitting oltlie
Central ( 'ommission, the 18 Jan. ISti", and published in the Ihdklin of the follow-
ing April. Monsieur "vkuis.sk had permission accorded to him to liave 500
copies struck off separately, at his own expense (Bidktin, p. 40(i). From this
elaborate Report, the following translated extracts will mingle amusement
with instruction. " Permit me, Gentlemen," says M. Desjardins, " to greet with
pleasure, on its ajjpearanco, the fiust wouk of solid kkudition wiiiiii
Ameuicwn Scienck has I'KODUfKD, and which is due to the ])atient refcarth,
to the ardent love of high historical studies, and to the criticism as sagacious as
methodical, of a young savant, ]M. IlAiiiassE, a Frenchman by origin. I am
happy to add that the first duty of your reporter is to render to tin; author, in
the name of the Geographical Society of I'aris, an homage, let us rather say a
justice, which to the present hour, has not been rendered to liim elsewliere tliiui
in France. I am not here to examine for what reason the country to whicli this
usefid work does so much honor has remained indifferent to the publication of
this new and unique repertorj' which will henceforth serve as the necessary guide
to the future historians of the discovery and cou<inest of the New World." ....
" The well known impartiality of our Society makes it my duty to declare at
once that there has not hitherto been published a more useful book for the prep-
aration of the American history of the sixteenth century, and I hasten to add
that this judgment, for it is not a persunal opinion, is already confirmed by the
special men of both worlds, who pass as the best arbiters in these matters, M.
IcAZHALOKT.v of Me.xico, whose most complete approbation without any re-
striction, I have now before me; RI.d'AvE/AC, a judge so competent in learned
bibliography, who has presented M. Harris.se's works to the Academj' of Iiiscrip-
tions and Belles Lettres (Session of the 10th Aug. 1806) accompanying this
Bihliotheca Historica.
73
iretiosa vener-
liomnpe with explanations so luminous and praises so merited; M. Vivifn de
Saint-Ma iiTiN, who reserves to them a worthy place in his Annee iipot/r a plaque ;
M. i,K Due DK MoNTi'ENsiEH, who interests himself so much in the history of
discoveries, and particularl}' in whatever touches Cliristopher Colinnbus ; ISIAI.
Gavanoos and Zakco del Valle, of Madrid, not to cite the favorable testi-
monies of savants who are particularly known to me. M. Harrisse has, as we
see, something in the applause of such. judges to sup|)ort unjust or tlimsy criti-
cism, and to have confidence in a work to which the future belongs." . . . .
" Tiud which cannot enough be praised in this immense woi'k, is the vigorous
nu'thdd which the author has followed, and which it will be permitted to us to
call by its true name, the French Method. He has not lost .«ight, even in his
long dissertations, that he is a bibliograpiier, as such, charged with offering to tiie
eriKlite public all the documents, and accompanying them with their historical
justification, never thinking that he was permitted to set forth his own opinion.
He applied himself to correct all the errors running through the histor}', but iil-
ways in bringing forward proofs by facts, and never conjecture by reasoning.
Every book is described de «««," etc. — " It will be understood that M. Harrisse's
work, in spite of the exceptional interest which tlie numerous dissertations it
comprises present, is not one of those which can be read consecutively and all at
a breath. I shall add that there are very few readers sutKcienfly competent in
each of the branches of American history to discover the errors of a man so
learned as M. Ilarrisse." . ..." I must still add, to be just, that M. Ilar-
risse has a|)plied to the accomplishment of his task as mnch abnegation as zeal
and intelligence. He has given, without pretending to derive from it any ma-
terial t'ruit, all his time to the editing and tyj)(igrai)hical direction of an admira-
ble collection, the Fin.fT spkcijien ok Ameiucan ekupitton, and the repertory
henceforth indispensable to all serious study of the conquest ol^ America," — and
so on through a dozen pages. It will perhaps be an act of simple justice to one
of the half dozen " arbiters " named above to add that he told the writer, that
his iudorsemcnt and recommendation of the book consisted in a bareh' civil
acknowledgment of a presentation copy with a few commonplace compliments.
Me could not, he thought, under the ciicunii-tances, have written less, and
was consefiuently much surprised at the use made of his letter.
As there are two sides to the Atlantic, so there apjiear to l)e two opinions as to the
merits of this book. M. Harrisse througliout his work had played swagger to a
certain Vermonter who had for some time resided abroad, and to whom he was
much indebted. iM. Ilarrisse undertook to befoul him with many untruthful
flings, insomuch that in the London Atlienauni of the Cth of Oct. 18CG, this (i.
M. li. telt it a duty to himself as well as to the public to apply publicly the beech
sv'd, a remedy which the early Green Mountain Hoys always found effectual with
trespassing Yorkers. After bringing him to with a blank cartridge and cur-
sorily examining his papers, and taking poor Andkis Schiffahht under his
protection, this obscure writer concludes his fou'' columns with the following
brief summary. "The book at bottom is not a oadone; but the author has
made it a mere fact-bag and crammed it with no end of extraneous matter.
Like the jackdaw he does not appear to be able to resist anything brii/ht, but
picks it up regardless of its use or relevancy. The style of printing the titles in
(ipimvent facsimile misleads, and is a mistake. The collations are often obscure
and not precise enough. There is a distressing want of uniformity in the orthog-
ra|)liy of names of places and persons. The mis-spelling of names is astound-
ing. It is no exaggeration to sa)' that \\w evvithi of names alone will make a
list of 500. Two persons are made of one ; one is made of two. Some are
created altogether, witness Ander Schifl'ahrt. Chronology is sot rt detiance.
(ieography is obscured. History is in a nuidillo. (Jrainmar and tl e Queen's
Knglish tortured, if not murdered. Arknowlf<igmeiits are generaliy wanting
where most required, and often given where not deserved, 'the index, though
extremely full, is not trustworthy, names being left out of it purposely, or cer-
tainly not by accident. Evidences of bad temper are abundant, and flippant
<!iiigs, which can always be parried. are))lenly. M. Harrisse quotes largely at
second-hand, and omits to mention the books most used. His general and par-
ticular scholarship is lamentably detlcient, liis pedantry and plagiarism manifest,
his want of courtesy to predecessors and fellow-laborers, his spite and obscure
vision as to the wants of others, are api)arent thoughout. These are some of the
faults which should be looked to in a future edition. I hear with feeling akin
to national pride that the author of the Hiiiliotiieca Amkhioana Vkti'stih-
siMA is not an American, and that therefore this book cannot fairly he charged
to American scholarship." One hundred extra copies of this number of the

Samuel Hutchinson, the author of this extraordinary and rare compilation, was a
brother of William, the father of Anne Hutchinson, the ftroMK-niinded of New
England 200 years ago. He was a Fifth-monarchy man, and hns here not only
set fortli his own views both in prose and verse, but has collected the opinions of
competent writers of the old world and the new upon the establisliinent of the
Filth Kingdom, that of Christ, the new Heaven and the new Karlh. His princi-
pal paper is " A Letter sent to a Friend in Old England concerning the I'ersoiial
Monarcliical Keign of Christ with the Saints here upon Karlh, being an Answer
to a Letter sent from Old England to New in 1659." He does not go so far as
a subsequent American writer of tbia latitude, and intimate that New England
is to be the Mew->Jerusalem.

King. Half morocco. 8° London, 1775
Dk. Fkanklin, it is believed, caused this volume to be issued in London, in
January, 1775. Its eflfect was startling, for it proclaimed to the disscriniinuting
British Public (if there was at that time such a body) that the Kn^liisli Inn-
guage had acquired new vigor and clearness in being transplanted to the
Western shores. The pith, point, and force of these Public Papers, astonished
the politicians and statesmen of Westminster, and delighted the friends of the
Colonies. The Original Petition of the Continental Congress to the King
dated Oct. 26, 1774, from which the above was printed, containing the signatures
of (ittj' of the Delegates, after the manner of the Declaration of Independence,
and second only in historical importance to that Document, is now in the pos-
session of the writer, it having been signed in duplicate, one copy being care-
fuli}' preserved by Dr. Franklin, the other sent to the King. The latter copy is
still preserved in the State Paper ottice in London. No copy was retained by
the Congress.

To foiTn a comolete collection of the Relations or annual reports of the Jesuit
missionaries in Canada, on the Korders, and in the Great North West from
about 1630 to 1080 has been the laudable ambition of many American collectors,
but few if any have succeeded. Including the various editions there are nearly
50 volumes. A perfect set is the pom nsinm-um of the American collector. Tin
historical and geographical importance of these volumes cannot well be over-
stated.

An excessively rare tract. The writer J. B. complains " That several of our
American Colonies, as Rhode Island, Conecticut, Kast an<l West .Jersie, I'en-
silvania, &c., are like so many Independent Sovereignties, having the Klection
of Governors, either amongst themselves annually, as Rhode Island, and Con-
ecticut ; or depending on some Persons in England. ... As the Jersies
and I'ensilvania," etc., and are likely to divert Trade from the Mother Country, by
running tobacco and other produce to Scotland, Holland, and elsewhere, con-
trary to the recent laws against piracy, that is illegal trade. He prays Parlia-
ment therefore to "remove all the Calamities that attend these Colonies,
through their want of Unity bv reassuming that part of the Grants pretended
to by the Proprietors of Conecticut, Rhode Island, Kast and West Jersies, Pen-
silvania, etc., bv which they claim the powers of governing, or cliusing Gov-
ernors, and laying them under the immediate direction of the King."

With the Charter of the Society, and an account of its proceedings 1776-7.
Above 100 missionaries were scattered throughout the American Colonies nt
the breaking out of the Rebellion [American Revolution]. The report of their
proceedings in 1776 reads strangely now " In July last, the Congress thought
proper to make an explicit declaration of independence by which all connec-
tion with Great Britain was to be broken off, and the Americans released from
any alliance to our gracious Sovereign." This declaration increased the em-
barrassment of the clergy. To ofliciate publicly, and not pray for the king
and royal family, according to the Liturgy, was against their duty and oath, as
well as dictates of their conscience; thev therefore almost all of them shut
up their churches. '"The venerable Mr. fieach of Newtown in Connecticut is
alone to bo excepted" — and upon being warned of his danger, said with the
firmrii'ss and spirit of a primitive confessor ''that he would do his duty, preach,
and pray for the King 'till the rebels cut out his tongue."

destined to p|ay, a prominent part in the early geofjraphical historj' of this
continent. The editor's real name was Joacliim Watt, born at St Gall, in
Switzerland, November 29, 1484, but educated chiefly at Vienna. Althouffh a
classical scholar, theologian, and poet, he seems to have been an arduous
student of geopraphy. In fact the best books we have on the peograithical
effects of the discoveries of Columbus, Vespucci, the Cabots, Dias, Da Gamn,
Cabral, etc., came from two distinct fraternities of students; the one at St Ui(*,
of whom Philesius was the soul, and the other at Vienna, of whom Vadianus
was the movinf; opirit. It will not be difficult, probably, to show a connection
between these two gymnasiums. Indeed, this volume" helps ns to many im-
portant facts. From St Di^ came the suggestion'to name the Mundui Noius of
Vespucci America, and in 1512 Vadianus, in his letter to Apricola, Jr.. adopts
the snppestion. This letter was printed by Agricola in July, 1514, in small 4to,
and dedicated to their mutual friend Caspar Velius, of Ursina, in Silicia. The
game year Lucas Atlantse, an enterprising publisher of Vienna, announced
as having on his anvils the works of SoMNVa, to be edited by Camera, and
PoMPONius Mkla, by Vadianus. Vadianus finished his large work and it was
published in 1518. In his prolegomena he speaks of the necessity, to a proper
understanding of the subject, of having the prominent places pictured on a map.
Young Apianus, another student at Vienna, was then at work upon his great
map of the world, but this was not finished till 1520, when it appeared with the
SoLiNus of Camers. This map, the first one known with the name America,
was no doubt intended for both the Pomponius Mela and the Solinus. These
two books are uniform in size, and after 1520 were issued together, and the
map when found at all, is usually bound in the middle, between the two.
Vadianus returned to St Gall, his native place, and practiced as a phvsician,
but kept up till long after his interest in geographical studies, tiaving
qunrrplled with Camers, he reedited his Pomponius Mela, and caused it to be
reissued at Basil in 1622 (this edition), inscribing it, in an explanatorj- letter,
dated at St Gall in April, 1521, to his friend, Dr. John Faber. This was the
Faher, a native of Etaples, near Boulop^ne, a mathematician, an astronomer, and
a geographer, who had, with others in 1499 published at Venice that superb
edition of Sacrobosco, posting up cosmography and nautical astronomy to that
date, and who, as Professor at Paris, in 1504, stimulated his young pupil,
Mathias Ringman. to the study of cosmography. Ringman, horn at Schles-
tadt, not far from Strasburg, having read at Paris the letter of Vespucci, trans-
lated by Giocondi. also residing in Paris, found his youthful mind fired by it to
such an extent that on returning home he translated into German and printed
at Strasburg, in August, 1605, Vespucci's letter. Ho soon after travelled into
Italy, from whence he brought back a Greek MS. of Ptolemy, given him by
Pico de Mirandola. This manuscript he took with him to St Di^, in Lorraine,

name Amk'kica. The letter to Affricola, and another tract hy Vadianim, en-
titled iMca nlinuot, ttc, are reprinted in both the editions of Mtla. but the letter
of Apricola to Vadianus is omitted. It is doubtful if AInntsc's Map of 1520. by
Apianus. belongs properly to this edition of 1522, printed at Hnsle, thouph itii
found with it in Oannier's copy bound with Solinus, now in the Brltinh
Museum. Not the least attractive feature of this beautiful volume is the titlf-
page, surrounded by one of Hans Holbein's wood-cut borders, with his well-
Known signature, dated 1519.

This very earnest book (of 284 pages, with 8 preliminary and 2 sequent leaves)
is substantially a defense of the Jesuits, and their conduct and usefulness in
all parts of the world. The author gives a list of above 170 authors whom he
quotes, many of them bearing testimony to the valuable services of the Order
as missionaries among the heathen of both hemispheres. He also enumer-
ates the Popes, and other high officials in the Church, who have testitied in
their favor, and declares that the movement for the suppression of the Order
was instigated by the enemies of true Religion, and is headed by the Devil
in person. This defense is strongly fortified by many historical allusions to
services in the new world from the time of the entrance of the Dominicans
into Mexico in the time of Cortes.

This book seems destined to live the full ape allotted to a lie. Xotliing has more
lives, or is harder to kill than a pood political lie well told, which has once taken
in statesmen, philosophers, and liistonans, whose reputation and interest encour-
age it to snrvive. This little book has in its day played its part on many titages,
and its day seems not j'et over. It has many times been pronounced spurious,
yet there are some who still assert its genuineness <ind defend its authenticity.
So it has been from its publication in March, 1777, and so it probably will be.
It comprises three long letters purporting to be from the Marquis de Montcalm,
Governor-general and Commander-in-cliiof of Canada; the lirst to M. do lier-
ryer, First Commissioner of tlie Marine of France, dated from Montreal, April
4, 1757; the second to the same ])erson, dated also from Montreal, Octolier 1,
1758; and the third to his cousin, iil. de Mole, First President in the I'arlianient
of Franco, dated at the Camp before (.Quebec, August 24, 175'.(, a few days only
before the fall of that stronghold into the hands of the English on the b'Jth of
September, a day forever memorable for its consequences to both Fnglaiul and
France, and the deaths of both of the great Commanders, Montcalm and
WoLFio. The lirst letter occupies thirteen l)ages, nine of which are taken up
with the copy of a letter to Montcalm, from S. J. of l5oston, dated .Tanuary 4,
1757, containing the cream and pith of the whole three letters, which together
fill 28 pages in Kuglish, and the same number in French. Thi.s Hostuii Spy,
whoever he was, apjiears to have been thoroughly well acquainted with the his-
tory, the powers, the aims, the interests, and the proclivities of the several Fng-
lish Colonies, both as to their relations to each other, and individually and
collectivelj' to Mother England. He jjroposes to Montcalm a scheme for under-
mining the power of Great Hritain, by encouraging free trade between France
and the English Colonies indirectly through Canada. He states the case phil-
osophically, based upon well-known facts, and jiredicts almost precisely the
course of events for the next tifteen years. Indeed, S. J. writes precisely such
a letter in 1757, as a man of great intelligence could only write in 1770, or 1775,

5. J. writes, page 3, " The commerce of all the other Colonies might be drawn to
and tixed in Canada; for if you there introduce all kinds of manufactures, espe-
cially your Indian goods, from France, of which the middling class of our plant-
ers are so ridiculously fond ; if you made considerable imports from Franco of
your brandies, wines, and other liquors, you would find drunkards enough in the
colonies to take them oif your hands: thus you would soon ruin liie manufac-
tures of iMigland, which would soon tind no market here, and <>m money would
circulate among your merchants. A double advantage would arise to vou from
, this, since, while you were enriching yourselves, you would be impoverishing
your natural enemies. It is true that I'.ngland, too clearly perceiving her iip-
proaching ruin, would not fail to make heavy and loud complaints. The I'ar-
linment would immediately pass bills to suppress this commerce, so ruinous to
their nation; .... a secret and fraudulent trade may enrich an individual, but

the commerce of an extensive country must bo open, free and unfettered. Let
your Kxcelleucy, from hence, learn to know us." Again on page 5: "Among
us, no act of Parliament, or order from the throne, lias the force of a law, or can
be put in execution, till after it has been agreed to and accepted in our general
assemblies. Though these assemblies have not yet the jiower of makmg our
own laws, yet they have at least the privilege of refusing those which are inju-
rious and ruinous to the countrv; and perhaps the day is not far distant, wlieu
they will reject bills passed in England, though invested with the highest au-
thority. Can you think that the members of these general assemblies will bo
such enemies to themselves and their country, as meanly to submit to the orders
of England, sliould they take it in their lieads to compel us to give them a
guinea, for what we can purchase in Canada, in our own ports, for a penny? "
Speaking of the union of the Colonies, he says, " The planters of the difl'erent
colonies have assembled under one standard, "and thus an acquaintance, connec-
tion, and intercourse are established, and tlie union cemented. An important
step for us, since we now shall, as it were, go hand in hand for the future. Our
rights will be respected, because it would be dangerous to attack them." And
on page 8, " From every circumstance I have the honor to remark to you, it is
easy to foresee that England would not succeed in prohibiting our commerce
with your colony; and I speak this tlui more conlidentiy, as the price of the
counnodities which are brought us from England, begins to be oilensive in the
eves of the multitude, who, even in the midst of war, cry out loudly for procuring
tiiem from some other quarter. If I am not much mistaken, all our colonies, in
less than ten years, will catch tire on this occasion. Indeed, there are hardly any
means of preventing it, since labour is at such an exorbitant rate in England: "a,
necessary event in a country which has enriched itself considerably by com-
merce; and hence follows the consequent rise of manufactures .... although
Canada should escape from the hands of its masters, the day will come, when
tlie high price of English commodities will be such a weight on our colonies, as
to oblige them to have recourse to a stranger; England must then be ruined.
This prophetic event is the more sure, and the sooner to be expected, as the
o|)ulence of our colonies is not everywhere on an equal footing It is un-
reasonable to wb them, by forcing thom to buy, at a higli price, what they can
have almost for nothing. Common interest will unite them, and what will be
the event of it? .... What I dare previously assure you, from a knowledge of
our situation and sentiments, is, that F^nglanll will fail the first victim
This who lives Avill see! "
In transmitting this letter, Montcalm did but little more than endorse its sentiments,
but in his second letter a year later he says, " All these informations, which I
every day receive, confirm me in my opinion that England will one day lose
her Colonies on the Continent of America; and if Canada should then be m the
hands of an able governor, who understands his business, he will have a thou-
sand opportunities of hastening the event ; this is the only advantage wo can
reap, for all it has cost us. As to the English Colonies, there is one essential
point to be considered: they have never yet been taxed, but have always pre-
served that right to themselves. Were they [England] now to attempt it, I
liave certain assurances that the English Colonies would take lire, and the (lame
B
would spread everywhere; which, if properly fed, would embarrass England to
extinguish it."
"tit the most pertinent predictions are in the third letter to .Mr. Mok^ filling nine
pages. " For more than three months has Mr. Wolfe been hanging on my
hands." " Ihe enemy ruins us, but not enriches himself." " Nothing, how-
ever, is less certain: "the taking of Quebec depends on one masterly stroke."
"They are in a condition to give us battle, which I must not refuse, and which
I caniiot hope to gain. General Wolfe, imleed, if he understands his business,
has only to receive our fust lire, and then advancing briskly on my army, &c."
" The event must decide. But of one thing be certain, that 1 proliably sli:ill not
survive the loss of the Colony." " I shall iit least console myself on my defeat,
anil on the loss of the Colony, by the full persuasion that this defeat will one
day serve my country more than a victory, and that the conqueror, in aggran-
dizing himself, will find his tomb the country he gains from us." " All the
English Colonies would long since have shaken off the yoke, each province
would have formed itself into a little indei)endeiit republic, if the fear of seeing the
French nt their door had not been a check upon them. Master (or master, tliey
have preferred their own countrymen to strangers, observing, however, this
maxim, to obev as little as possible; but when Canada shall be conquered, and

the Cannditins and these Colonies become one people, on the first occasion,
when Knffland shall seem to strike at their interest, do you believe, my dear
cousin, that these Colonies will obey? and what would they have to tear t'lonia
revoltV" . . . " but I doubt whether they [the Enjilish) would ever niiike
good a landing. Add too, that in case of a fjeiieral revolt, o\' any part of tliese
Colonies, all the powers of ICurope, secret and jealous enemies of the power of
Kn^land, would at first assist them ])rivately, and then openly, to throw olf ijie
yoke." " If the Knglish make a contiuest thej* are sure to change the constitution
of the countr>', and introduce their own'laws," etc. "Upon this account,
Canada, once taken by the English, would, in a few years sutler much more
from being (breed to be Englisli." " Farewell then to . . . obedience and
fidelity; they would soon be of no use to England, and perhaps the}- would op-
pose her. 1 am so clear in what 1 now assert, that I would not give more tlian
ten years after the conquest of Canada to see it accomplished. See then what
now consoles me, as a Erenchman, for the imminent danger my country runs of
losing this colon}'."
Such is a brief synopsis of this remarkable book, its very prophecies in 1757-59
became the " very historical truth " of 1777, and lorciljly struck homo to tlie
Ministry and the Parliament. It was published in March, '77, Just in the nick
of time to " go to the country " with those two vindictive Acts which drew from
Burke his famous letter, oi' the 3d of April, to the Sherills of Bristol. It was
announced in the Loh(/o« J/nf/asiHe for April, 1777, )). 21(5. witliout comment;
but the Munthlij lievitw of the same month, p. 30G, noticed it rather favorably
and cautiously, beginning, " From these Letters, which appear to us to be gen-
uine, although the liditor is silent," etc. The OeiilkiiKin's Ma(/(izine for Jniy, p.
342, is more explicit," Thatthesagacity of this accomplished (ieneral [Montculm]
was equal to his bravery, appears from the following remarkable prediction,
now fatally verified, ' All the English Colonies would long since have siiaken
off the yoke,' " etc. . . . " The whole," says Mr. Urban, " is well worth pe-
rusal, and shows that M. de Montcaln\ was lain Muxutio ijwiin Martt. — It is
proper to add, that the authenticity of the work was lately attacked in the House
of Lords by Lord Shelburne, but ably defended by Lord &Iansfield." On turning
to the Parliamentary Uegisler, to the celebrated debate in,the House of Lords,
on the SOth of May, opened by the Earl of Chatham, and closed by Lord Abing-
don, two of America's friends, in which debate Earl (iower, the Duke of tlraf-
ton, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Peterborough, Lord Lyttleton, t!ie
Duke of Manchester, Lord Camden, Lord Weymouth, Lord Wycombe [Earl of
Shelburne], Lord Manstield, and Lord Onslow particijiated. Lord .Shelburne
said, speaking of Montcalm's Letters, that they "had been discovered to be a
forgery." But Lord Mansfield said. " He maintained liis former oi)inions, re-
specting the American views of independency; but relied more upon what was
argued in Montcalm's Letters, which he insisted were not spurious." The next
we hear of these Letters a little further alield, is a settler from the Earl of Aliing-
don, printed at Oxford in June, in his Tliouijidsoii the Letter of Kilmwul Jiiirke,
p. 56, " To get rid of these .stumbling blocks of ugt/ressorshlp [who threw the
first stone] something was to be devised; and this something was, that America
meant to become independent of this country. But how was this to be sup-
ported y The learned Lord [Mansfield] proved it by innuendoes, by say'uKjs and
doiiiys, (I jirim-i, out of the American Assemblies, from Slontcalm's Letters,
which have beeu found to be forgeries," etc.
Still later, on the titlh of March, 1778, Just eight years to a day atlter the Boston
Massacre, in another great debate, in the House of Lords, on the Reconciliation
Bills, Earl Temple (no great authority it is true), who had boxed the compass
of opinion, said " he believed America had aime(t ;u independency from tiie
beginning, etc He had another strong reason to confirm him in the
same way of thinking, that was, the pointed observations contained in the letters
attril)uted to Monsieur Montcalm, which indeed bear the stamp of prediction,
more than hypothetical reasoning. He observed, that the authenticity of those let-
ters had been often disputed ; but he could afhrm, that he saw them m manuscript
among the papers of a minister now deceased, long before they made their
appearance in print, and at a time when American independency was in the
contemplation of a very few persons indeed With regard to the
right of Great Britain to exact a revenue from America, I never entertained a
doubt of it, nor that the colonies secretly looked forward to independency. The
letters I have already alluded to prove it."
No judgment could be based ou the character of the publisher, for Almon, the pub-

lislier of the Remtmln'ancery was one who printed for all parties, and for and against
America. For some time the fjeneral impression remuiiied that the Montcalm,
like tlie Washington letters publiHhed the sHme year, were spurious. In 1835 Mr.
Kich recorded the book with the remark — " If these letters are Keiuiine. tbey
show that M. de Montcalm had a verv correct presentiment of what would bo
the consequence of attempting to tax tlie Colonies." In 1844, while engnped in
looking up materials for a history of the old French AVar, the writer well recol-
lecls discussing the character of the letters with Mr. Sparks, who unliesita-
tinglv pronounced them spurious. Mr. Rancroft was of the same opinion. The
use of I lie word }ilimUr$ by S. J. is strong evidence that he was not a liostonian.
In 1858 appeared a volume entitled Tht Plains of Abrahavt ; A'('^•» miijinnl and
wkcted. ByH, Col. Bentson, C. K. 8° Gibrnkar, Garrison Press, 1858, miide up
p«rtly of extracts from these Montcalm letters. Col. Keatson appears to have had
no sii!'|)icion that their genuineness had ever been doubted. Th's Gibraltar book
falling into the hands of Thomas Ciirlyle. while achieving the Li'e of Frederick
of Prussia, seduced the great Philosopher of CheNea into a chartning episode
of eight or ten pages (Vol. V, Lond. Ed. pp. 556-563, published in March 1865)
in which .Montcalm shines as a great prophet. Writes Thomas, "Colonel
Beatson in his recent Pamphlet, The Plains of Abraham, — which, especially on
the military side, is distressingly ignorant and shallow, though not intentionally
incorrect anywhere, — gives extracts from a Letter of Montcalm's ('Quebec,
24th August, 1759 ') which is highly worth reading, had we room. It predicts
to a hair's breadth not only the way ' Mr. Wolfe, if he understands his trade, will
take to beat and ruin me if we meet in tight;' but also, — with a sagacity
singular to look at in the years 1775-77, and perhaps still more in the years
18B0-63, — what will be the consequences to those unruly English, Colonial and
other. ' If he beat me here. France has lost America' utterly ' thinks Mont-
calm:' Yes; — and one's only consolation is. In ten years farther America will
be in revolt against England.' " Mr. Carlyle did not succeed in finding this
original edition by Almon, "which is not," wrote he, "in the British Museum
Library, on applying: and seems to be a forgotten book." Mr. Carlyle will
doubtless, on further inquiry, in a future edition, decide to cut out this episode,
interesting as it is, as he did another on another occasion, in another book, as a
sacrilice to Truth, or tapping the bottom of his tub with an explanatory note,
after the manner of latter-day history, let the spirit of it drizzle away unseen.
In Sept. 1865, the writer's attention was called to thi§ episode by Professor New-
ton of Cambridge, while at Fryston Hall in Yorkshire, when he "at once recounted
the history of the Montcalm Vorgery, and the whole subject was discussed by
Lord Houghton (whose acquaintance with the historv of literary forgeries is very
extensive) Mr. William E. Forster, M. P., Prof. Newton sind others. The writer
then undertook to write out the story for the generous public, but on returning to
London no copy of the " forgotten book" could be found in London or Oxford
for many montfis.
Now the writer is aware that all this narrative, being mostly negative testimony,
does not demonstrate that the letters are forgeries, but it seems to him to place
the whole nic.tter in such a pv>sition that hardly anything short of the actual
proiluetion of the original autograph letters of the old Marquis de Montcalm will
establish their authenticity. Earl Temple might have senn the letters, as he said,
" in inunnscript among the papers of a minister now [1778] deceased, long before
they made their appearance in print" [17771. This " long betbre " may have
been alter the passage of the Boston Port Bill in 1774, and tliose letters, if now
produced, might not be in the handwriting of Montcalm. It was reserved
for Mr. Francis Parkman, the historian, in la6!), to very nearly settle the ques-
tion of the likelihood of the originals ever turning up. While at Paris in
the spring of that year he had interviews with the present Marquis de Montcalm,
who showed him many letters of his ancestor, and among them the letter ri
the 26th August to M. ^Iok'. Mr. Parkman took a copy of it uiuler the impression
that it was in the autograph of the old Marquis, but subsequent correspondence
with the present Marquis .showed that the letter is not in the handwriting of
his ancestor, thus knocking away what may perhaps be considered the last prop
of the authenticity of the letters. Thi .. who wish to pursue the subject further
are referred to the admirable paper tilling 17 pages in the PriHttiliiiysof //»«
Mass'ichtisetls /listorical Society (or June, July, and August 1860, pp. 112-128,
published in December, to all reasonable appearances settling the question. A
good thing too that the question is now settled, 'or since the new life given to the
fiction by .Mr. Carlyle, it has found its way into Maunder and other biographical
dictionaries and into encyclopedias, at the expense of the Truth of History.

came popular, and the entire edition was soon upread. The book, read in the light
of to-daj' in this country, is an uncommon curiosity, more provocative of Bmiles
than frowns. A good nuniher of the poems aiul poetical epistles, as well as
some of the occasional pieces in prose, were written during the Poet's travels in
America. His own youthful importance scnis to have been dwarfed for the
first time in his life by Niagara, and hence his dislike to the whole country.
He was nowhere properly appreciated, not even in Washington, with its Tiber,
and streets of magniliceut distances, but in Canada he stood on his own soil
[dirtl and threw it, and felt happier. Some of his liner poems, as, for instance,
the Canadian Boat Song, are in this volimie, but they are so mixed up with
Tom Moore unrefined, that the volume as a whole is an unfortunate monument
to the great Irish Poet. He wrote spitefidly, and shortly after, on publishing his
volume, at three times the ordinary price, wrote in his preface, respecting
his productions in America, " And though prudence might have dictated gentler
language, Iruthj I think, would have justilied severer." He lived to think dif-
ferently. In his last illness, on receiving from the writer a box of Boston
Crackers, the aged I'oet sent back words of thanks, adding plaj'fully, that he
never enjoyed anything with better relish, except perhaps the news that his
Poems had' been reprinted in America, and were read with interest on the banks
of the Ohio.

Raue and impoktant. The above title conveys no adequate idea of the con-
tents of this very interesting book. Tlie first part is a statement of affairs, and
an analysis of them, from tiie Peace of Utrecht, till some months after Uraddock's
Defeat." The second part contains the Original Documents or Vouchers for the
Narratives. Thiise comprise the memorials and letters that passed between the
English and French otKcers in Canada and Nova Scotia, and other English colo-
nies, especially on the Ohio, from 1751 to 1755, including the chief papers that
fell into the hands of the French after the surrender of Fort Necesiity, and
Braddock's Defeat, such as Washington's Journal and Letters, Stobo's T.etter'to
Washington, Braddock's Letters etc., etc., some of which papers ar« re-transla-
tious from the French. The bookisdeservingofthecompliment of anew edition.

The above are two of the best editions of this most extraordinary work ; a com-
plete biograpliy of the Viuoin, giving tlie most minute and authentic details
of her life, and as it is asserted, written by a special revelation. It records facts,
dates, events, and divers proceedings, such for instance as the visit of the Vir-
gin to Santiago, the fights between her body-guard of two angels and the devil,
who vainly endeavored to impede her progress. One of these angels after-
wards served in the guard of the JIadre Agkkoa. Tho work narrowly escaped
the Index, for it was at tirst bitterly opposed by many of the Church, and 03
warmly advocated by others. At first it was condemned by the Inquisition, but
afterwards was licensed. Many works have been written for and against it. Fi-
nally it triumphed over all its enemies, and is now received as thoroughly ortho-
dox" It is a standard work in the libraries of almost all the Convents of Catho-
lic countries. Both editions are now fortified with page after page of licenses,
approvals, and recommendations.

This beautiful book comprises a Rvstem of Political Economy, calculated for the
meridinn of the Kingdom of Old Castile. It is most intercstinj; and contains
incidentally many allusions to America and its influence upon Spain. The au-
thor considers in liis seventh and ei{;hth Discourses the two great causes of
the Decrease of Population of Spain, and particularly Castile. The one is the
Expulsion of the Moors and the .lews, and the other'is the new Discoveries and
Colonies in America. The title-page designed by F. Agus. Leonardo, and en-
graved bv Alardo de Pompa is peculiar, being an archifecturiil design sur-
mounted by the arms of Leon and Castile supported on either side by figures of
Wisdom and Prudence, while between columns one on each side stand portraits
of the two brothers of the author: Alonso Mena Navarrete the eldest brother,
and Alonso Navarrete, proto-Martyr, both of the Order of Saint Domingo in
Japan.

when all these memories are brought home to our business and bosoms, perhaps
some other Cor/n>ralion in New Hnnland vi'iW see enough in the Volume to secure
it, and give to the world, through the press, its contents in a neat volume, and
80 repay an instalment of the interest on the great debt of gratitude so lonK
over-due to that brave Old Cromwellian Corporation. This volume has long
sued in vain for appreciation and a home in this countrv, like the Ilakluyt Man-
uscript of 1584, the Walter Ludd of 1507, the Logbook of Capt. Luke Foxe, the
I)inwiddie and Washington Papers of 1751-1758, the Private Record Book of
I)ieskau and Montcalm of 1755-1759, and honest old Gorton's answer to Morton
in 1(561). As tlie_v become lost to America they become precious and worthy of
printing. It is impossible to give any adequate idea of the value of this volume
uv a mere description, for though it contains much that is now irrelevant to
New Kngland history, vet it all illustrates the history of the Corporation. A few
extracts may interest tlie reader.

Don Francisco has made a very amusing book, if not absolutely instructive. It
was compiled niainlv from the best English authors, with a careful examination
of standard maps and charts. It was just in th« time of the American Revolu-
tion, when Franklin was in Paris, Adams in Holland, and Jay in Madrid.
Everybody in Spain was thirstinj^ for reliiible topographical and "geographical
information. Thin work was intended to supply just what was wanted. As o fair
1 sample of the topography we give this brief extract from Chapter V. devoted

This large collection of Voyages, compiled by J. Iluttich, and edited by Simon
Gryna;u8, with a Geographical Preface by Sebastian Munster. all of the old
University of Basle, at the expense of a Jo. Hervagius, a IJasil Publisher,
should find a place in every public library, inasmuch as the original editions of
the Papers of which it is made up, are now almost unfmdable. Considering
the date of the tirst edition of 15312, the reader should study some of the voy-
ages with both of his eyes open, the one to detect the mistranslations aud the
other the misconceptions of inland geographers, who misread the reports of the
navigators. The volume contains, 1. The voyages of Cadaniosto down the
coast of Africa in 1454-1455 ; 2. The lirst three voyages of Columbus, 141)2-
1498 ; 3. Of Vincent Pinzon to Brazil in 1499; 4. 'iTlie four voyages of Ves-
pucci, 1497-1504 ; 5. Of Pedro Alvarez Cabral, 1500-1501; 6. Letter of King
Emanuel to Leo X respecting the discoveries of the Portuguese in India, 1513 j

First and kxcessively kake kuition, in Dutch, almost unknown to biblioR-
rapliers. Thoufjli the first Latin cilition bears tiie date of ITiTO, and may have
seen the li^ht a sliort time liofore this, ret tliere are evidences tliat tliis Dutch
edition was tlie one in whieli the work was composed. The maps are precisely
the same in the two. There were several other editions in Latin between 1570
and IfiOO with new maps, and retouches of the orifjinal ones, some dated, and
others not, so that one (eels not entirely safe in investij^atinj; the earliest geog-
raphy of America till ho can eye this o"r the Latin of 1570, or both. A thorough
study of Ortelius is of the last importance to the student of the geography of the
western hemisplierc. He was a bibliographer, a cartographer, and an anti-
quarian, as well as a good mathematicinn and geographer, and what is of
infinite importance to us now, he gave his autiiorities. Many of the rampant
errors that disturb and puzzle us can be treed and flayed by the help of Orte-
lius. It was Ortelius' famous list of authorities that first gave to Humboldt
the hint that Hylacomilus and Waldseemuller were ono and the same person,
the key to his investigations upon the St Dit- fraternity, and the Vespucci
voyages. When in 1802 that other valuable key, "Walter Lud's Orhis Specu-
lum, printed in 1507, was discovered by the writer, and found to disclose the
secrets of several of the St Dii' books, and when he could tind no record of it
elsewhere, he was delighted to find that it had not escaped Ortelius, but was
recorded by him under the title, (iUAI.tekus Luoovicus. The book by Lud
explained this reference, and gave us still more conlidence in the List though
there are still other books recorded in it of which bibliographers as yet know
nothing.

This is perhaps tlie rarest and oddest of nil the American Hooks of I'oetrj'. The
present cony is in fine condition in the original red morocco, gilt edges, bonriiig
on the fly-leaf in the handwriting of Colonel I'arke, the following inscription:
"To the Honorable Kobert Morris, Ks(i. Member of the General Asi^Mnblvof
this Commonwealth, from his very humble Serv'. The Author. Philadelpliia,
Feb. 10, 1787." It cnnic from the liijrary of the late K. I). Ingralinni, who
wrote on another fly-leaf, " For an account of .John I'arke, the author of this
volume, see Mr. Fisher's ' /■>(»•((/ Poets, etc. of Peiinsylvama,'' Mem. I'enn. Hist.
Society, Vol. 2, part 2, p. 100." The work is dedicated to General Washington,
has a learned preface addressed to the subscribers whose names fill sixteen
pages, and a Life of Horace inscribed to Dr. Franklin. It is adorned with an
extraordinary frontispiece designed by Peter Mnrkoe, of Philadelphia, and en-
graved by ./ames P. Malcom. Parke was a Delaware poet, born about nnO,
educated in the College of Philadelphia, in 17fi8, entered the army at the 1)pgin-
ning of the war, and was probably attiiched to Washington's Division. His Odes
(for they are not Horace's), are dated from 1709 to 178(!, at various places, as
I'hiladelphia, Newcastle, Head Quarters, Clove, Arundel, Camp at Middlebrook,
Dover, \ alley Forge, Boston, New London, Brandywine, Roxburj*, New York,
Brunswick, Cambridge, Baltimore, etc. etc. generally in Camp at Ilitad (iuar-
ters, and are inscribed to almost all the officers of the army, and prominent men
and women of the countrj', not forgetting even his personal friends the servants.
Epode X, To Ma;vius is "addressed to His Excellency the Right Honomblc-
John Eaui. of Dunmoue, late Governor of Virginia, Pirate, Kidnapper, and
Negro Merchant, on his departure for England."

illustrative of Mexican character, satirizing the I'aulls of the people, but nhvav!
true to liljcral and republican principles. This copy has his portrait inserted.
The CO lithographs illustrating the work are sjiiritod and amusing. Liaardi wm

Tliis is one of the inipudcntest bonks known. The author's real nanu- was Cas-
par riautus, a monk at Lintz in Austria. In the most fulsome style, undur his
assumed name of I'hiloponus, he inscribes the work to himself In n lonf; and
highly complimentary Dedication. He accuses the DeUrys, in their great col-
lection of Voj'afces, of tolling outrageous lies, forgetting apparently his own
whackers. One of the ]ilates represents a ship stranded on the back of an enor-
mous whale. The sailors could not get her ofl" until the monks on board de-
scended from the ship to baliena-firma and with full ceremony performed the
grand mass, -whereupon the monster descended gently and all were atloat again.

If these well-known PosTiLLS OF Guillermus are growing a little out of date
among theologians, this, edition is becoming much f^oiiglit for l>y lovers of
ancient art in consequence of its being adorned with a beautiful title-page, one
large cut, and 156 small wood-cuts, nearly all of them bearing the signature of
the celebrated wood engraver Uiise Uuafk. These small cuts, measuring
almut li bv IJ inches, are very spirited, and clever. They represent cliieHj' the
events in the life of our Saviour and his Apostles. .Some few of the cuts are
not signed and some of them are repeated, but on the whole, this book is a
mine of beauty of design. Few artists of his day surpassed in fertility of genius

Very fine large clean copy. Vellum. Folio, Genoa, 1516
James thk Antiquaky of Milan, in April 1506, suggested to the Dominican
monk Uiustiiiiani of Genoa, then 3(i years of ag«, to occupy liis leisure
(otium cum negotio) in collecting, colliiting, and publishing in one volume
the I'salnis of David, in Hebrew, Greek, Arauie, and Chaldean, (ogethur wiih
three of the best I.utin versions extant, and with comments of his own. Ten
years were devoted to this great work, and the present volume, the tirst Poly-
glot of the I'saims, was the result. It is inscribed to Leo X by Giustinia'ni
from Genoa in August 1516. In the notes there are several historical and
geographical references to contemporary events of considerable interest, such
as tliat to I's. 2i), v. 6, where he interprets the unicorn to be a rhinoceros, and
says that he had seen a picture of one lately brought to the King of I'urtugal
from India. But the most interesting of all the notes is the very long one on
the 4tli verse of the xix Psalm, wherein Giustiniani gives an account of the life
and voyages of his fellow-townsman Columbus. There are several points in this
notice which we do not find elsewhere printed so early, especially respecting the
second voyage, and the Survey of the south side of Cuba, as far as Kvange-
lista in May and June, 1404. Almost all other accounts of the Second Voy-
age, except that of liernaldez, end before this Cuba exploring expedition.
Ferdinand Columbus accuses Giustiniani of telling fourteen lies m this paper,
but they are small ones.

A lliiok of the highest interest for the modern history of Mexico. Ily the ocle-
hratcd Hamxi, of the 2J')th June, 1812, the clergy who joined the Kebellion
were ordcrttl to l)e pimished like other chiefs of the Army of Inilepeiideriie.
On the titli of .Inly following the insurgent clergy cliiim their old inunuiiily. It
is the olijcct of this liook toconihat that claim. All history, sacicd and profi'.ne,
is ransacked for precetlents. Kvery rehcllion, from that successful one of
I.iu-ifcr down, is liiid under contrihution for authorities and e\ann)les. The
Jlihie, the councils, the fathers, the <loctors, and the bislmns, in trciniiidous hilplio-
graphi( ill array, arc quoted and referred to. As a bibliogmjihy of the subject

rrobably no monarch ever had erected to him in honor of his accfssion to the
throne such a tower of brilliants as this volume contains in honor nf Ferdinand
the VI of Spain. The whole University of Mexico, the Athens of the new
world, as they delight to call it, seems to have conspired to outdo tiiid overleap
itself by ingenious trifling in prose and verse, aiKl prosy ver-e. 'I'he volume
is tilled with epigrams, [Milygrams, roundrobins, riPin:incps, ^'ratnliitions, diritiches,
octaves, tentaves, puns, jokes, redondillas, anagrams, programs, elironograms,
puzzles, catches, drolls, bbus.ropliedons, sonnets, odes, acrostics, double acrovtics,
treble acrostics, stnn/.as, suns (v. pp. 40-41). saphics, a-Tostics ot' letters, acros-
tics of syllables, acrostics of words, poems of whole liiU's, half Hues, first halves,
last halves, up-rcadings, down-readings, to be read to the Icif r.l' us. and to the
right of us, in Latin and iSpanisli, in sense, in nonsense, indeed, in everything
but common sense. The university of Mexico seems on that occasion to have
thrown its entire Faculty into wit, with a solemn detennination to express all
the wit it had, even if compelled to live witless ever at^ter.

Thf result of this grand Cromwellian expedition of 10,000 men under Gen. Vena-
bles and Admiral Penn (the father of our William), was the acquisition of
Jamaica to the Knulish Commonwealth. The (ilorv of God, the Propagation
of the Gospel, and the disconititure of the wicked of a Kalse Cliurcli, were
the hi(;li-suunding rallying cries, while private pains, wholesale thievings,
unchridtian sellish cruelties, out-Spanishinp the Spanish iniquities of the pre-
vious centiirv, were the mainsprings of action. They aimed at Uispaniola and
Cuba, and barely secured .lamaica. This tract fills an important gap in tha
hiiitoryof En.;liith possession in the West Indies.

absurdity about some of the Kcenes truly laughable. Witness the murder of the

tains in the background (p. 33), and the coronation scene (p.73)whcre Hesalines
is reprenented ' high on a throne' with \m loyal supporters of sable hue on

arable from the i>olitical, history* of Mexico, C8[>ecially so far as the manage-
ment and education of the Indians intrusted to the misiiioiiaries of the Order
of St Augustiu are concerned. The large nuinlier of the earliest and rarest
looks relating to New Spain, referred to and quoted in this work, renders it
indispensable to tiie historian. It is furthermore replete with biographical notes

Leather, and sole, with p11 the honest stitches he

4° Printed by J. D. ^ R I. for Stephen Boictell, Lond. 1647
There '<vere five distinct editions, with considerable altcrntions and additions, of
this wittv work issued in the year 1647, the first two without the edition being
indicated, followed by the 2d, 3d and 4th. This third edition, as far as the ex-
perience of the writer goes, is the most difficult of the five to find.

Of the three impressions of the large map of Virj^inia, first published in 1612,
this is the second, and the right one for this edition, before Spnrket Point was
put in. Of the nine editions of the map of New England, with the portrait of
Cnpt. Smith this is the third, before the portrait was retouched, before Charlei
River was extenfled, and before Salem and Boston were put in. Very fevr
copies of the editions of 1624, 1626, and 1627 have all the right maps. Tha
plate of the map of New England was much altered after 1627, and names of
places added which were not given till 162S, 1630, or later. It is very important
to have the right maps, corresponding to the date of the edition.

but only such books as the author happened to possess at that time. It was in-
tended to supply the deticiences by additional volumes, but these have never

Of this book one may read in the last Aug. No of the Ilittorical Mafjazine, p.
106 : " This curiously-constructed volume opens with an Introduction [by Simon
Stevens, President of the Tehuantepec Railway Company] in which the char-
acter of the LaSere Grant [of 1869] for a right of way, from ocean to ocean, is
carefully described ; with copies of the Charters granted by Mexico and Ver-
mont ; and specifications of the proposed work. Then follow, what possess most
interest to us, — HUtorical and Geoaraphical Notes, 1453-1869, the former by
Henry Stevens, the widely-known Bibliopole of London; the latter bv some
unknown hand. The whole is elaborately illustrated with Maps and I^ngrav-
ings; and, typographically considered, it is a volume of great beautv. In his
Historical Notes, Mr. Henry Stevens has briefly glanced on the Old ^V■orId as it
was four hundred years ago" — and traced tte progress of discovery and ex-
ploration down to 15-30, especially so far as it pertained to the New World and
Its development and gradual recognition as an independent hemisphere. He
treats of tne earliest maps, the mistakes of the navigators, the blunders of the
geographers, etc. etc. and endeavors to show for the ilrst time on record, that
the coast lines originally laid down as the north-eastern coast of Asia was after-
wards adopted as the eastern coast of North America. The effect of this dis-
covery, if maintained, must considerably modify our previously-conceived no-
tions as to our earl^ geography, chronology, and history. The above-named
article concludes with : — " Such a paper, sandwiched in « prospectus for a new
railway, is as unusual as it is judicious. The volume whicn contains it will bo
■ought for and perused by hundreds who would not otherwise have cared for it;

This rare and highly important collection of Letters from the Jesuit Mission-
ariet in all piirts of the World, deserves to be better known to the American
historians. It is the great repertory of these valuable Letters. Not only are
all the celebrated Letlres Edijiantes translated and incorporated info this Ger-
man Compilation, but very man}' more are added, so that it becomes the great
storehouse of topography, history and geopraphy of India, China, Japan,
Borneo, Persia, Turkey, and the whole of the Western hemisphere. There are
letters from every part of North and South America, and especially the more
remote provinces of Mexico, of California, Brazil, Peru, Quito, and Paraguay;
nor do we fail to find letters from Canada and the Eastern Provinces; Maine,
Kew York, the Great West and the Valley of the Mississippi. The historical
mouser who has waded through Stiicklein, must necessarily have accumulated
details which cannot be found elsewhere.

Folio, Isaac Thompson, Newcastle upon Tyne, 1747
The above title gives no indication of the value of this book for American his-
torj' and biography. The author was a shrewd, sharp-witted Quaker, born in
the north of England; had his eye-teeth cut while in the Church of Knglund
before he seceded and joined the Quakers. After travelling in Scotland and
round about, he drifted towards London in 1697, where he had the good fortune
to make the acquaintance of William Penn. Their intimacj' M)on ripened into
friendship, and in the autumn of 1608, Storj* embarked at London for Penn-
sylvania. The next year he made a progress through New Jersey, New York
City, Long Island, Connecticut, Rhode Island, to Boston and vicinity, and even
into New Hampshire, spreading everywhere the true light of Truth and con-
founding the Priests. He interviewed KoUon-God Cotton of Sandwich, and
spiced him well. He is particularly racy about the laws of Connecticut and
Massachusetts. "Such is the great Uondage and Slavery that People are in to
their hired Preachers, who had noosed them into a Law of their own making,
destructive of the Liberty of their Consciences and Civil Rights," etc. He
found himself again in I'hiladelphia at the beginning of the year 1700, ready
to return to England; but William Penn, appreciating his abilities, oft'ere'd
many inducements to him to remain. He became a member of the Governor's
Council, the Keeper of the Great Seal, the Master of the Rolls, the Recorder
of Deeds, and one of the Commissioners of Property. On the granting of a
Charter about this time to the inhabitants of Philadelphia, erecting it into a
City, Story was appointed the First Recorder. Soon alter he again travelled
to New England and elsewhere at the North, and into Virginia and Carolina at
the South. In 1706 he married a daughter of Edward Shippen, of Philadelphia,
formerly of Boston. He remained in the Government of Pennsylvania till 1708,
when he went to the West Indies and thence to England. Altogether nearly
300 pages of this work are occupied by the author's travels and labors, polit-
ical and pious, in America. Indeed, it is the largest book of Travels in what is
now the United States up to this time, 1708.

ways at his Tryal. The dreadful Sentence pronounced against

Victor Hugo, in his recent novel, " L'homme qui rit," describing the horrors of
the Press-house of Ntwyate, has brought the subject of this little book into ter-
rible prominence. That author, so far as the scenes are laid in England, pro-
fesses that he has not exceeded the reality, and that he has not gone beyond
the letter of the law or the not unfl-equent practice of the courts. Yet he has
portrayed scenes of torture in Protestant England that were rarely or never
exceeded by the Inquisition of Spain. The London Times of the 14lh of
last October, in reviewing M. Hugo's book, asserts that the author has disre-
garded history, and introduced scenes which it is impossible to believe could
nave ever taken place in England. A week later, in the London Telegraph,
of the 22d October, Mr. Swinburne, tlie poet, comes out in an able and per-
fectly convincing defense of his French friend, and shows that it was the com-
mon practice, when a prisoner of a certain class refused to plead, to condemn
him to the torture of the jxress till death, or till he consented to plead. Mr.
Swinburne alludes to this case of Major Strangwayes as the last case of one
d3'ing under this torture, about the middle of the 18th century. He was
herein mistaken one century, as to Major Strangwayes, but there was a case in
1720, of Spiggott who submitted to the press with much courage for some
time, but finally yielded, plead, lived awhile, and died a wretch in body and
soul, two or three years later. Several papers have appeared in England on
this subject within the last few years, but this original account seems to be little
known, while at the same time it gives important details, and far exceeds in
otKcial horrors anything written oy M. Hugo or Mr. Swinburne. The high
social position of the murderer and the murdered, and the whole chain of cir-
cumstantial evidence, are given in full in this contemporary account. For
reasons which he deemed suiticient. Major Strangwayes refused to plead when
brought betbre the court, and " persisting in his first resolution not to plead,
tiears from the offended court thts dreadful sentence : —
" 77(a( the Prisoner be sent to the place from whence he came; and that he be put
into u inean Bouse stopped from any Light ; and that he tie laid uijon bis Back,
with his Body bare, savinff something to cover his Privy part* ; That his Arvis
shall be stretched foi-th with a Cord, the one to one tide of the Pi'ison, the other
to the other side of the Prison ; am in like manner shall his Legs be used: Ami
that upon his- Bodu shall be laid as much Iron and Stone as he can bear, and
more ; And the first day shall he have Three Morsels of Barley Bread, and the
next day shall he drink thrice of the Water in the next Channel to the Prison
Door, but no Spiing or Fountain IVater: And this shall be his punishment till
he die ''
Thus in the Press-house in London, in February, 1658, because he would not
plead, the prisoner died, his friends looking on, and some of them even mount-
ing the press among the iron and the stones in kindness to hasten his horrid
death. Can Victor Hugo over i lor these simple facts V
An age later, in 1692, Giles Corey of Salem Farms, paid a like penalty. In Mas-
sachusetts a witch's soul was snaked out of his body by an old law, while a

A rare and very important historical work. It contains the lives and martyrdoms
of the Jesditt missionaries in the four parts of the Globe. Some of tliose wlio
perislied in Asia and Africa had previously labored in America. Part IV is
devoted entirely to America, comprising pages 563 to 738, and contains biog-
raphies, some of them very full, of fifty-eight missionaries, all of whom were
put to death by the savages in some horrid form or other. These terrible deaths
are illustrated by thirty-nine copperplates in the text, representing all sorts of
tortures, each more horrid than the last, equal in refinement of cruelty, almost
to that of the Spanish savages who first explored and devastated the New
World. Mine (terished in Florida, viz : Peter Martinez, Sept. 28, 1566 ; Louis

volume to us is pp. 647-694, containing the lives of the French Jesuits among
the Hiirons, the Iroquois, and other nations of Canada, New Yoric, and the West,
comprising the biographies of Fathers Isaac Jogues, Antoine Daniel, .Jean da
Breheuf, Gabriel Lallemant, Charles Gamier, Natalis Chabanel, Cornelius
Beudin, Jacob Basil, and Jacob Vhuteux. The Life of Father Jogues tilling
27 pages, is the fullest in the volume. He is represented as being tortured to
death by the Iroquois on the 18th of October, 1646, first by three Indians pulling
out the nails of his fingers and toes with pincers.

At the head of the dedication are the arms of the Archbishop of Mexico, en-
graved by Antonio Mokeno, Mexici sculpsil. The volume contains eleven
preliminary leaves, and 58 pages. Aside from the intrinsic value of the work
as one of the principal ones upon the languages of Mexico, there is on the tenth
leaf a piece of elaborately ingenious trifling worth mentioning. It is an Elogio
of sixteen lines, by Dr. Miguel Joseph Moche, upon the Author, so arranged in
concentric circles, like a wheel of sixteen spokes, that each line terminates in A,
placed at the hub. The middle letter of each line is a capital. Then reading
first round the tire, then the middle circle, ending at the hub with A, we have

This exact fac-simile, in lithography, of above 700 closely printed pages, in black
letter, tal<en from the unique copy preserved in the Baptist College Library at
Bristol, of the first edition of Tynualk's New Testament, is a monument of
the industry and pious zeal of Francis Fry. For all practical purposes in
philology, theology, and history, it is every way aa good and useful as the
original,' which would to-day probably produce a thousand guineas were it un-
fortunately put up to auction. This edition, very limited, was issued in this
style at seven guineas, and a few copies on vellum at £42.

2090 TRACTATE (A) ON CHURCH MUSIC ; being an Ex-
tract from the reverend and learned Mr. Peirce's vindication
of the Dissenters. The Christian Religion shines brightest
in its own dress ; and to paint it, is but to deform it. Dr.
Nichol's Defence of the Church of England. Fine copy,
uncut, half roan. 8° I^ondon, 1786
On the back of the title is, " This Tractate on Church Music is inscribed to the
reverend Doctor Chauncy and the reverend Mr. John Clark, the Ministers; and
to the several members of the Fikst Conorrgational Dissenting Ciiukch
IN Boston in America." The interest of this tract is considerably enhanced
by a knowledge of the circumstances which called it forth. This copy be-
longed to Mr, S. Toms, the antiquarj- of London, who in 1780 wrote his auto-
graph on the title, and an account of the origin of the book on the reverse of it.
It is well known that Mr. Tho. Brani>k Holms, one of the benefactors of Har-
vard College, had acquired a wide-spread reputation, like the late George
Peabody, for wealth and liberality, and like him was not unfrequentiv subjected
to calls for considerable sums of money for objects in which he had either no
sympathy, or did not feel that he should be bled. Among these applications
was one from Dr. Charles Chauncy and the pillars of the First Congregational
Church of Boston tor ;£500, to buy an Organ. Instead of granting this extraor-
dinary request from a well-to-do' Societj', Mr. Brande Hollis caused, it is said,
6()0 copies of this Tkactatk to be printed and sent over to the Members of the
Sdcietv, endeavoring thereby to inculcate in them that modestj* and simplicity
in their public worship, which they seemed for the moment to' be outgrowing.
Feeling somewhat ditfident about the ability of his compilation to effect its ob-
ject, Mr. Brande Hollis submitted it to two" friends " because he knows the de-
served esteem with which their names are regarded in America." These two
gentlemen. Dr. Price and Dr. Kippis, in a Postscript, add their testimony against
the use of instrumental music in Churches. Finally on a small slip at the end is
pasted this quotation from Monsieur le Chevalier d'e Chastellux, a French otfieer,
who served with LaFayette 'n the American War. " A judgment may, gener-
allv, be formed of a people, oy their mode of worship: If it be simple and mod-
est, then they are active, and industrious; if it be full of solemnity and pomp,
then they are vain and frivolous; if it be melancholv and austere, then they
are tierce, violent, and obstinate." Never before probably was so much pious
sarcasm concealed in so small a book.

A very funny production, and one that even now some of the hide-bound polit-
ical economists of the old world might study with profit. The aim and general
scope of tlie author may be seen in his earnest replies to the three (|Uestions pro-
posed in 1783 by the Academy of Lyons, namely, — I, Has the Discovery of Allle^
tea been an advantage or a disadvantage to the Human Family V If the results
have been favorable, what means should be employed to secure and tranmniit
them to our successors? Or if they are bad what means ought to be adopted
to remedy them? These and similar questions, proposed to or oy the Academies
of Berlin, Besan^on, Metz, Liifge, Chalons, Angers, Manheim, Madrid, Arms,
Bordeaux, Mentone and Toulouse, are all so discussed and handled by our
Author, Jeim Urun, as to render the answers a perfect Triumph to the New
World. Indeed, from these learned answers one can see that the Americans,
native ami foreign, are indeed useful to the Human Family, if in fact they are
not a part even of that family.

This is one of the earliest and most important publications of .Wm. U^seiinx,
that clear-headed, far-seeing political economist, to whom Holland is perhaps
more indebted than to any other one man, for her rapid growth and prosperity,
between 1600 and 1635, through the encouragement of her East and West
India Trade.

8° Tigvri, apud Ch. Froschouerum, 1534
The general opinion among the German Geographers of this date was that what-
ever parts of the world did not properly pertai.i to Europe and Africa somehow
belonged to Asia. Up to 1533, Vadian, Schoner, Fine, and many others placed
the discoveries of Cortes, and all before him, in Asia. This book', therefore, be-
comes important to the student of American History, not so much to trace out
actual geographical information, as to see how befogged the learned were even
twenty years after Columbus was in bis grave.

Fine large copy, measuring 11^ by 7| inches, in half russia binding, with many
rouf>h leaves. Small holes by a* worm and a nail (easily mended) slightly dis-
figure the volume, but not so as to obscure the text. 'Will make a splendid
copy when cleaned, sized, and bound. This, one of the earliest and most im-
portant books relating to the Great Discoveries of the East nnd West, is a trans-
lation of the Paesi novamente retrtwali of 1507, and, like that book (which has
lately sold as high as ^75), contains the voyages of Cadaniosto, 1454-55, of de
Cintra in 1462, of Vasco da Gama, 1497-1500, of Cabral in 1500-1501, of Colum-

This German edition of Bandini is much rarer than the original Italian, and ia
particularly valuable for new views expressed by the German editor. The able
article on Vespucci in the North American Review, by Caleb Gushing, in IS—,
was based on this translation, he then not being able to procure the original.

Democracy, popular elections, emigration, education, farmer, frugality,

in his own volume.

This is said to be a well-written and impartial history of Mexican independence
After having freed itself from the desjxitisni of the princes of Old Spain, this
author, after recapitulating the struggles for independence, advocates the hold
doctrine that even worse tyrants are to be overthrown in Mexico before she will
be a free country. He pronounces the power of the clergy even more intoler-
able than the despotism of princes, and hence the work could not have been
printed in Mexico.

There is a good laugh on every page of this little boolt. The take-ofl'of Spanish
dedications, licenses, censiiras, etc. is sufficiently amusing. The list (>f autiiora
quoted and referred to fills 9 pages, many of whose names appear nowhere else.
The poem itself fills about 80 pages, while the notes, built up in the truly asinine
order, fill about 175 pages, and almost take away the breath of the reader with
their learning and profound scholarship. Asses, and their bouts and whereabouts,
are traced in every part of the world, but how, not being indigenous, thej'come
to occupy the New World ho extensively is a puzzle which the author has given
his raiud to most auccessfully. Lege —

It seems to have been reserved for this poet of Guatemala to first commit the
praises of cowpox or vaccination, and Dr. Jenner to immortal verse. He had
not only to overcome the prejudices of the people, but the dogged [dogma'd)
conservatism of the Church. If we may judge of his services by the beautiful
, frontispiece to the volume, engraved by Francisco Cabrera of Guatemala, it
must have been complete. This engraving is 3} by 2^ inches square. In tlit
foreground on the right stands the friendly cow tied to a tree in the open pas-
ture, and bv her the Doctor; on the left, seated on a bank, with lingers on tiie
musical strings is the poet doing his pastoral, while the children, all naked and
bare, come rushing over the hili^,

An extraordinary volume, of considerable higtorical interest. According to this
pious author Our Lady of Mexico, between 1808 and 1812, seems not only to
have taken an active interest in the spiritual welfare of the faithful, but seems
to have done her best to thwart the schemes of the rebels and republicans in the
various provinces of Mexico. She set her face firmly against the spirit of Mex-
icon Independency, and became quite a politician, but always nttached to the
royal party. The pious political frauds contained in this volume must ever
give it a prominent place among the books relating to the Historj' of the Mex-
ican Revolution.

This excessively rare book, comprising; 272 foliod leaves, is one of the linndfonicxt
books ever printed in Spain. There is a (jood wool-cut portrait of the author
on the title, and many geographiral, astronomical, and scientific wood-cut.«
throu;;hout tlie volume, one of the most interesting; of which is a delineationof
the Xew H^imisphere on thn reverse of folio 9,5 Tlie volume is of verv coniid-
erabie interest to the student of early Amitrlcan neo;;rapliy, chrnnotocy, and
history. It contains the latit ides and lonjjitudes of most of the ciiiof places in
the new world, and in the Calendar a very full list of the Spanish and Porlufjuefie
Mints and saint-dnys. As many places were named by the discoverers from
the saint's day on which the discovery was made, hence from the name we can
lometimea arrive at the date. This book is full of such sugp:estive material,
and therefore must hereafter hecome a hand-hook for the student of early Amer-
ican history. For instance if the Rio de San Aitlonio deicribed by Oviedo in
1537 as laid down by Aia)nzo dr Ciiavrs in his famous map of *153(S, on the
authority of Gomez' voyaire, be identified as the Hudson River, then Gomez must
have been there on the 13th of June, 1525, and as several other places between
Narra^anset and Chesapeake Bays were named by Gomez after saints it will not
probably be diflScult to solve the historical puzzle as to whether Gomez coasted
north or south. We find nothing in this book to connect our .Jerome de Chaves
with the celebrated Reocrapher, Alonzo de Chaves, but as they were both of
Seville, it is not unlikelv that they will turn out to be father and son.

Tlinii(;h called a trannlation, this is believed to be an original work by M. de
Crevpcreur, whooe initials only appear at the end of the very neat dedication to
Washington. The author spent nearly a quarter of a century in America; saw
Washington in 1774 come to the first Coneress fresh from liis farm, witnessed
Ills extraordinary career, and in 1797 saw him retire to the private life of an
agriculturist. His experience, therefore, enables him to give much information
and personal gossip not readily fonnd elsewhe'e. The portrait of Washington
in the first volume is an interesting one, " Grav^ d'apr^ le Cam^e peint par
Madame Brc'han a Newyork en 1789." There is also a tine portrait of KfcSKg-
ToMAii, an Onondaga Sachem, and of Koohassen, an Oneida Warrior.

ing this, the writer does not know of the existence of more than half a dozen per-
fect copies. 'I'hese are the copies in the British Museum and liodleian Libra-
ries, and in the private collections of Mr. Leno.x, Mr. lirown, and Mr. Christie-
Miller. There is a very imperfect one in the library of Harvard College, and
one wanting two leaves, belonging to Sir Thomas Phillipps. No copy complete
in England is known to have been sold for less than £10U for the past hundred
years, and one has been understood to have clianged hands at double that sum,
and probably will again if the opportunity occurs.
It has become the fa.sliion within the last few years for bibliographers, especiiilly
those who have got beyond their depth, to depreciate and decry the great col-
lection of voyages of t'he UeUrvs. 1 hey charge that these tanious engravers
had not a due regard for historic truth, and drew upon their imaginations for
most of their flne pictures of men, animals, and things in foreign countries. The
accounts of Virginia and Florida, being parts one and two of the American Col-
led ion, are said to be overdrawn, mere fancy sketches, and therefore calculated
only to mislead the truth-loving historian. These charges are based solely on
negative testimony, that is, they say, that none of the oiiginal paintings used
by the DeUrys are known to exist, and the engravings have the appearance of
(German manufacture.
Now it has been the good fortune of the writer, in his bibliographical mousings
up and down the world, to liglit upon the original paintings which Deliry ust-d
for his Virginia, and part of his Florida, and to turn up other facts which, all
put together, not only clear the DeUrys of the charge of disregard of truth,
but go far toward establishing their great (Jollections as trustworthy, and as
honestly put forth by them. If the Voyuger,-, exaggerated their own accounts, it
was not the fault of the DeBrvs. A synopsis of tlie storv n>ay perhaps as well
be recorded here as anywhere, and may be brought back to the anvil, re-ham-
mered, and worked up with authorities hereafter.
It is well known that, alter the failure of the Huguenot attempts to make settle-
ments in Florida under ISibault and LaudoimiiT in 15fi2-l&fii>, the artist of tiie
latter expedition — one of the very few who escaped the terrible massacre by
Menendez — I.e Moine by name, retired to London, resided in the lilackfriars, and
subsequently became a"servaunt to .^ir Waller Haleigh." Huleigh had known
Hakluyt and his studies in Cosmography, while student at Oxford, and subse-
quently in London, while interested in the expeditions of Frobisher, Ciilbert,
and others, had intercourse with the authoruf lUrcrtt ioi^ni/rt. Again, somewhat
later, after finishing his little ina'ters in Flanders, Haleigh found himself in
Paris, and there was llakluvt again, nominally Chapliiin to the Fnglish Kni-
bassy under Sir K. Statlbrd, but really hunting historical and geographical inatp-
rial tor a greater work on the voyages of his countrymen among the outside
barbarians. Here in 1584 INkluvt linishcd lor Haleigh an elaborate geogiaph-
ical treatise, designed to induce Kllzabeth to grant to Haleigh and his friends a

liberal charter for discover^' and plantalion in a more southern latitude than had
before been attempted by the English. They pitched upon the territory just
north of that which thev found described in Laudonni^r'n Journal, which Hakluyt
had secured, and which was pictured in the maps and drawings of Le Moine. A
reconnoitring expedition haa been sent out by Raleigh in 1684 under the com-
mand of Amidas and Barlow, which returned in September. The results of
this voyage, and Hakluyt's Paper (63 closely-written large folio pages), entitled,
" A particular discourse concerning the greate necessitie and manifold comody-
ties that are like to grow to this Realme of Englande by the westerne discov-
eries lately attempted, written in the yere 1584, by Richarde Hakluyt ... at
the requeste of Mr. Walter Raleigh before the coming home of his two Barkea "
[from the north of Florida] etc. secured from the Queen the desired Charter for
tix year* and no more, that is, to make discoveries and found plantations up to
1590, when the Charter expired by limitation. This manuscript of Hakluyt fell
into the hands of the writer some fifteen years ago, and he tried for a year or
two to place it in America, but without success. It was afterwards sold to Sir
Thomas Phillipps. It is soon to be printed for the first time by the Maine Histor-
ical Society, [n the autumn of 1867 the writer had the honor of calling the
learned Dr. Woods' attention to it, and suggesting it^ publication by the Maine
Historical Society.
While in Paris, Hakluj't induced his friend Basanier to edit Laudonni^r's Journal,
and publish it under the patronage of Raleigh, while he himself, under the
same patronage, brought out his excellent edition of Peter Martyr's Eight Dec-
ades, with the best map by F. G. of the new hemisphere that had been com-
piled up to that time. Basanier's book appeared in 1586, and Hakluyt's in
1587. Laudonni^r's Journal fell into the hands of Theodore DeBry, an'enter-
prising engraver at Frankfort, formerly of Li^ge. One of the ten or a dozen
who escaped the massacre in Florida was a young man named DeBrj^, probably
a relative of the engraver. At all events the engraver took a deep interest in
the work, and in 1587 went to London to see Le Moine in the RIackfriars, with a
view of obtaining Komeofhis paintings, to enable him to reproduce Laudunni^r's
Journal with illustrations. But being at the time in Raleign's service, Le Moine
was either unable or unwilling to give DeKry all he wanted. But Le Moine dy-
ing the next year, DeBry returned to London in 1588, and succeeded in buying
of the widow the rest of the Florida collection. But while there he fell in with
Hakluyt, who was then engaged in bringing out his first folio Collection of Voy-
ages. Hakluyt informed DeBry of the recent Virginia Expeditions under Ra-
leigh's Charter, and suggested that, instead of bringing out his Florida as a sepa-
rate book, he had better take the new book of Master Thomas Harlot, just out of
the press, and illustrate it from the portfolio of John \Vhite, the artist sent out
by (jueen Elizabeth as chief Draughtsman in the expedition of 1585, who had
recently returned, dedicate the work to Raleigh, nnd so begin a grand illustra-
ted collection of vovages, the Virginia being the first part, the Florida to be
held back to form the second part. Hariot, White, Raleigh, and DeBry all fell
into this arrangement, and Hakluyt agreed to write the descriptions of White's
maps and pictures. DeBry thus* having filled his portfolios with copies of
White's works and the originals of the Tate Le Moine's paintings, returned to
Frankfort, and, with incredible enterprise and perseverance, brought out his
Virginia in 1690, and the Florida in 1591, the latter as the Second Part of a
Collection of Voyages. The Florida by this arrangement had been enlarged
by additional pieces and plates. From this brief statement it will be perceived
that thus far DeBry's Collection is perfectly authentic, and in its origin is essen-
tially Knglish. In another place we think it will not be difiicult to show that
he was alike painstaking and straightforward in the materials of all the other
parts of both nis Amtrica and India, and hence it must follow that the Collec-
tions are as deserving of confidence as the original Voyages from which they
are reprinted, translated, and edited.
But in reprinting Harlot's report, and illustrating it with White's pictures, did
not DeBry exaggerate and embellish ? The answer is No, for the following rea-
sons: In the }-car 1865 John White's original paintings in Water Colors, made
for Sir Walter Raleigh in 1585, fell by purchase into the hands of the writer, and
in March 1866 fell into the right place in the (irenville Library in the British
Museum, at the moderate cost to the Trustees of j£236 b$. Od. They now are a
prominent part of the world-renowned "Grenville DeBry." A glance at the
drawings will show that thev are the works of an artist, and portraits whether
of men, women, animals, fish, fowls, fruits, or plants. They are highly linisiied.
DeBry's copies are very close, but not embellished. Tlie following extracts

■lowing extracts
from the writer's report on the collection, dated 22d March, 18G6, when offering
it to the Tru!<tees ot the British Museum, are given with the hope nf removing
some of the aspersions that have been of late cast upon this famous collection,
and encouraging collectors to repose confidence in the hoiieslv of the great
Frankfort family of engravers. The drawings are beautifully Lound in two
volumes in red morocco.
" To A. I'anizzi, Ksq. etc. etc. British Museum The two volumes,
with some aids from the Grenville Library, will speak for themselves, but the
following notes may facilitate your researches. They are chiefly drawn out of
Hakluyt, Furchas, l)eBry, Hariot, Captain John Smith, and others.
" The larger volume contains 76 Original Drawings in colors, done for Sir Waltar
Raleigh by .lolin While, the English Painter who was sent by Queen Elizabeth
in 1585 to Virginia, as principal draughtsman in Haleigh s famous Second Expe-
dition for exploring the country and pianting hU ' First Colonie.' This Expe-
dition of seven ships was under the command of Admiral Sir Richard Grenville,
the ancestor, I believe, of the founder of the Grenville Library, Thomas Can-
dish, or Cavendish, was also of the fleet, and Master Ralph Lane was the
Governor of the Colonie. This ' First Colonie,' consisting of 10!) men, remained
in Virginia one whole year, and then returned to England in July, 158tj, in Sir
Francis Drake's fleet returning victorious from the West Indie's, beciiuse the
long expected supplies and reinforcements from England had not arrived.
Fourteen days after their departure Sir Richard Grenville arrived with new
stores and new planters, to And the Old Colonie deserted.
" To Thomas Hariot and John White, two of these 109, we owe nearly all we
know of that grand and most unfortunate expedition, and it is not too much to
say, I think, that to them alone we may fairly ascribe nearly all the accurate
knowledge we have of the Indians, and the natural history of that countr}' for
a full century later.
" Nothing is recorded of John White in Modern Dictionaries of art or biography,
yet from DeBry and Hakluyt we learn that he was both an eminent artist, and
an influential man in his day. He made no less than four voyages to Virginia;
was an ' adventurer ' in the ' First Colonie ; ' the Governor of the ' Second Col-
onie ' in 1587; and the grandfather of Virginia Dare, the first English child
born in North America; the friend and agent of Raleigh, and the a^isociate of
Hariot. Many of Governor White's Letters and Journals are preserved by his
friend Hakluvt. His last voyage to Virginia was in 1590, as chief of Raleigh's
' Fifth Expedition,' to aid and reinforce the Colonie of 1587. Ho returned un-
successful the same year, and retired to Ireland, whence he dated a letter, long
and important, to his friend Hakluyt, ' from my house at Newtowne in Kyl-
more tlie 4th of February, 1593.'
"Theodore DeKrj' in his second visit to London in 1588, was introduced to
White by Hakluyt, who suggested to that eminent engraver, then projecting
his Grand Collection of Voyages, to reprint Harlot's ' Report of Virginia,'
then just issued, and illustrate it with the pictures of John White. Hakluyt
also persuaded DeBry to delay his Florida and make the Vivuinin his First
Part. White's pictures were copied, and the artist returning to Frankfort, with
incredib'e enterprise rompletea the engravings in a masterly manner, and
issued the work in 1690, in folio, four editions, in four languages, English,
French, German, and Latin, a monument of Beauty and Art to himself, to
Hariot, and to .lohn White. Not more than five or six copies of tlie English
edition are now known in England, and for the last century liave never sold
complete for less than 100 guineas, and would now bring probably 200 guineas.
The copy in the Grenville Librarj' is the fines't I have f>een.
" These drawing* now offered to the Trustees are no doubt the identical paint-
ings that were copied by DeBry and published in 1590. Beautiful as DeBry's
work is, it seems tame in the presence of these original drawings. UeKry
copied only about one third of the drawings. The rest have nover been en-
graved, though some of them were used in the Flurida, and in the third and
sixth Parts. There is a volume of White's [|)crliaps partly Le Moine's] draw-
ings in the Sloane Collection (N°5'270) but liiey are not duplicatt'S of those.
A few of them are similar designs. 'I lie price of tiiis volume is 200 guinea!
(£210.) The price of the sinu'.ler volume, if the other be taken, is 25 guineas
(£2IJ 5s. 0'/.; together £230 ft». Of/.) The siorv of the smaller \ulunu' is very
curious. At the fire at Sotheby's in June, 18ti5, the drawings were saturated
with water, and remained so for three weeks under heavy pressure, which pro-

Such is the brief history of this rpmarkable book, the only copy of which it ii
believed that has ever been offered by auction in this country. Its authenticity
cannot be doubted. It contains nearly all we know of Raleigh's Old Colonie,
which he himself never saw, and which resulted in an entire failure, probably
owing to the unfortunate limitation of the enterprise to six years. No such ex-
peii-ive efforts were ever after made by any expedition or Colony to collect
such vivid and picturesque material of the New World, its inhabitants, and
natural products.

The author of this excessively curious and rare work was Vice-Admiral of the
celebrated expedition of the Dutch in 1043, under Admiral Hendrick Brouwer,
against the Spaniards of Chili; timt printed at Amsterdam in 1046, and three
years later forming the 25th Part of the Collection of Hulsius. Brouwer dying
on the passage out, the command fell upon Hbkckmans, who was probably the
amateur compiler and editor of the various Journals. This Zee Vaert Lof is aa
elaborate historical poem in six books in honor of Navigation. AH the cele-
brated voyages of the world from Nonh to 1632 are recorded in chronological
order. The voyages of discovery, leading up to the discovery of America, are
mentioned witb considerable detail, and after Columbus are recorded most of
the voyages both to the east and the west, especially the expediiions of the
Dutch navigators. The voyages to the north are hU mentioned in the text and
notes. The volume is beautifully illustrated by an engraved title and eighteen
exquisite etchings in the text. The one at the beginning of the third book
bears the mark of Rembrandt, with the date 1033.

See No. 891 of this Catalogue. Hernandes, or the Third Pliny, spent seven years
by order of Philip the Second, in active research into the natural history of the
plants and animals of New Spain. Shortly after his death his MSS. and Collec-
tions were placed in the hands of Dr. Nardo Antohio Ricci, who abridged the
MSS. and printed at Rome beforn 1628, a large folio volume in Latin, with
many wood cuts. But a copy of a part of his abridgment bad somehow found
its way back to Mexico in time to be reabridged and translated into Spanish by
Francisco de Ximenes and printed there in 1615. A part of the original col-
lection was burnt with the library of the Kscurial in 1671. This edition ii
not to be compared with the work of Dr. Ricci. This is more of Hernandes
without his editors, more correct, with many additions, but wi'hout any illustra-
tions. Had Hernandes lived to edit and publish his own work, as Humboldt
and Bonplaud did theirs two hundred years later, it is not likely that these two
friends would have then laid before the public so much that was entirely new to
the philosophers of the old world.

2519 NicnOLLH (J. F. Cit^ Librarian, Bristol) The Remarkable
Life, Adventures, and Discoveries of Sebastian Cabot, of Bris-
tol, the Founder of Great Britain's Maritime Power, Discov-
erer of America, and its first Colonizer. Cioth. Portrait and
map, 4" London, Sampson Low Sf Co. 1809
We conTesR that we cut the leareR of this beautiful buok, iVoiii tbe Lliimkk Prtu
of WliittinghHin, wiiii an eagerneRH that has seldom been ours. We read it
througt). and through, and through, and closed it with a profound ditiapouint-
ment which haii never before been ours. We interleaved it delicately wiih our
historic litniuH papers an<l found, to our great regret, that it would scarcely in
any part »'taud the test of impartial criticism. We had Ung hoped some day
to Hnd time, with reverent hand^i, to mouse round and brinp to light some biu>
den documents in Bristol that might throw light on the Cabots. Mr. NIcholla,
as a thorough-going antiquary, hns di!>pelled that hope. He has found nothing
in Bristol that properly pertains to that family, and has been compelled to
rehiish Biddle, 'l^tler, flumbolot, seasoning the dii<h with the discoveries of Mr.
liawdun Brown \n Venice, and Mr. Be'genroth in Madrid, flavoring the whoU
with a portrait of Sebastian (,'abot, exquisitely engraved by Kawie, and an ex-
tract fiom ' Sebastian (Jabot's Map,' of 1544, now in the Imperial Lib'ary at
Paris. Mr. Nicholls, as a painstaking chronicler, has used all the ma'erials that
the active research of many antiquaries has turned up in the present century,
and the result is the above remarkable title-page, and the fullowiiig pasyagea
from his condusicm, on pp. 187,188: "Even where his [Sebastian Cabot's]
ashes lie is a mystery ; and he who gave to England a continent, and to Spain
an empire, lies in soine unknown tomb." .... "I'his man, who surveyed
and depicted thiee thousand miles of a coast which he had discovered; who
gave to Britain, not only tbe continent, hut the unfold riches of the di'cp, in the
lisheries of Newfoundland, and the whale fishery of the Aiciic S?ea; who broke
up a monopoly that, vampire-like, was sucking out England's infant r^trcngth,
and unh>cked for her the ireasurts ot the world, saying, ' Uo, win and thtn wear
them;' who is never reported to have struck an aggressive blow; who made
enemies into friends, and whose friends were everwiiimly attached to him; who,
by his uprightness and fair dealing, raUed England's name high among the
niitions, placed her credit on a solid foundation, nnd made her citizens re^pect•
ed; who was the father of free trade, and gave us the carrving trade ef the
world: this man has not a statue in the ciiy that giive him birih, or in the me-
tropolis of the country he so greatly enriched, or a name on the land he discov-
ered. Emphatically,' the most scieniific seaman of his own or, perhaps, many
subsequent iiges — one of the gentlest, bravest, best of men — his actions have
been misreprc'iented, his discoveries denied, his deeds ascribed to others, and
caluinnv has flung its tilth on his memory."
Now, without atieiiipting to become a champion of "Historic Truth," being fa-
miliar with all the muterials used in compiling this book, and much more of
kindred character, we cannot forbear, here, tor the want of a better place, to
book our rarnest protest in behalf of the memory of John Cabot and Clirit<toplier
Columbus, against such wholesale a-isumptioiis. There is no warrant in the
documents that Mr Nicholls has used to justify him in placing Sebastian Cabot
on this pedestal. What we know of him is very slight. It is only by making
his hero tell a flat lie that Mr. Nicholls makes him an Englishman instead of a
Venetian, and in the face of the most valuable contemporarj' papers brought to
light by Mr. Kawdon Brown nnd Mr. Kergenroth, he appropriates honors to the
son winch rightfully belong to the father, .lohn Cahot. The simple truth is
that all those papers of 14!)7 and 1498 refer only to .lohn Cabot, and the voyaga
of 1497. They allude to the larger expedition of 1498 as having gone forth, John
Cabot with it, but not yet returned. That Sebastian Cabot was in both vovages
there is little doubt, but in a subordinate capacity. As nothing more Is lieard
of .John Cabot it is not unlikely that he died during the voyage of 1498, and so
his son took command — but this is not certain. We have no distinct account
of the voyage of 1498, nor liave we of any subsequent vovage from England of
Sebastian Cabot. If he ' survej'ed and depicted 3000 miles of a coast,' it must
have been in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
In the fall of 1512, having received no further encouragement from Herry VII
or VIII, Sebastian C«l)ot took service under the King of Spain, where he re-
mained for a great number of years, though, perhaps, visiting England occasion-
ally. If he made the voyage of 1517 it ' took none effect,' and we have no ac-
Bihliotheca Ilistorica.

from Herry VII
where he re-
igland occapion-
re have no ac-
count of it. In his old age he returned to England after the death of Holbein
and was made use of in getting up a trailing company to Hui'sia, but of this
honorable enterprise very little has come down to us of a characti r to lift him
to the high position claimed by the author of this book. Documents may turn
up herearter, justifying in a degree the high encomiums of Mr. Nichflli'. htit at
E resent we know of them not. Nor do we know of unv one wliofc "<alumny
as flung its filth on bis memory." On the page of hislorv, if one finds very
little in favor of .Sebastian Cabot to raisie him far above the Uve^yet no one has
found anything against him. His record, so far as we know if, is honoriible.
To all intents and purposes Christopher Columbus was the discoverer of Amer-
ica, and is entitled to that honorable distinction. The prand idea of failing
west to find the east was his, and the success wos his; let the honor be his. It
is true he did not fiist see the Island of Cape Kreton nor the northern coa't of
the Uulf of St. Lawrence, yet he pointed out the way to his friend and fellow-
townsman, John Cabot.
As to the excellent ))ortrait in this book it is a welcome contribution, but if ought
p«rhaps to be explained Ihat what may have been true forty years ago is not true
now, •' from the original in the possession of Charles ,Io.«h nartord Ksq." Near-
ly 40 years ago the original portrait passed into the hands of Mr. Diddle, it is
understood at the cost of £600, and was brought bv him to this country. A
good copy was tHken and is now preserved in the AfassacluiFctts Iliftfricnl So-
ciety. The original was destroyed by the great fire in I'ittsbtirgh. There ap-
pears to be a mistake in ascribing it to Holbein, as that celebruted ( ainter is
now proved to have died before S. Cabot returned to England fir^m Sjiain.
The Latin inscription on the portrait to us seems to point to John Cabot as the
first discoverer of the new land [primi invenforis terra; nova'] ond not to the
son Sebastian.
As to the extract of the map of Sebastian Cabot which Mr. Nicholls has given, it
is difKcult to account for the errors that have crept into and all over it. Out of
65 names given in and about the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Nova Scotia, more
than 40 of them are nuissnelled, and severol of them hopelet^sly disguised. The
typographical errors and literary slips throughout the book are as unpardonable
as they are numerous. They are such as properly belong to the author and not
the printer, witness the date 1474 in heading of Chap. Ill and repealed, the
dates 1543 on page 67, &c. &c. Still with all its faults the book is an interesting
one.
