PHOTOBIBLIOGRAPHY
\ WORD ON CATALOGUES AND HOW
TO MAKE THEM
HE QUESTION OF CATALOGUING OUR BoOKS IS BE-
coming* a very serious one. For more than
four hundred years the press has teemed, and
of late steamed, with books. The dead past
ives again in print in our public and private libraries,
v^here to a great extent are garnered up records of laws,
nanners, customs, history, literature, science and art —
he intellectual accumulations of ourselves and our pre-
lecessors. Here the past and present hold their school
or the instruction of the future.
A nation's books are her vouchers. Her libraries are
ler muniments. Her wealth of gold and silver, whether
Qvested in commerce, or bonds, or banks is always
vorking for her ; but her stores of golden thoughts, in-
ventions, discoveries, and intellectual treasures, investc
mainly in print and manuscript, are too often store
somewhere in limbo unregistered, where, though sIol
and well preserved, they rather slumber than fructif
The half of them are not recorded, and the resting plac<
of many are not known. New old books are dai
brought to light. All the copies at present known of Im
the different works printed by England's five earliu
printers may be counted on our fingers if not on oi
thumbs. In spite of the recent activity of collectors ai
librarians it is well known that a large proportion of i
the books that came from the press of Cuxton exists :
far as we know at present in single copies only, many
which are imperfect. How many have been utterly lost i
man can tell. Nay more, who can lay his hand read!
on a single copy of all, or even a considerable part, of tl
printed ballads that were sent broadcast over the land so la
as the year of the Crimean war ? Books ! to-day they ar
to-morrow the half of them are not. The stillborn ai
infant mortality among them is greater far than the co :
responding death-rate in Dr Farr's tables. Many pa
away unrecorded and leave no trace of their existence.
From the days of Hipparchus to the present time tl
stars have been catalogued, and to-day every bird, bcas ii
fish, shell, insect, and living thing ; yea every tre /i
shrub, flower, rock and gem, as they become known a: ■;
scientifically, systematically and intelligently named, d
scribed and catalogued. In all these departments
human knowledge there is a well ascertained and gem r
rally acknowledged system which is dignified as a scienc x

But as yet no such honour awaits the bibliogi-aphe fc:

e cataloguer of our books, tlio registrar of our mental off-

mere jackall, or packhorse, or some other patient beast
burden doomed to work for other arts and sciences,
ntent with small emoluments for itself and smaller
laise. This ought not so to bo, and will not probably
so much longer. There will doubtless, as in every
ing else in this rapid age, be a favorable change when-
er the importance of the subject is fairly so brought
me to our business and bosoms as to make it pay and
|Come respectdblc.
iWe are accustomed to boast that the literature of the
glish language is the richest in the world. It may be
but just now this is probably mere national brag, in-
nucli as we are unable to back our boast with even
3ent catalogues or schedules of it. Of the ephemeral
jrature of the past and the floating books of the present
arge part was never booked. It was even worse in our
hers' day than now. Many are saved by drifting by
re chance into some snug harbour. Offer a thousand
all English books of the present century to the British
iseum, and full as it already is, the chances are that
f of them will be found wanting in that world-re-
wned national repository where every human British
Dk has the inalienable right of recorded citizenship,
ere are tolerably complete lists of our soldiers, our
rgy, our lawyers and our criminals. Why not of all
books ? Who shall say that this class contains more
mes or trash than that ? or why one list should be
mowed and another not ? The fact is we have not the
ans, notwithstanding our honored and appreciated
rberts and Ameses, our Watts, our Lowndeses and
tins, of taking stock of our national literature. We do
forget our Clarkes, our Dibdins, our Anglia Poeticas,
Grenvilles, our Lea Wilsons, our Hazlitts or our
fties. Current trade lists there are indeed, good enough
perhaps for tlie purpose, and some merchantable print
catalogues, general and special, for which we are thankJ
but they mostly fall far short of Bibliography. Indc
it is a fact that no painstaking earnest collector of r;
and precious books can find anywhere reliable collatic ,
and descriptions of one-half of them, but he is compel
often to take them on trust.
The contents of some of our excellent public and p
vate libraries are each separately scheduled in print
manuscript suiB&ciently well no doubt to be used on i
premises in face of the books described, but our learr
and indefatigable librarians presiding over the best doi
of our libraries each catalogue their books as carcfu j
and elaborately as if they existed nowhere else, and sor
times probably, notwithstanding the celebrated nine
one rules, in as many Avays as there are copies. Wl
some books are thus catalogued over and over again, V(
many are overlooked and altogether neglected. This
inevitable, but no improvement can be expected so Ic
as there is no standard, no acknowledged general syst
worthy the name, no co-operation or common inter
in Universal Bibliography.
Now if these twelve Caesars over books would o::
thoroughly bibliographize separate rare and valua
books and exchange results, instead of all half doing 1
same work in a dozen different styles, we might even-
ally have our literary history and bibliography in a
state to transmit satisfactorily to posterity, instead
continuing the present muddle which is manifestly grc
ing muddlier every year as the harvest of the press ac(
mulates. It is doubtless as much as each staff (
accomplish to keep up with the growth of its own libr;
without regarding others. As there is little hope of a
one library ever even approaching completeness, there
no apparent progress whatever made towards that uuiv
sal and harmonious catalogue raisonne which we lu
been so long and so devoutly praying for. We arc i
ving so fast in this matter as the world around us, and
therefore lagging, a circumstance not creditable to
Great or Greater Briton,
rhe good old fashioned idea and practice of printed
alogues of large and rapidly increasing libraries in this
mtry are we are soiny to say well nigh abandoned as im-
cticable, while in America the importance and necessity
them are recognized and at present acted upon ; but
3 not unlikely that the curators of the Congress Library
Washington and of the Public Library at Boston
y somewhat modify their notions and practice in this
pect, when their collections are increased from some-
it under 200,000 to 800,000 or a million volumes,
the library of the British Museum, or the National
rary of Paris. It is well known that the difficulties of
ducing a printed catalogue of a large and rapidly
wing library vastly increase in proportion to its size.
3 hardly therefore to be expected that a single institu-
, national, public or private, should take upon itself
burden of universal bibliography, or the right of pro-
bing rules and general principles for others. The
f of the British Museum library for instance may not
iate to that of Bodley or Paris, and as no one of them is
cted with affluent misery, or has sufficient money, men
luthority to lead off independently, they, like many
er lights, are compelled to shine under their own
tiels. Of consequence the manuscript catalogue of
1 library, however excellent it may be, is of little use
3pt to the owners, and it must, like our unlicensed beer.
:aken on the premises. It affords the student outside
libi-ary no adequate means of studying the bibliogra-
1 of his subject at home, nor can he compare the books
i')ne library with those of another,
his isolation and waste of vain repetition, it is believed,
|liolly unnecessary. One good portrait by a Titian is
er than a dozen by inferior or less skilled artists.
best can be multiplied easier than new ones made.
So a good portrait of a book is good for all timOj and ]'•(
plicas may be readily supplied to any extent. It woiil^
indeed be difficult to supply portraits, or descriptive title
and collations of all books at once,, but a well digests
plan, expansive as an indiarubber band, it is believel
mi gilt be devised wliicli in a few years would supply oj
public and private libraries with titles as fast as they
required, and at the same time educate a bibliographic
staff, that would eventually post up the ledger of or
literature to date, and keep it up. There is now nothing as
we have said approaching a complete bibliographical record
of the books of the English language, that is, of Great
Britain, America, India and Australia. Germany and
France are a little better off, but not much. Other book-
printing nations are we believe behind even England.
So far nothing has been said of trash or natural selec-
tion in our works, the bugbear of half the critics. It is
natural that every man should select such books as he
fancies, but it is only fair that he should leave the same
right to others. We all know that in books, what is
trash to one person is nuggets to another, and that the
tastes of mankind in this respect are as varied as in every
thing else. Our notion is that every book, big and little,
that is published, like every child that is born, should be
registered, without inquiry into its merits or character.'
We are no Malthusian either in population or books. Who>
shall pronounce on the progeny of a mother or an author,
and declare that this or that should not have been ? Cer-
tainly not the registrar, or the cataloguer. A human soul
that is once in existence, or a book that is once in print
and published, you cannot well put out of existence.
You may kill it, or cut it up in a review, but it exists
nevertheless, and should be provided for. If villain-
ous, watch and impound it. Ask a hundred men who
read as they run, to each exclude a hundred of the
worthless volumes from a library of ten thousand, and
the chances are that no single book would receive five
black balls. You have a perfect riglit to turn up your
tiose at my poems and pronounce them trash, while I may
f I please indulge in the like luxury of calling your ser-
tnons stuff and nonsense ; yet we are individual critics,
pd our opinions go exactly for what they are worth, while
^ur books perhaps rival in the rapidity of sale the PrO'
jerhial Philosophy, proverbially vitupperated annually at
iwelve and sixpence per column by the professed critic
vho has it in hand. Not every one is robust enough to
•elish Bacon or indulge pleasantly or profitably in the
''Sfovum Organum, for his mind may be better adapted to
mjoy Peter Wilhins or Mother Goose's Melodies. Indeed
t is amazing, looking up and down our streets and mar-
kets, to see how light is the mental pabulum that best
lourishes some minds, and what dry and hard meat others
•equire. The lighter a balloon the higher it will rise,
jven so sometimes the thinner the matter of a book the
ligher it goes in the estimation of some of our neigh-
)ours, whose tastes and opinions are to be respected. No
nan or person ever wrote a book, probably, so weak and
vishywashy but that some mental stomach might be found
ust strong enough to thrive upon it. We therefore, in
dew of the general fitness of things, vote for the cata-
oguing of every book printed as it turns up, leaving the
lelection to the selectors. There is no fear of being
)apered up if we arrange, sort and systematise our stores.
Who does much, of him much is expected, is an old rule
u international affairs by which England may fairly be
sailed upon to give to the world the first instalment of a
Jniversal Printed Catalogue, made on true bibliographical
)rinciples, with full titles and collations, not alone of
jjnglish printed books, but of all the books in all languages
sxisting in our public and private libraries, or likely to be
n them. What we want is a full, clear, plain, practical,
)xact, precise, concise and comprehensive title, collation
md description, that is to say a real portrait and intellec-
lual photograph of every one of the books in our libraries.
true and expressive like the faces of our friends, and as
readily distinguishable and recognizable. They should be
so well executed as to become at once standard by the
universal law of superiority and value, and to pass current
like our coins. These titles should be procurable at smal
cost, and be so good as to be adopted as a matter of course
by all our public and private libraries, as fast as their
present back stock of titles can be adapted or disposed of.
Made in this way lovers of books would probably makt
photographic albums of their favorites in the manner the^i
now do of their friends and companions. This brings ui
then to our long-cherished hope of
A Centeal Bibliogeaphical Bureau,
public or private, where librarians, collectors, and ama
teurs may buy these authorized descriptive titles of books
as they buy postage stamps, money orders or telegrams,
at a tithe the cost of making them, and at the same tim(
infinitely superior in quality. Such a bureau, uudei
government protection, it is believed, might from the
beginning be made self-supporting or even remunerative,
like the Post Office. It would soon become a great edu-
cator of the educated and an inestimable boon to the
historian, or the literary or scientific researcher,
enabling him at once to find, ready at his hands cut ane
dried, the materials of his subject. It not unfrequenti
happens that students exhaust their energies in masteriuj
the materials of their subjects, before they put pens t(
paper. Not every historian has the pluck, persistencj
and toughness of Gibbon. A well-stocked and methodj
cal Bibliographical Bureau would have reheved that hig
torian of three-fourths of the fag and worry of his twenty
years mousing for materials. A student now visits th(
library of the British Museum, and dives into its volumi
nous, manuscript alphabetical catalogues pretty much
the pearl fisher plunges. into the sea. Sometimes he
brings up a pearl and is rewarded, bat oftcuer he brino-
ap nothing though the pearl grounds be the best, and the
catalogues are acknowledged to be surpassed by those of
10 other large public library. Something akin to our
scheme, but a distant relation of it, has been attempted
3y the Royal Society in its extensive Index to the Scien-
-ific Papers in the periodicals and transactions of all
lations ; and by the South 'Kensington Museum in its
Jniversal Art Catalogue. Both are printed, and any
ibrary or student may have them, but these creditable
^orks lack scope and execution, being mere lists and
lot bibliographical catalogues. They are long paces how-
iver in the right direction.
Bibliography is fast becoming an exact science, and
Lot a whit too soon. It is high time to separate it from
aere catalogue making. It is becoming a necessity to
)oth the scholar and the collector (they are not always
Jentical.) Indeed every considerable library should have
wo distinct catalogues exclusive of its shelf and admin-
strative lists. The one raisonne or bibliographical, and
he other its index, the latter so constructed as to serve
11 practical purposes in ordinary cases for a finding,
ecord, and common reference catalogue. They should
oth be alphabetical, and the titles in the one without
xception, be under headings the same as in the
ther. Let the one be full and descriptive, the other small,
ompact, and full of condensed brevity. By full titles
dth collations and descriptions is not meant anything
sprawling, irrelevant, shpshod and lumpy as the
iptuous works of Dr Dibdin, Ander SchifFahrt, or of
thers more recently published, printed with the same
tupendous nihilities and vacuities ; but tidy, exact, com-
.act and comprehensive, showing in a nutshell all the
3ader wishes to know or see, short of the books them-
3lves.
It is not well to put a library into its catalogue,
ut better to put a catalogue into the library. A cum-
10
bersome catalogue, like a big thick -paper dictionary is a
nuisance. A description of a rare and costly book should
tell precisely not only what constitutes a perfect copy,
but when applied to an imperfect one should indicate
exactly what is wanting, and that in the briefest possible
terms, eschewing spacings, broken lines and all biblio-
graphical quiddling. These last may be left to book-
sellers' and auctioneers' catalogues, and to those who
have notions to vend and ventilate by catalogues. "We
have seen a bibliographical work of considerable preten-
sions, recently published, wherein many of the titles, long
enough perhaps to fill a line or line and a-half, are
expanded by broken bits, points and printer's quads
into five or six lines, against all the rules of workmanlike
printing, thus filling 150 instead of fifty pages. Such
printing cannot be too highly condemned, and such
.cataloguing can have no pretensions to bibliography,
especially as in most cases little information is given
beyond the bare intimation of the existence of a particular
edition, with name of the printer, place, date and size.
What every collector and librarian wish particularly to
know is omitted.
At length this preliminary flourish brings us to the an-
nouncement of our proposed remedy, which for the want
of a better name we call for the present
PHOTO-BIBLIOGRAPHY,
or a new application of Photography to Bibliography, a
higher and better class of catalogues. It is not intended
to supersede, but rather to supplement, improve, syste- ,
matize and elevate the present method of cataloguing
our libraries and museums, public and private. It is the
result of long study and numberless devices to accom-
plish our bibliographical aim of fulness and perfect
accuracy with reasonable cost of money, space and time.
We have not yet solved, we confess, all the difficulties
11
that have presented themselves, but we are sufficiently-
advanced after many months practice to pronounce with
considerable confidence, our system of higher class cata-
loguing to be safe, simple, easy, accurate, expeditious
and cheap. Without going here into unnecessary details
suffice it now to say that we claim as our invention a new
application of photography, and apparatus so contrived
and constructed as to enable any sharp bibliographer with
one photographer and one lens to collect the titles of the
rarest and costliest books, of the average sizes, at the
rate of from two to three thousand a week, that is to say,
from five to ten times as fast as the best cataloguer can
do the work by handwriting, and at the same time
immeasurably better.
The plan is to reduce all the titles, maps, woodcuts, or
whatever is desired to copy, by one uniform scale. This
reduction is regulated by the printer, who declares from
many specimens exhibited to him, that a reduction of
two-thirds will give him excellent copy, far better than
the average manuscript. Our titles then are precisely
one-third the dimensions, or one-ninth the superfices of
the originals. Nine is found by experience to be the
most convenient multiple, as it avoids fractions, and suits
the printer. If the printer be pleased, most other readers
will not object to the size. To those who cannot see
glasses are respectfully recommended, while those who
will not see the photograms are referred to the printed
titles which accompany them. Our system is to clear up
as we go, and make an alphabetical ' card catalogue,'
something after the manner that is now generally adopted
in our principal libraries. The photograms every day as
they are collected are trimmed and laid down on pieces
of common cheap writing paper cut to the exact size of
the thin cards, about four by six inches, which we intend
to use. The bibliographer then adds in manuscript the
heading of the title, the translation (if it be desired) the
collation, description, list of maps and plates, notes, or
12
whatever he deems necessary or important. These titles
then go to the printer who prints the whole, both the
photogram and the manuscript, in such a manner as to
leave room for mounting the photogram, and in the pre-
scribed form, in large or small type according to the
space -required. This method gets rid of all revising and
transcribing the titles, while the cost of printer^s correc-
tions is greatly reduced. The printer then prints as many
copies as are required, some on thin cards and others on
strong thin paper for laying down in volumes. The
photograms printed on very thin paper are then laid down
in the blank places left for them on the cards, and the
titles are done, well done and quickly.
Now there is no reason why these titles should not be
perfect of their kind, and be produced at moderate cost
as fast as they are demanded. An alphabetical catalogue
so made is always perfect as far as it goes, and may be
from time to time enlarged to any extent. The titles
may be kept separate, or be mixed with the slip titles of
any library. They may be shuffled and arranged in any
order, class or subject. Index aud cross reference cards
may be added in print or manuscript. Press marks and
additions in manuscript to adapt the titles to the parti-
cular copies of any library may be added by hand.
Should a printed catalogue be made, these titles will
supply the best copy, on short notice for the greater part
of the work, the rest, in the way of addition or com-
pression, may be done in the usual way by hand. By
them books in the library can be compared to a dead
certainty with copies in any other library. The photo-
grams instead of being laid down on cards may be used
for illustrating catalogues or other books, and as the
negatives are kept may be supplied in large or small
quantities. They serve admirably for comparing type,
woodcuts, engravings, and general art purposes. They
are very beautiful, and may well serve designers and
artists for hints and models. But will they be beautiful
13
for ever ? Will tliey not fade ? Wc answer that some of
tliem in twenty, fifty or a hundred years, if printed by the
ordinary silver process may fade. But they may, as well
as anything else, be printed by one of the permanent pro-
cesses. The negatives are numbered and so arranged on
shelves like books that they may be referred to instantly.
One shelf eight feet long will hold the negatives of 10,000
titles, as we know by experience.
Our collection of photograms already made comprises
many of the rarest books relating to America and the
great discoveries of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries,
such as the works of Marco Polo, Columbus, Vespucci,
Varthema, Cortes, Enciso, Peter Martyr, Oviedo, Lopez
de Gomara, Las Casas, and very many others ; also the
great collections of voyages, Grynaeus, Eamusio, Hak-
luyt, De Bry, Hulsius, Purchas, Haertgerts, Saeghman,
Thevenot; the geographical works of Ptolemy, Gerard
Jode, Ortelius, Mercator, Hondius, and others; rare
books on the East and West Indies, the Indian lan-
guages, Mexico, Peru, Brasil, Virginia, New England,
Canada, Japan, China, Eussia, and other countries ; early
Bibles, Psalms, and Testaments. We have also in our
portfolio photograms of most of the early editions of
Shakspeare, Milton, Bunyan, Raleigh, and others, with
a good sprinkling of early English, French, Spanish, and
Italian poetry and romances.
When we have say 5000 titles relating to America,
or any other extensive subject, it is proposed to print
one-line Alphabetical Index Catalogues in small type,
averaging about seventy letters in a line, and seventy
lines on a page, no one title to occupy more than a single
line, but in all cases to fill that line, with the name of
the author or the heading, the title, the edition, the
name of printer, place, date, and size, or so much as can
be compressed into one line. This catalogue will serve as
a price list of our card titles.
A single example of these photograms is given in the
14
frontispiece of tliis catalogue. Multiplied by three it will
be perceived that Sanuto^s Geography is a large folio. A
few copies of Part I of our Bibliotheca Geographica have
been printed on thicker paper, and have been illustrated
with about four hundred photograms of the chief books,
manuscripts and maps to be sold in the collection. The
photograms are laid down on about one hundred leaves
like that of the frontispiece, the whole well bound by
Pratt, making a thick octavo volume of some pretension
and no little interest to the bibliographer. Those who
wish to pursue this subject further may perhaps be aided
by procuring'of the author one of these illustrated copies,
price five guineas. We shall be happy to give further
information on this subject to any gentleman who is inte-
rested in it, or to supply samples of our photograms or
photobibliographic cards.
An apology is perhaps due to scholars for the many
blunders, ignorances and typographical errors scattered
through this our catalogue. Some of them are the
printer's, and are easily corrected, but most of them are
our own, and lie deeper. They escaped us in our one
proof. We did not indulge in a revise, but we neither
point them out nor apologize, believing it better to let the
generous critic have the pleasure of finding them himself,
and crowing. We can find, no doubt, two to his one, but
it is only an auction catalogue and is not worth the
trouble. Let him that is without errata in his own life
indulge. Our Part II of this Bibliotheca Geographica is
in course of preparation, the pagenation and numbers to
be continued on from this. Our Essay on the Progress
of Geography will accompany it.

There is, we believe, no book of about this date and size that can be
compared with this for valuable geographical and bibliographical infor-
mation respecting Canada, Nova Scotia and Acadia. It embraces the
whole Territory South of the River and Gulf of St. Lawrence, and
East of Lake Champlain and Massachusetts, and includes all the dis-
puted tracts and grants of both the English and French Governments.
The two valuable maps on the same scale, show clearly what is claimed
by each party.

8° John and Paul Knapton, London, 1746
The object of this book of 128 pages, is to induce Parliament to p:rant,
in the manner it now does to the Cnnard Comi^any, a subsidy of
£30,000 per annum to the Royal African Company to carry on its
trade in Negroes to the Plantations in America, and to supply the
surplus ones to the Spanish provinces there. " This trade is the most
nationally beneficial of any Ave carry on. It is also allowed on all
hands, that the trade to Africa is the branch which renders our
American Colonies and Plantations so advantageous to Great Britain."
Only thirty years before the Declaration of American Independence,
Parliament is urged to supply the Colonies abundantly with negroes, in
order to preserve their dependency on the British Crown, for the benefit
of the British Manufacturer, Merchant, and Landed Gentlemen. The
atrocious earnestness of these arguments is equalled only by the greed
for money exhibited by this Company, which had for its supporters
very many of the highest names in the land, whose wealth in the hands
of their grandcliildren even now savors of the Negro.

109 ALMAGEO {El Mariscal Diego de, frst the friend
and afterwards the rival and enemy of Don Francisco de
PiZAKiio) A long original Autograph Letter to Charles V
addressed " f ala. S. C. C. mgt, el enperador Bey don carlos
nro S°^" nearly sixty very closely written lines on two
foolscap folio pages, dated in Peru, at Pachacamac, the 1st
of January, 1535.
This genuine and highly important historical document is marked " Dm-
iplicada," and this may perhaps account for its having found its way
out of the public archives of Spain. It is probably the only original
Manuscript Letter of Almagro that has ever occurred for sale in this
country. The Story of Almagro ! Is it not well told by Prescott in
100 pages of his Conquest of Peru? How he was a foundling, a
soldier, and an adventurer. How he supplied the money and joined
another foundling and adventurer named Pizarro, and went forth from
Panama to conquer the barbaric empire of Peru. How the foundlings
quarrelled, and how Charles V favoured them both. This letter to
the Emperor recounts his past services, withdraws a former application
for a deputy-igovernorship under Pizarro, and asks a governorship of a
country which he had partly explored beyond the Territory of Pizarro,
where he couldfollow up the discoveries of the Straits and the Spiceries,
which Magelan had opened. It has been said that Almagro could no
more write his own name than could Charlemagne, but this despatch
seems to tell another story. We believe it both genuine and from his
own pen, though it is possible that his secretary may have written it
all save the finishing touch to the flourish of " his signature, as was
customary.

This stupid play is built on the German mercenary soldiers in America,
(probably the Hessians), who were sold to the English by their Princes,
and sent off like so many sheep to the slaughter, but who escaped that
fate by surrendering with Burgoyne and his Army. Some lived to die
in America, but som.e returned home to be laughed at.
" Sophia — Ah, we were just talking about the Americans. The Bailie's
wife thinks that the man who has been in America is not a hair better
than the one who has remained in Germany, and I am quite of her
opinion. Bailie — If you women would only not talk about such things !
you understand nothing about it. A man who, has been in America
deserves esteem, — especially if he is not conceited about it, etc."
The chief fun of the piece appears to consist in the return of a soldier
who was supposed to have been killed, and whose wife had married
another husband, and when the soldier wants to know how long she
had waited, she tells him that she gave him up for lost on the day he
started for America.

the following Prize Question -.—"Since in the Maps which arc pub-
lished in England, France, and elsewhere, respecting America, Australia,
the Indies, and Polar Regions, the more and more the names disappear
which were given by Netherlanders in the earliest voyages thither to
certain lands, seas, bays, rivers, capes, islands, towns, forts, and
colonies, the Society wishes for a Treatise whereby the services of the
Netherlanders, in these may be duly mentioned, with the circumstance
and imder what discoverers and travellers the names were originallj
given, and in what accounts of travels or maps most information thcre-
anent is to be found, as far as possible with the addition of maps whereor
the names are corrected." This book is the Prize Treatise, with the Prize
Atlas, and is of the highest historical, geographical, and bibliographical
importance to the student of early Dutch Navigators.

Concerning Aquila Kose, see Franklin's Autobiography. When the
youthful Boston runaway reached New York in 1723, he called
on old William Bradford, who said he could not give him em-
ployment himself, but referred him to his son Andrew Bradford, in
Philadelphia, whose principal workman Aquila Eose had recently
died. On reaching Philadelphia, Franklin was introduced to Keimer,
Avhom he found " at work on an elegy on Aquila Kose, whom I have
mentioned above, an ingenious young man, and of an excellent charac-
ter, highly esteemed in the town, secretary to the Assembly, and a very
tolerable poet:" ..." In a few days Keimer sent for me to print off
his elegy," which was Franklin's tirst work in Philadelphia. Bocket
resided in London, and was a friend of Rose. This is probably the
original of Keimcr's Philadelphia edition.

It appears that John Williams, tobacconist, and many others, in The

lampooning, and abusing the Sacred Order of Man, as the writer calls
the learned Ministers of Boston. They were chai-ged with going out
of their line of business and interfering with other professions and
occupations, especially in reference to small -pox and inoculation. The
wTiter gives much interesting gossip, and manfully defends the ministers,
especially Cotton Mather and his proposals to the Physicians to meet
and agree upon a method of treatment of small-pox cases.

This extraordinary production is perfectly legible, but the paper has

has been neatly mended, folded once in the centre, and bound in a limp
morocco cover. It is a choice and characteristic relic of the Poet, con-
taining at the end, just where one would scarcely expect to find it, a
poetic gem in every body's mouth, but oftener applied to our neighbours
than to ourselves. The poem opens with —
Ha! whauryegaun ye blastet fairlie !
Your impudence protects you fairlie ;
I canna say but ye strunt rarely
Yure gauze an' lace,
Tho' faith I fear ye feed Wt sparely
In sic a place.
And ends with —
O wad some Power the giftie gie us,
To see oursel as ithers see us !
It wad frae monny a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion :
What airs in dress an' gait, wad lea'e us,
An' even Devotion.

" Sunday Morning.
" Dear Sir. I was, I know, drunk last night, but I am sober this
morning. From the expressions Captain Dods made use of to me,
had I had nobody's welfare to care for but my o^vn, we should certainly
have come, according to the manners of the world to the necessity of
murdering one another about the business. The words were such as
generally, I believe, end in a brace of pistols ; but I am still pleased to
think that I did not ruin the peace and welfare of a wife and a family
of children in a drunken squabble. Farther you know that the report
of certain Political opinions being mine, has already once before brought
me to the brink of destruction. I dread lest last night's business may
be misrepresented in the same way. You, I beg, will take care to
prevent it. I tax your wish for Mrs Burns's welfare with the task of
waiting as soon as possible on every gentleman who was present, and
state this to him, and as you please show him this letter. What after
after all was the obnoxious toast ? ' May our success in the present
war be equal to the justice of our cause.' A toast that the most out-
rageous frenzy of loyalty cannot object to. I request and beg that
this morning you will wait on the parties present at the foolish dispute.
The least delay may be of unlucky consequence to me. I shall only
add, that I am truly sorry that a man who stood so high in my estimation
as Mr. Dods, should use me in the manner in which I conceive he has
done.
" I am, Sir, Yours Sincerely, Egbert Burns."

The geographical, historical, and biographical importance of the last
seven rare privately printed volumes cannot well be over-estimated.
In them Canada is described fully, and also Old French Louisiana,
that vast country lying between the Gulf of Mexico and Canada,
bounded on the east by Florida and the English Colonies, with unde-
termined western frontiers, comprising the valleys of the Mississippi,
the Missouri, the Ohio, the Wabash, the Illinois, and other large rivers,
extending even to the Great Lakes.
After Vaudreuil was transferred, in 1752, from the Government of
Louisiana to be Governor-General of Canada, the Marquis of Kerlerec
was appointed in his place, but the Government of Louisiana was
dependent upon the Government of Canada, and hence the importance
of an open and clear communication, and the necessity of keeping back
the English interlopers, as the French were pleased to call them.
Kerlerec established a great number of posts and stations for trading
with the Salvages, and repelling the encroachments of the English.
In 1 758, the Lord of Rochmore arrived at New Orleans, and was made
Commissary General of the Marine, and Ordonnateur of Louisiana,
and consequently had under his care the many and remote posts of
La Balisc, La Pointe Coitpce, Natche's, Arl;ankas, Mobile, Porte des
Illinois, Fort du Quesne, &c. Hence, respecting a country of which so
little is known of this early period, these books supply ample and
Bibliotheca Historica 63
authentic information. They are the only copies we recollect to have
occurred for sale by auction. During the old Seven Years War of the
Boundaries in America between England and France, from Wash-
ington's first defeat on the Monongahela to the surrender of Canada in
1760, the French officers in Canada seem to have possessed an amount
of deviltrie in private grabbing and public thieving rarely surpassed,
even in our days of refined and daring raids on the public treasury.
The consequence was that after the Peace, when they were quarrelling
among themselves who should be greatest as well as richest, the French
Government decided, after the good old Spanish custom in Mexico and
Peru, as Canada had been lost, to give each officer a residencia in
Paris, and inquire into his stewardship. Almost all of them, even
Montcalm, who had gone from the heights of Abraham in 1759, in
the presence of Wolfe, were accused in some shape or other, and had to
hand in a statement and defence. These are the privately printed
papers, containing the history, biography, and defence of very many more
than are named in this catalogue. The sentences of the Court, and
some of the papers, are hardly known even to the briskest historian.
We know not if any more were ever printed. These seven lots, Nos.
546 to 552 inclusive, will be sold together, or separately, as it may be
determined on the day of sale.
553 CANADA. THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT PRI-
VATE Recoeds of the French Commanders in Chief
IN Canada during the Old Seten Years War,
comprising the Six Annual Campaigns from 1755 to 1760
inclusive, under Baron de Dieskaw, Marquis de Mont-
calm, Chevalier de Levis, etc. filling about 475 closely-
written folio pages, in excellent preservation, in the original
calf binding, unpublished, and we believe, never edited, or
even skimmed by any historian, folio, Canada, 1755-1760
It is not easy to overestimate the historical importance and literary
value of original unpublished National Munuscript Secret Records of
this kind. Nor is it possible for ns in a brief notice like this to con-
vey any adequate idea of the contents of our volume. Suffice it then to
say that it is not only the best basis at the present day, for the history of
the times and localities indicated, but it was the very contemporary
and daily private record on which the Commanders in Chief, such as
Baron de Dieskaw, the Marquis de Montcalm, and others, wrote their
reports and despatches to the Governor General ( Vaudreuil) at Montreal
or Quebec ; by whom the said documents were, days later, and some-
times under altered circumstances, cooked for the home eye in France.
For instance it is refreshing to the believer in the Truth of History crop-
ping up sometime, in spite of interested deflectors, to read herein the
secret records in 40 pages, of the short campaign of Baron Dieskaw in
1755, through Lake Champlain to Crown Point, Ticonderoga and Lake
George. In volume X of the Documents relating to the Colonial History
of New York, many of the important papers are printed, but so cooked
up by the Governor-General that we lose all sympathy with the unfor-
tunate Baron de Dieskaw, who was wounded and taken prisoner by
Gen. Johnson at the South End of Lake George, the 8th Sept. 1755.
Besides his instructions, plans, orders, etc. in this volume are the drafts
of two long letters to Vaudreuil, dated at Carillon (Crown Point) the
1st and 4th of Sept. the last on the eve of his departure for Ticonderoga
and Lake George to meet Johnson in battle, and only three days before
his repulse. The story of the unfortunate Dieskaw has never yet been
fairly told. The Campaigns of 1756, 1757, 1758, 1759 and 1760,
under Montcalm and de Levis, against the English by the way of
61 / Bibliotheca Geograpldca
Lakes Cliamplain and George, and Lake Ontario, are recorded in this
volume, L756 in 110 pages, 1757 in 87 pages, 1758 in 94 pages, 1759
in 98 pages, and 1760, to the 24th May, in 47 pages. The instructions,
the daily orders, the plans of Campaign, the order of Battles, the
arrangements and services of the Indians, are all noted herein, with
sometimes the services of spies and the drafts of letters to the Governor.
We know not the history of the volume, but it appears to be in the
handwriting of two different secretaries, who worked alternately under
Dicskaw, ]\Iontca]m, and Levis. The volume came some fifteen years
f)go from the family of Chevalier de Levis, the General serving at the
<ime of the Surrender. The whole volume, printed in the style of the
/' New York Documentary History, would fill probably some 350 large
/ quarto pages. By whomsoever published it would make an invaluable
/ companion volume to that not half appreciated series of Historical
/ Papers published by the State of New York.

the necessary and usual Spanish flourishes, in the finest
condition, on two folio leaves, stitched in a red morocco
cover. folio, not dated, lut 1519
Autograph letters of the "Apostle of the Indies," the good Las Casas,
are of the utmost rarity, and this is historically important as it is rare.
He had come home from Hispaniola to work a scheme for improving
and civilizing the Indians in Tierra Firme. A large grant of coast
from Darien to Trinidad of 3000 miles had been under negotiation.
The business was in the hands of Charles' Chancellor, Arborio de Gatti-
nara, who favoured Las Casas, but he was strongly opposed by the
Council of the Indies. Las Casas begins this letter by begging there
may be no more time wasted, as every day much fruit is lost to the
Church. He then recapitulates his former demands, which were for
1000 leagues of land, for which he would pay 50,000 ducats per three
years and make ten settlements of Christians. The Council had reduced
this to 600 leagues, in all which there were only two Provinces, Genu
and Santa Marta, of 100 leagues, with any gold, 2nd. He had asked
for the Peai-1 Fishery in Paria, and this they refused. 3rd. He now
says that as he has to take Christian laymen, principally Hidalgos and
persons of merit, they will not care to come where there is no gold.
4th. That as he wishes to begin by conciliating the Indians, he must
have some Franciscan Friars. 5th. That Lope de Sosa has plenty of
rich territory without Genu "for him to govern and his people destroy."
He then makes new and lessened demands: — 1st. For Genu, or at least
half of it. 2nd. That the other boundary be the Eio Dulce. 3rd. That
if Genu is taken away, the rent, &c. are to be diminished, and especially
L. de Sosa is to be forbidden to interfere with him. The Latin endorse-
ment by Gattinara is to the effect that the letter is to be attended to;
and since the good Father has caved in let him have his own way, but
cut down his indirect claims: the rent, &c. may be diminished as he
asks. " In short, drive your bargain gently, as you can best agree with
him, since the King does not mind about the rent."

A wonderful collection of more than 1700 volumes of Miscellaneous
Literature, commencing with the Abbey of Saint Asaph, a novel, and
winding up with Zimmerman on Solitude. It comprises the Sorrows
of Werter and Mary Wollstonecraft's Rights of Women (an additional
sorrow for Werther if he had lived to read it) ; Mrs. Behn's Plays, and
Fordyce's Sermons to Young Women ; Tom Paine's Age of lieason,
and Madame de Genlis on Religion ; Pamela, a Novel, and Paley's
Evidences of Christianity, stand one after the other ; and the Pupil of
Pleasure, a novel, is on the same page as Religious Courtship. Tom
Jones and Watts' s Hymns are in it of course, and Frazer's Art of Cook-
ery and Cun-ie's Diseases of America may possibly be talien together as
cause and effect. Sometimes good books get into bad company ;
Frederica, or Memoirs of a Young Lady, is no doubt a very innocent
novel, but being immediately followed by Frederic, or the Libertine,
some awkwai-d ideas are suggested. On the other hand, some of the
works which come together do so with singular propriety, as Friendship
and Matrimony, a Novel, followed by Fruitless Repentance ; the very
natural sequel to it. The Marriage Act, a novel, seems to have pro-
duced a dubious amount of good, as it is immediately followed by the
Married Libertine. One of the most thoroughly business-like entries
we have ever met with is that of Paradise Lost ; do. Regained. We
have not space for more, but if the good people of Boston read all
these books (and the Store was a Circulating Library), they must have
resembled Mrs. Malaprop's Niece, Lydia Languish, who told her servant
to put the Innocent Adultery into the Whole Duty of Man.
We may add that of the 1700 odd books contained in the Store, nearly
iive hundred are Novels.

The random statements of the Bishop amounted to charges that the
Colonists neglected education and the support of ministers, in fact,
" that, with their native soil, they abandoned their native manners and
religion." William Livingston gave the Bishop a hearty drubbing,
but this tract does more. It gives much information respecting Eliot,
Mayhew, and others instructing and preaching to the Indians, as well
as to the establishment of Harvard College, and other means of pi"o-
moting Christianity, and supplying ministers. The latter part of the
book is important as to the history of Episopacy in New England.

Great interest attaches to this rare book from the fact that the author
has recorded, on pages 773-795, the inscriptions on Sebastian Cabot's
map of the world, engraved by Clement Adams in 1549. This copy
differs from the text given by Hakluyt, and does not altogether agree
with the printed slips on the map which has in our days been acquired
by the National Library of Paris. It is generally asserted that Chy-
traeus found the map at Oxford, and consequently Americans have
sought for it there ; but the careful reader will see that it is by no means
"certain that the author makes any such assertion. What he records of
Cambridge is on 2\ pages, with a break. All he records of Oxford
is on one page, followed by another similar break, and on the next
page a double line — thus completely separating the Cabot matter from
Oxford.

This is a most suggestive book to the modern student of historical
geography. Clavius was one of the first mathematicians and astrono-
mers of his age. He was called from Germany by Gregory XHI to
revise the Calendar. He was alive to the importance of the new dis-
coveries of the Spanish and Portuguese, to which he continually al-
ludes, but his adherence through thick and thin to the old system of
Ptolemy and others, caused him to disregard the Copemican system, and
to hold to the old egotistical tlieory of ourselves being the centre of the
world, around which the sun and the whole heavenly sphere revolve.

In reference to the grand scheme of Las Casas [see No. 598 of this Cata-
logue] of civilizing and Christianizing the Indians of Tierra Firme
and Veragua. The Apostle of the Indians was bitterly opposed by
Fonseca and the Council of the Indies, but the young Emperor
favoured him, and asked Columbus to support Las Casas. This is
the Admiral's reply : — He begins by saying that since His Majesty is .
so anxious for the conversion of the Indians, he is willing to assist Las
Casas, and promises as follows —
1 . That in ten years he and Las Casas together will convert all the
Indians in the space between la Boca del Drago and the Cape of
Gracias a Dios.
-2. That in all the said space no Indian shall be killed or woman
ravished.
3. That all, or most, of the Indians should pay tribute.
4. That the rents shall not be diminished, because he will treat the
Indians kindly.
5. That he will found three pueblos annually.
6. That he will support the inhabitants without help from His Majesty.
7. That he will support 20 ecclesiastics.
8. In order to cairy out all this he asks a Bull from the Pope to absolve
those who die out there, and a license for 20 ecclesiastics to come oat.
Also that all the Indians of the Tierra Firme who have been taken to
_^ the Islands are to be set at liberty. After a number of less important
items, he asks for " 500 negro slaves to he divided amongst the pueilos."
He also asks that Lope de Sosa [in Darien] may be prevented from
treating the Indians as cruelly as Pedrarias did, and requests some
additional powers.
The Letter is endorsed— The agreement which the Admiral made jointly
with Las Casas for those of the Tierra Firme.

760 CORTES (Heenando) A long, highly interesting, and
historically important Manuscript Letter to the Emperor
Charles tjie Fifth, not dated, but having the Autograph
Signature of the Conqueeob of Mexico under his title
" El Maeqs del Valle," six closely written folio pages.
Autographs of the Conqueror of Mexico are of the highest degree of
rarity. This one is unquestionably genuine, but has been somewhat
injured by damp, and the autograph signature is rubbed and faded, but
may still be read. The Letter was manifestly written in 1541 or 1542,
when Las Casas and the Emperor were getting up their famous IVeiy
iaws o/ t/ie Iirtiies, first printed at Alcala in 1543, which iu behalf of
the Indians created a great sensation in Mexico, and a revolution in
Peru. The Emperor had asked Cortes' advice as to the Evcoiniendas,
the treatment of the Indians, and especially as to enslaving them. This
long letter is his reply. He advises their being taken under the protection
of the crown, and that if Spaniards have them in hereditary encomienda,
they must live with them in New Spain. He thinks that taking the
- Indians away from the Spaniards who already have them, would cause
great indignation and discontent. He advises discovei'ies of new lands,
and settling them with the Indians, but in such a manner that they will
be protected, preserved, and Christianized, but only by special license
and under experienced discoverers. He strongly advises that the
Council of the Indies shall inquire into the treatment of the Indians by
the Conquistadores, and that in all further conquests there are to be no
more slaves, or propcrtj^ in Indians.

The book opens with " Plymouth Controversy hath made a great noise

The subject, Baptism, is soon lost sight of, while the reverend writers
pommel and pulverise each other. They at the same time give us a
good deal of personal gossip respecting New England Ministers and
their customs and habits, which imparts a pleasant worldly flavour to
the book not intended, and renders it both useful and agreeable.

The edition of 1729 is generally considered the best of Dampier's
Voyages, though it contains much that he not only had no hand in
writing, but against which he protested. The truth appears to be that
he was at the mercy of his publisher, Knapton, who used Dampier's
saleable volumes as mules for carrying off his unsaleable stock.
Volumes I and II of the edition of 1729 are reprints of the earlier
editions, page for page, and with th& same plates and maps, except
that in the iirst volume, the publisher has suppressed Dampier's Dedi-
cation to Charles Mountague, President of the Royal Society, to make
room for a second title, "A New Voyage round the World," etc.
" The Seventh Edition Corrected," which here occupies A 2. Vol. III.
is a reprint of Dampier's third volume, but in a broader page, and
paged continuously. It has eight preliminary leaves, and the text is
paged 1 to 260, including the Index. The plates are the same as in the
previous editions. Beyond this Dampier had nothing to do with the
work. The remaining half of the third volume consists of a reprint of
Wafer's Voyage, which is here called the Third Edition. It contains
title and pages 263 to 463, followed by 9 pages of Index. The map
and the three plates are the same as in the first and second Editions,
published also by Knapton in 1699 and 1704. Volume IV contains
Funnell's Voyage, with a new title, thus Avorking in bodily the re-
mainder of the edition of 1707, against which Dampier protested. To
this are added reprints of Cowley's, Sharp's, Wood's, and Roberts'
Voyages, filling 175 pp. and 6 pp. of Index, with 5 maps. In some
cop'ies, however, Funnell's Voyage is reprinted with the same maps and
plates, but in a closer type, it being in 8 prel. leaves, 208 j^ages of text,
with 8 pages of Index.
With these facts in view, it seems to the writer that it is better to have
Dampier uudefiled, and therefore the best editions are his three volumes
as originally published. Then let the other works by Funnell, Wafer,
Sharp, &c. stand on their own merits, in their own editions, under their
OAvn names.

to mention her Prime Meridian, which Flamsteed had secured for her

Dr Deuber's History of Navigation in the Atlantic Ocean ; in proof that
long before Columbus America had been discovered, and also the
compass, the means for great sea voyages, before Flavio Gioja. An-
nexed is Chr. Columbus's own Account to Raphael Sanxis, Treasurer
to the King of Spain. The Preface commences thus : " The question
whether Christopher Columbus first discovered the Fourth Quarter of
the World, or only re-discovered it, is by fxr not so decided as the pre-
vailing opinion supposes ; it belongs rather to the contested points in
history on which scientific discussions are not yet concluded." The
Author has collected with true German industry all the passages
from an enormous number of works which seem to support his theory,
and argues the question well and fairly. As a work on the bibliography
of the subject alone it is valuable; but it is more. Notwithstanding,
however, all his research and learned ingenuity, the fame of Columbus
as a jnoneer and discoverer grows brighter and ibrighter. For fourteen
years before his grand discovery he was derided and insulted by the
Church and the Academy as a man out of his senses searching after im-
possibilities, and for fourteen years after he had given a new world to
Castile, he was ridiculed, ill-treated, and worried almost out of his
senses, and to death, because he pretended and claimed to have dis-
covered what everybody knew had been done before. Such was and is
too often the justice and gratitude of the pious and the learned in
matters about which they know nothing.

12*' Pierre Humbert, Amst. 1710
Nothing can surpass the simplicity of this author, except perhaps his
thin poetry. He sailed from La Rochelle in August, 1699, for Acadia.
In the first 118 pages he describes his voyage out, the climate, the
productions of Acadia, and the manners and customs of the inhabitants.
Pages 119-206 contain a history of the savages, and pages 207-236 an
account of his return home. Some copies end with page 236, but in
others, and this is one of them, the printer has added seven pages from
the Gazette of the 25th February, 1708, containing an interesting
account of the battles between the French and Acadians with the New
Englandei'S in Acadia, in the Autumn of 1707. The Author first wrote
truthfully, he says, his book in poetry (the language of the gods), but
his friends, much against his will, persuaded him to reduce it to the
language of mortals, so he slaughtered 5000 of his innocent children,
as he paternally calls his lines, and sandwiched the rest in slices of
prose. One scarcely regrets this sacrifice reading the poor lines re-
maining, not to name the compensation of Evangeline of the same
scene, written a century and a half later.

the Indians; and one poem, such as it is, never before published, M-as
actually written in Washington. The Poet was a friend of the editor,

This John Drake testifies that he was born in Devon, was a nephew of
Sir Francis and had sailed with him. Seiior Inquisitor Ulloa seems to
have extracted a good deal of valuable information from him respect-

A melancholy picture of the gradual but inevitable melt-
ing away of the red men of the forests of New England, in spite of the
rum, reason, religion, and civilization of the palefaces. Of the 1610 in-
dividuals remaining, still called Indians, our author gives a list of their
names, oges, sex, tribe, occupation, residence and property, a degene-
rate record. Their names are retained only in their Tribes, as Chap-
pequiddick, Marshpee, Natick, Puukapog, Hassanamisco, &c. Their
lank hair has lost its glossy blackness, then- complexion is tinged with
white or black, a mixture more disreputable than bad whisky. Of
those for whom Eliot translated the Bible, not one is left who knows a
word of his own language. Even the glories and pride of Savage life
have been extinguished by caste, by social exclusion, by civil disfran-
chisement, by unequal and unchristian laws. Lo. the poor Indian !
He has had no rights among Christians since Pope Alexander VI.
divided his patrimony between two thieves. This book is full of lessons
to the Ethnologist.

This is believed to be one of the rarest books of American poetry. The

And sent a wise and chosen race
To build and beautify the place.
And in his rambles continues so :
Now, eagle-eyed, I skulk about,
To find the different people out,
And trace them to their secret dens,

made a visit to the West Indies in 1671, and soon after swung round
to Maryland, Virginia, New York, Long Island, Rhode Island, and so
on to the Hub. In Virginia he called on Governor Berkeley, whom he
found " very peevish and brittle." At Khode Island he met with " one
Roger Williams, an old priest and an enemy to truth, had put forth
fourteen Propositions, as he called them, which he would maintain
against any of the Quakers that come from Old England, and chal-
lenged a dispute of seven of them at Newport in Rhode Island, and
the other seven at Providence." When the dispute came on " the
bitter old man could make nothing out." He returned to England
in 1677.

The maps in this volume, purporting to be after those of H. Mol, are
monuments of geographical ignorance or impudence. In the map of
New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, the four
great rivers — the Susquehanna, the Delaware, the Hudson, and the
Connecticut, all run due south parallel to each other from Canada on
45°. No wonder that the old Duke of Newcastle said he must go
and see the king when told that Newfoundland was an island, and
that it would be difficult to land troops there and march them on to
Boston.

i is an able summary of American discovery and history from the earliest
, to its publication. The chapters on the four voyages of Columbus are
elaborate. The work has generally been considered an abridgment of
the first eight parts of DeBry, but that is not so. Ens uses authorities
not included in that collection.

This original edition is as rare as it is important. Within a short time
after its publication it appeared in German in three different transla-
tions, also in Italian and Latin. It is a sort of Continuation of the
great work of Techo, and gives an account not only of the Chiquetos,
but many other tribes of Indians. The author was a Spanish Jesuit,
who lived many years in Paraguay, and became familiar with the
Indian languages and dialects. Backer and most other bibliographers
say that he died in 1672, and that this work was published a long time
after. This is a mistake. He was most likely born in 1672. The
book shows that he was labouring in many Reduccions between 1699
and 1718. It is the foundation of most of our Paraguay histories
between 1680 and 1717.

'J'his is a facsimile map, slightly reduced by photo-lithography, printed
for Mr. Henry Stevens in New York, in 1869, of Oronce Fine's famous
double-hearted projection of our entire globe, as he understood it in
1531, compiled from ancient authors and the accounts of recent navi-
gators, for the Paris edition of the Novus Okbis of 1532. Attached
to this facsimile is a translation of Fine's map into Mercator's projec-
tion, which at once reveals its weaknesses and errors. Though in many
respects far in advance of all other printed maps at this date, yet in
other respects it is the culmination of absurdities in speculative geo-
graphy. It is easy to trace out the authorities for almost any line of his
map, and now to sec how he misread them. Cortes' Relation with his
map of the Gulf of Mexico, printed in 152-i gave him Mexico and Cen-
tral America; and Marco Polo the names of Eastern Asia for the same
country. Remembering Marco Polo, the discovery of the Pacific, the
voyages of Corsali, Magellan, Varthema, the ancient writers, and the
Nuremburg Chronicle ; and not forgetting the old vague idea of a great
Southern Continent, he lays one down, larger than Europe, Asia, and
Africa together, calling one part Regio Patalis, probably from the Tatas
people whose feet were big enough for umbrellas, and other parts from
the fabled pigmies, or giants, or big birds. The truth seems to be that
the discovery of Anstralia consisted in eliminating a small continent by
actual observation from a big bogus one, and even that long after 1531,
and not by the French as has been inferred partly from this map. As
a geographer, a mathematician, an astronomer, and a calculator of
longitudes Fine must hereafter take high rank among authors who
]iromoted the progress of discovery. Every one of his works should be
studied by the American historian. Born at BrianQon in Dauphenu
in 1494, he came to Paris early to seek his fortune, edited Martini's
Arithmetic, his first book, in 1519, became Student and Professor in
the College of Navarre, revived the study of mathematics in France,
published many books of his own and edited others, and died poor in
Paris in 1555. — See Martini infra.

Evidently the author's pride and magnum opus, a very beautiful volume,
bearing throughout numerous marks of his exquisite taste, as well as
profound scholarship. The charming title-page is a study, and a bio-
graphy, showing his county, his motto, and his herculean labours. To
this he adds " Hanc Author propio pingebat marte figieram." The
headpieces represent emblems of studies, with his initials O. F., and his
own portrait appears in the large picture of the Typus universus Orbis
Avith his beloved Candida by his side, under the name Urania. His
initials are faintly given here also.

The historian of New England who neglects this author covers not
his field. The gossip about the New England Fathers is ample and
entertaining. Firniin was a Suffolk man, educated at Emanuel (?)
College, Cambridge, went to New England about 1634, and not long
after is fomid practising as a physician at Ipswich, in Massachusetts,
where lived and preached the Simple Coller of Agawam in America,
Nathaniel Ward. Firmin married Ward's daughter, became a theo-
logian, returned to England, and became " Minister of the Gospel at
Shalford, in Essex," from whence he was ejected in 1662, for Noncon-
formity. He then resumed his practice as a physician, and lived on till
1697. In neither profession was it his practice, as he says, to ad-
minister " a rousing vomit" to his patients, " when they had need of
other kinds of Physic." The biographical and bibliographical notices
of the two Thomases of New England, Hooker and Shepard,are valu-
able. See page 215, for an account of the spurious editions of the Sincere
Convert.

This extraordinary little book though compiled from Herrera and other
good Spanish authorities is valued chiefly for its long and quaint dedi-
cation to Don Pedro Columbus, who is styled Grand Admiral of the
Indies, Duke of Veragua, Duke of La Vega [in Santo Domingo],
Grandee of Spain, Marquis of Jamaica, Count of Helvas, Marquis of
Yilla-Mizar, Capt.-General of Marines and the Maritime Coasts of the
Low Countries, etc. Fronting this dedication are the arms of the
Columbus family \\'ith all the quarterings to this Don Pedro, with the
famous motto A Castilla i a Leon Nuevo Mvndo dio Colon. A full,
and probably correct, genealogy of the Columbus family is given from
Ferrero Colombo of Cuzaro, through Domenic and Christoper, Diego
and Louis, to our Pedro, who was son of Isabella, the third daughter
of Diego the Second Admiral, and who inherited after the direct line
ran out with the dissolute third Admiral Don Louis. The Great Admiral's
second son is called Fernando Henrequez, and our author says:
" Ferdinand Frere de D. Diego legua en mom-ant a la grande Eglise de
Seville, sa Bibliotheque de 13. mille volumes, et entre ceux la, la vie
de son incompai'able Pere, qu'il consecra dans un stile tres-elegant a
la posterite," a passage which, though it must be taken for what it is
worth, seems to have escaped tlae research of the iconoclasts of Anda-
lusia, who are out with a weak-eyed little book demolishing as bogus
this same Life of Christoper Columbus by his son. But the odd part
of this dedication of Gallardi is the cool repetition of the story of the
Pilot of Madeira dying in the house of Columbus, and in gratitude for
kindness revealing to him the discoveries he had made of lands in the
West, thus relieving Columbus of the originality and honour of his
discovery.

will have an increasing interest to those exploring the north-west,

is as commendable as his judgment is untrustworthy.

Although this uork is not unfrequently mentioned in Catalogues, its real
character and history seem ahnost unknown to Bibliopolists. Nicolas
Antonio states that Goveo travelled in America and wrote a work en-
titled Su Kaufragio y peregrinacion en la casta del Peru 1610, in 8°
which he subsequently translated into Latin but did not publish,,
although, says Antonio, when by the kindness of the author I read it,
it appeai'cd to me worthy of seeing the light on account of its elegance.
Antonio adds that we have a Latin translation by Joannes Bisselius,
Argonauticorum Americanorum, etc. the work before us, but on exami-
nation this is evidently not a translation of any authentic history, since
it resembles a Sinbad-the-Sailor and Eobinson-Crusoe concoction.
Indeed the penitential reflections of the hero when he first gets into
trouble are so alike in tone to those of Robinson himself, that one
might almost fancy De Foe had read it. There also are a great many
long speeches inserted on a purely classical model. The little book is a
sort of experimental model of Bissel's new method of making history
attractive. He sticks to History when he can find it, (and he seems to
have read extensively works on the early voyages), but, like Eollin, does
not shrink from employing the adornments of imagination. We have
not yet seen the man who has seen the original Spanish edition ; and
were it not for the remark of Antonio we should, without further evi-
dence, question its existence. Tlie learned author of the Billiotheca
Americana Yetustissima, in his Additions, recently published in
Paris, appears, however, not to be of this opinion, for he gives under
No. 37, page 49, the original Spanish title in full, Mith collation and
description of the book apparently de visu, as printed, " En Sevilla
X>or Clemente Hidalgo. Ano 1510," and adds these pertinent remarks:
"The work is divided into 8 books. The 1st treats of the author's
voyage from Spain to Panama ; the 2nd, from Panama to the coast of
Peru ; the 3rd, 4th, 5th, of Gobeo's shipwreck and adventures ; the 6th
is his life of Santa Teotista, a nun from Lesbos; the 7th, his escape from
death ; and the last an account of his becoming a priest and jouiing
the order of Jesuits. He died at Sevilla, ' extra Societal em fer6 sep-
tuagenarius,' says Antonio." How Goveo could have get to Panama
before Nunez de Balboa, and down from Panama to Peru in 1510, so
long before Pizarro's trip thither, puzzles us at present ; but no doubt
Ander Schiffaiirt's Second Voyage, (which we have ordered; when
it turns up, will explain the mystery in his famous Dedication.

)6 HAMILTON (Alexander, Late Secretary of the
Treasury) Observations on Certain Documents con-

Treasury, is fully refuted. Written bt Himself. Glenn
copy on a foul suhject. 8° John Fenno, Philadelphia, 1797
' Written by himself," or this little book of 96 pages would most likely
have been pronounced the greatest libel upon the greatest man New
York ever produced. It has been claimed to the honor of his friends
that they endeavored to suppress it. It was copyrighted, and never
reprinted but once until recently, but scarce as it has become, it is now
part of American hterature. The author writes on p. 5 : " Merely be-
cause I retained an opinion once common to me and the most influencial
of those who opposed me, That the public debt ought to be provided for
on the basis of the contract ivpon which it was created, I have been
wickedly accused with wantonly increasing the public burthen many
millions, in order to promote a stock-jobbing interest of myself and
friends." Having been cleared from all these accusations by Com-
mittees of Congress composed mainly of his most intelligent and
active enemies, he was finally charged with " a connection with
one James Reynolds for purposes of improper pecuniary speculation."
To extricate himself from this jimfiscal comer Mr. Hamilton wrote this
book. Clear himself he did, most assuredly, of the charge, but in doing
so it has been thought by some that he sawed off a leg to cure a com.
*' My real crime," confesses the late Secretary not without a blush, " i3
an amorous connection with his [Reynolds] wife for a considerable
time, with his privity and connivance." That was how he came to be
the private banker of the husband of Mrs. Reynolds, " from whose con-
versation it was quickly apparent that other than pecuniary consolation
would be acceptable," p. 18. Truth never appeared so naked as in
these confessions of Alexander Hamilton.

This book was published in numbers, as a kind of continuation, though
a separate work, of the American Annual Register for 1796. In the
early numbers are contained those famous charges of peculation
against Alexander Plamilton, which finally induced that distinguished
Statesman to saw a leg off to cure a corn. See his exculpation, No. 1306

This is perhaps the wittiest, spiciest, keenest, and truthfulest Discoursi
ever preached in New England. It must be read to be appreciated. I
is purely historical and full of home thrusts, but in such perfect simpli-
city and good faith that none was offended. Mr. Howe had for a lonf
time been pastor over this Hopkinton flook, growing poorer and poorei
as the cost of living increased and the currency became depreciated,
His efforts for increase of salary had failed. The Century at last came
round and he preached to his sheep from this text, " 2 Peter i. 13—
Yea I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you upj
by putting you in remembrance." And stir them up he did. Tht'
Sermon was reviewed in the "North American Review most favourably
and in a subsequent edition Mr. Howe noticed the reviewer. His sheej
did not increase his salary, but immediately after the sermon thejj
bought him a new suit of clothes, which he acknowledges in the thirc
edition.

The money-getting earnestness of this book may well shock the sensi-

Traders of last century. The key note of the work is found in the
following question from page 3, " Will not every British Planter in
America, and every West India Merchant in England grant, that the
Negro Trade on the Coast of Africa is the chief and fundamental support
of the British Colonies and Plantations in America ? Should our
most formidable rivals monopolize the whole African Trade to them-
selves ; will they not naturally furnish their own Colonies with the
best of Negroes, and suffer Englishmen to purchase their Refuse
only ?" Refuse negroes ! for Englishmen ! and that in 1744 !

have been to post up into one little book all the knowledge and all
the ignorance respecting our globe that could be collected from the
ancients, as well as medi£eval writers, so as to start fair with the
new light to be let in by Columbus. It is a sort of alphabetical

This is the original and excessively rare edition of Cotton Mather's
famous Essays to do Good. A perfect copy is perhaps the rarest of all
this author's works. This copy is not so imperfect as the one Franklin
extracted so much good from. " Permit me to mention one little in-
stance," wrote Dr. Franklin in the late evening of life to a son of Dr.
Mather, " which, though it relates to myself, will not be quite unin-
teresting to you. When I was a boy I met with a book, entitled, Essai/s
to do Good, which I think was written by your father. It had been so
little regarded by its former possessor, that several leaves of it were
torn out ; but the remainder gave me such a turn of thinking, as to have
an inflaence on my conduct through life; for I have always seta greater
value on the character of a doer of good than any other kind of reputa-
tion ; and if I have been, as you seem to think, a useful citizen, the public
owes the advantage of it to that book.' ' The present copy wants only
the title.

Hereby hangs a funny tale. About the year 1714, Cotton Mather in
Boston was dubbed with F.E.S.,atrinityof capitals which flattering his
vanity he adopted and wore, though somewhat against his previous
teachings in regard to worldly distinctions. The first of his 383 books
that came out after the receipt of this polished handle bore F.R.S. after
his name, much to the astonishment of his rivals, and amusement of his j
fellow citizens. He immediately wrote to the Secretary of the Eoyal '
Society thanking him, and continued through life to be an active cor-
respondent, all but the first letter being still preserved by the Society.
The letter of thanks, however, for some reason never got among the
records, but eventually fell among autograph-mongers, and found its
way to New York. Some, in the Doctor's lifetime, said he had been
hoaxed, and never was really elected, while others, and among them his
son, manfully contended that he was really one of the Philosophers.
This book was written during the controversy to show that he was both
competent and willing to be an F.R.S. To this day the question is not
settled — Was Cotton Mather an F.R.S. ? There is nothing in the
Society's records to show it, though the names of a dozen other Ame-
ricans are recorded. We believe he was regularly elected, and entitled
to his Letters, the records being in fault and not he, and trust that
some day that ancient and honourable Society in furbishing its jewels
will find the old Boston one, and restore it to its place and to the cata-
logue of members.

On page eleven of this historical Inventory ono may read • " The
Peabody Index to the Maryland Documents in the State Paper Office
London," is an invaluable series of extracts and descriptions of o7ie
thousand seven hundred and twenty -nine documents, extending from
1626 to 1780, exhibiting a chronological reference to the complete^Colo-
nial History of Maryland. " These transcripts were made at the cost of
our benefactor, Mr. George Peabody, presented to us by him enclosed
in eleven solander cases, and are said to contain an account of every-
thing attainable on the subject in the State paper Office in London at
the period when they were made." This statement is so unfair that
we are tempted to explain. This elaborate Index was made many years
ago by Mr. Henry Stevens of Vermont, at his own suggestion cost and
charges, and was lettered on the backs of the cases, " The Stevens In-
dex of Maryland Documents," &c. It was subsequently sold to Mr
George Peabody for the small sum of £100, less than the cost, and was
sent by Mr. Stevens to the Maryland Historical Society, by desire of
his friend Mr. Peabody, it being between them distinctly understood
that it was to be lettered and known as the Stevens Index. Mr Pea-
body should therefore be credited with a gift of £100, and Mr. Stevens
with the origin and execution of the Index which bears his name

While tlie writer in this elaborate Discourse, delivered in Boston, on the |

Higher Powers so long as they stand by the law and the constitution
and no longer, he boldly asserts that resistance to tyranny is obedience
to God, as well in Church as in State. He speaks strongly and his-
torically against the Saintship and Martyrdom of Charles, with an ir-
reverent ghbness of tongue, akin to the feeling which until recently
caused the bells of New Haven in Connecticut to ring a merry peal
every year on the 30th of Jan., in honour of the regicides buried
there.

Valuable historical and geographical books, like every thing else, have
their ups and downs in demand and price. This book has long been
d,own, but the recent restless activity of the North Western Americana
and British Columbians has at last brought it up. The maps showing!
the tracks of the Iphigenia and the Felicias, and the discoveries of the 1
Boston ship Washington, are of great interest and value, though the
controversial and partisan statements of the Author call for vigorous
scrutiny. The acquisition of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska, and the
partial hemming in of British Columbia by the model Republic, must
give a geographical importance to this book which it never before

rhe story of this Book is too lonfi; to be told here, but it has played, arid
is still destined to play, a prominent part in the early geographical
history of the Western hemisphere. The editor's real name was
Joachim Watt, born at St. Gall, in Switzerland, November 29, 1484,
but educated chiefly at Vienna. Although a classical scholar, theo-
logian, and poet, he seems to have been an arduous student of geogra-
phy. He studied geography and medicine under Georgius Colimitius
and Gamers, and himself lectured to the Students of Vienna before he
was thirty. In fact the best books we have on the geographical effects
of the discoveries of Columbus, Vespucci, the Cabots, Dias, Da Gama,
Cabral, etc., came from two distinct fraternities of students ; the one at
2 E
210 Bihliutheca Geographica
St. Die, of whom Pliilesius was the soul, and the other at Vienna, of
whom Vaelianus was the moving spirit. While at !St. Die they were
working upon I'tolemy, at Vienna they were expounding and editing
Solinus and Mela. It will not be dithcult, probably, to show a connec-
tion between these two gymnasiums. Indeed, this volume helps us to
many important facts. From St. Die came the suggestion to name the
Mundus Noviis of Vespucci America. Vadianus, in his famous letter
to Agricola, dated in Nov. 1514, and first printed in small quarto at
Vienna in July, 1515, adopts the suggestion. The same year Lucas
Atlantse, an enterprising publisher of Vienna, announced as having on
his anvils the works of Solinus, edited by Camers, and Pomponids
Mela, by Vadianus. Vadianus had his Scholia on Mela far advanced
in 151-i, but he did not finish and publish the work till 1518. In his
Scholia he repeatedly refers to his letter to Agricola, and in his letter
also to his Scholia upon Mela, showing that he had them in hand at the
same time. In his prolegomena he defines geograi)hy, cosmography,
&c., and has a very important paper upon maps of the ancients, and
the necessity of properly laying down the new discoveries then (1514)
so rapidly advancing. Indeed his Scholia and his letter to Agricola
together amount to something like a new description of the world under
the new light, from the far east and the far west, something after the
manner of that of Beneventanus in the Ptolemy of 1508, only half a
dozen years before, but these six years show a great advance on some
points. 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 Solinds of Camers. This map, the first one
known with the name America, was no doubt intended for only the
Solinus. This editii. n of Mela is imiform in size with Solinus, and aftei
152U they were issued together. Apianus' map when found at all, if
usually bound in the middle, between the two. It is therefore difficult
to determine that the map does not belong to Mela, especially as the
copy of the edition of 15-22 in the British Museum bound with Solinus.
has it as well as the Solinus. Vadianus leturned to St. Gall, his nativf
place, and practised as a physician, but kept up till long after his
interest in geographical studies. Having quarrelled with Camers, he
re edited his Pomponius Mela, and caused it to be re-issued at Basil ir
1522, inscribing it, in an explanatory letter, dated at St. Gall, in April
1521, to his ti-iend. Dr. Faber. This was the Faber, a native oj
Etaples, near Boulogne, a mathematician, an astronomer, and a geo-
grapher, who had, with others in 1499 published at Venice that superl
edition of Sacrobosco, posting up cosmography and nautical astronomj
to that date, and who, as Professor at Paris, in 1504, stimulated his
young pupil, Mathias Kingman, to the study of cosmography. King-
man, born at Schlestadt, not far from Strasburg, having read at Paris
the letter of Vespucci, translated by Giocondi, as appears by Ludd's
Speculum Orhis. 1507, also residing in Paris, found his youthful mine
fired by it to such an extent that on returning home he translated intc
German and printed at Strasburg, in August, 1505, Vespucci's thirc
Voyage. He soon after travelled into Italy, from whence he broughi
back a Greek MS. of Ptolemy, given him by Pico de Mirandola. This
manuscript he took with him to St. Die, in Lorraine, where he had beer
appointed Professor in the Gymnasium, and became, as Philesius, th(
moving spirit of that small circle of Professors and Canons, under the
patronage of Kene the Second, who gave a name to the new world
renown to St. Die, and the Ptolemy of 1513 to the Press. Thus these
two knots of earnest students were advancing geography at the same
time, by editing different works. Throughout the Scholia of this work
Vadianus refers frequently to Vesputius and the discoveries of the
Portuguese and Spaniards.

Who Edward Melton, Englishman, was, no fellow can find out. He was
probably some bookseller's compiling hack, who assumed this English

Bucaniers, and partly to the Dutch Province of New Netherlands or
New York. This part is esteemed pretty good, though it is not difficult
to see whence he stole the bulk of it. The view of the Cohose falls on

For historical geography of the whole of the United States between tl
Rocky Mountains and Eastern Maine, and all Canada as far north !
50°, few maps surpass this in importance. It shows at a glance tl
boundaries claimed by the French, English, and Spanish. The territori:
claims of the French are well defined by two colours, under the nami
of Canada and Louisiana, with all the rivers, forts, tribes of Indian
etc. laid down. The boundary line of English colonies extends froi
about 45° on the Kennebock river to the nortu end of Lake Champlaii
down the centre of the lake to Ticonderoga, or White-Hall, them
south-westerly across the Mohawk river to the Susquehanna, nei
Harrisburgh, then down that river to the Maryland line, thence west 1
the Alleghany Mountains, following that chain down to the Sani
river, down that a long distance to the place crossed by de Soto, i
1510, thence South-west to Ediscu river, and down it to the Atlantic
that is, including all the country on the coast from South Carolina 1
Maine, cutting off all west of the Mountains in Carolina and Virginii
leaving Lake George and all western New York and Pennsylvania i
Louisiana. The Spanish possessions, called Florida, are defined on tl
North and West by the route of de Soto in 1540, including, bcsid(
Florida proper, the whole of Georgia and Alabama. Louisiana extenc
from Mobile Bay to the Rio del Norte on the south, including the Mi
sissippi river and all its tributaries east and west to the Grand Lake
not to forget half of Lake Champlain and the whole of Lake Georg
The routes of many travellers are indicated with their respective date
as de Soto's in 1539-40, Hennepin's 1687, de Tonty in 16—, IV
Cavelier in 1657, St. Denis in 1713-1715, M. Fienville, of the Spaniarc
in 1689, La Hontau in , etc. This map was a long time in prin
altered from time to time, and was no doubt used as late as the begir
ning of the old French war. There is a view of the Falls of Niagan
the Beavers at work, and a portrait of a Buffalo.

UNCUT, excessively rare. 8" James Chattin, Philadelphia, 1753
The first part of More's Utopia was originally published in 1516. The
author professes to have drawn his information respecting this wonderful
Commonwealth from Raphael Hythloday, through the introduction of
his ft-iend Peter Giles at Antwerp. Of Raphael he says, " The patri-
mony that he was born unto, he left to his Brethren (for he is a Portu-
guese born), and for the desire he had to see and know the far Countries
of the World, he joined himself in Company with Americus Vespu-
Tius ; and in the three last Voyages of these four that are in Print,
[Cosmographiae Introductio, 1507] and abroad in every Man's Hands,
he continued still in his Company, saving that in the last Voyage he
came not home again with him. For he made such Means and Shift,
what by Intreaty, and what by importunate Suit, that he got Licence of
Master Americus ( tho' it was sore against his Will) to be one of the
twenty-four, which in the end of the last Voyage were left at New-
Castile," etc. etc. A recent author to whom all this had been carelessly
drizzled in 1868, in the present year gives the full title, and then adds
" We cannot, of course, include in a collection of books relating to
America Moore's Utopia, although," etc. But he does include many
that contain far less in them.

In fhis edition the first word of the title, Strength, is in large capitals
filling a whole line. It is more closely printed than the other, ending
on page 34 the verso of F 3. The Preface to the Header on the reverse
of 13 has only 14 signatures. It is difficult to say which of these two is
the earlier edition. There must have been at least four entirely distinct
editions of this work the same year 1652, inasmuch as this one diflTers
throughout from Nos. 1978, 1979, and 1980 of Stevens's Nuggets.

This large and well-engraved map will extract a smile from any geo-
grapher. The dividing line between New England and New Neder-
land extends from the St. Lawrence, through the middle of Lake
Champlain to Ticonderaga, and thence a little east of south to the
head of Narragansett Bay ! Connecticut River is in the right place, but
Lake Champlain, and Iroquois Lake (Lake George), are east of it. The
St. Lawrence river bounds both New England and New York on the
North. Seneca Lake is about 60 miles West of the Hudson, and has
an outlet into the Hudson, called Esopus river. There is no Connec-
ticut or Rhode Island Colony, and Massachuset is laid down as a tribe
of Indians.

A beautifully engraved map, and very elaborate, but all askew. The

down as Almouchi.

boundaries of the English, French, and Spanish Colonies are also
attempted. The great Lakes and the Mississippi are fairly laid down.

A very curious map, manufactured from a French point of view. From
Carolina to the Grand Bank is called Mer de Canada ; Lake Erie
extends into Virginia. The Mississippi River has not yet been found,

, This large collection of Voyages, compiled by J. Iluttich, and edited
by Simon Grynsens, with a Geographical Preface by Sebastian Muen-
j ster, all of the old University of Basle, at the expense of Jo. Herva-
' gius, a Basle 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 unfindable. Considering the date of the first edition
' of 1532, the reader should study some of the voyages with both his
! eyes open, the, one to detect the mistranslations and the other the mis-
conceptions of inland geographers, who misread the reports of the navi-
gators. The volume contains, 1. The voyages of Cadamosto down the
coast of Africa in 1454-1455; 2. The first three voyages of Columbus,
' 1492-1498 ; 3. Of Vincent Pinzon to Brazil in 1499 ; 4. The four voyages
i of Vespucci, 1497-1504; 5. Of Pedro Alvarez Cabral, 1500-1501;
; 6. Letter of King Emanuel to Leo X respecting the discoveries of the
I Portuguese in India, 1513; The Voyages of Varthema; 7. Description
of the Holy Land, in the 13th century, by Brocard; 8. The Kelation of
Joseph the Indian; 9. The three works of Marco Polo; 10. Haython's
•■ account of the Tartars ; 11. Sarmatia, by Mathew Miechow; 12. Mus-
i covie, by Paulus Jovius; 13. Peter Martyr's newly discovered Islands;
j« 14. Stella on the Antiquities of Prussia; 15. Letter of Maximilian of
' Transylvania, Secretary of Charles V, to the Cardinal of Saltzburg,
' dated Oct. 24, 1522, giving an account of the voyages of Magellan,
\ 1519-1522; 16. The Relations of Fernando Cortes; 17. Two letters
I respecting the Gospel among the Indians; 18. Letter from " Mexico in
Huketan"; 19. N. Herborn's Epitome of the Conversion of the Indies.
The last four are not in the editions of 1532 or 1537. The Map,
though by the great geographer Muonster, is much behind time, and
brings the progress of discovery down only to about 1510.

First and excessively kaee edition. There were several editions i
Latin, Dutch and German, between 1570 and 1600 with new maps, an'
retouches of the original ones, some dated, and others not, so that on
feels not entirely safe in investigating the earliest geography of AmericI
till he can eye this original Latin edition of 1570. A thorough study c
Ortelius is of the last importance to the student of the geography of th
western hemisphere. He was a bibliographer, a cartographer, and a
antiquarian, as M'ell as a good mathematician and geographer, and wha
is of infinite importance to us now, he gave his authorities, INIany cf th!
rampant errors that disturb and puzzle us can be treed and flayed by th
help of Ortelius. It was Ortelius' famous list of authorities that firs
gave to Humboldt the hint that Hylacomilus and Waldseemuller wer
one and the same person, the key to his investigations upon the St. Di
fraternity, and the Vespucci voyages. When in 1862 that other valil
able key, Walter Lud's OrbisSj'ecMlwm, printed in 1507, was discovere
by the writer, and found to disclose the secrets of several of the St, Di
books, and when he could find no record of it elsewhere, he was delighte
to find that it had not escaped Ortelius, but was recorded by him und(
the title, Gualtekus Ludovicds. The book by Lud explained th
reference, and gave us still more confidence in the List though there ai
other books recorded in it of which bibliographers yet know nothing.

Fine copy, calf. folio, Henricus Fetrus, FasiletB, 153:
This rare book lias hitherto been valued by American Collectors, maiul.
because it contains an early reprint of the celebrated Letter of Colum
bus written from Lisbon, in March, 1493, to Eaphael Sauxis, respect
ing his discovery by a western route of certain Islands of India beyon
the Ganges. But the collection of these six documents in one volum
has a peculiar appropriateness in exhibiting, in a striking manner, th
grand features of the gigantic struggle of seven hundred years betwee
the Christians and Mohammedans. Mohammedanism withstood th
Crusades and the subsequent wars, but it yielded after the fall c
Granada, when Columbus gave a new world to Christendom, and th;
Portuguese went forth to explore and Christianize the East. I

As it is impossible for the thorongli student of mediaeval geography
bndge an inch without having read the works of Maeino Sanuto, !
no thorouoh student of historical geography, especially African ar
American of the last half of the sixteenth century, can touch botto;
in his subject till he has digested this work of Livio Sanuto. To hi:
more perhaps than to anyone writer we owe the clearing up of tl
subject, and the brushing away the rubbish and blunders of the inlai
German and French geographers of the previous half century, such i
Schoner, Apianus, Muenster, Fine and others.
Livio was the son of the Senator Francesco Sanuto, of Venice. In you
he visited Germany to study Mathematics. Being of a practical tur
he made many mathematical instruments, according to the precepts
Ptolemy and others, which were preserved in his family. He ne:
applied himself to Cosmography, and collected out of the best auth
rities materials for a Terrestrial Globe in which he was assisted by h
brother Giulio, who engraved all the plates with his own hand. Obser
ing that Africa was imperfectly described, he set to work and compil
this Book with its 12 large maps drawn by himself and engrav
by his brother. He intended to publish descriptions of the other pai
of the World, but died about 1585, at the age of fifty-six. The prese
work is therefore posthumous and was edited by Damiano Zenaro, w
dedicated it to Benedetto Zorzi, son of the Signor Aluise. The thr
excellent Tables of Contents were made by Giovan Carlo Saracei
The beautiful engraved title page is by Giacomo Franco.
Books I & II treat of Cosmography in general, especially of Latitudes ail
Longitudes, and how to determine them. lie speaks frequently of t
Piloto maggiore Sebastian Cabot, and says that having learned frc
Oviedo and others that he had explained to Henry VII the variati
of the needle, Sanuto became intensely anxious to know Cabot's poi
of mo variation. He therefore instituted a triangular corresponder
through his friend Guido Gianetti da Fano, once Venetian Ambassac
in England, who wrote to Bartholomew Compagni in London, w,
obtained for Cabot the necessary information. At folio 16, he ci
Ban-OS, and says it is evident from what he states that Asia cannot
joined to the New World. He goes on to quote Zeno, who makes F
gronelandia bounded by the Ocean. He then blames Oronce Fine [i
N° 1046 of this Catalogue] and Vopellio for joining Mexico and Cath^
and marvels how they could make such a blunder when Cortes, Goma
and others had stated that the Mexicans fled at the sight of a hor
an animahvhich abounds in Asia. In a similar way, in many instauci
Bibliotheca Hisforica 283
he sets matters right. The rest of the volume is a kind of Gazetteer of
Africa, arranged in departments.
In Book III he begins his geographical description of Africa, by giving first
its boundaries and divisions, and then commencing with the Islands on
the North- West, he describes the Canaries, the Cape Verde Islands, &c.
Book IV commences with Fez; V with Telensin ; VI with Numidia; VII
with Gialofo (between the Rivers Canaga and Gambia) ; VIII contains
an account of all the Rivers of Africa (he makes the Nile to rise from
two great Lakes in the Kingdom of Prester John), and he then gives
the names of all the peoples in Western Africa ; IX Abyssinia and
Egypt; X Ethiopia; XI Bugia, Barnagaes and Prester John, and
XII Lower Ethiopia.
Of course Sanuto describes the manners and customs of Africa in this Ga-
zetteer but he does it under the name of each place. Speaking of Cairo,
folio 107, he says that they punish a murderer by cutting him in two and
putting the upper half of the body with the head upon a dish of quick-
lime, where, he states, it remains alive for a quarter of an hour, keeps
on talking, and answers any questions put to it ! As to CaUigara, he
is of opinion that previous writers have blundered about it, for that in
circumnavigating the globe, nothing was found but sea in the place where
Ptolemy and others had placed Cattigara, and they thought that if it
was in that latitude at all, it might be in the longitude of Peru. For
some other interesting particulars concerning our author, consult Biddle,
p. 31 and 178, and Lelewel, and the Preface of the following work by
Marino Sanuto.

This is the largest, most elaborate and important map ever got up of
South America, but from some cause or other, never sufEciently ex-
plained, it was never published. Humboldt somewhere informs us that
the plates were destroyed by order of the Spanish Government, and
that but very few copies got out. He says, that he himself was for-
tunate enough to secure a copy for himself and Bonpland in 1799,
before their departure on their great American travels, for which he
paid 15 Napoleons. Copies are very seldom found in catalogues, and
almost never have been sold by auction.

Two points only prevented the closing up and settling the difficulties
with Spain. These are discussed, or rather bandied back and forth in
this book. The English, through their pirates, bucaniers and colonists,
had encroached and poached upon the logwood countries in Campeehe
and Yucatan, building sundry small settlements, and desu'ed to con-
tinue the logwood trade though willing to back down on the territorial
rights. All this the Spaniards demurred to, but on the other hand
claimed the right to take Codfish on the Newfoundland Banks on the
strength of long usage and prior discovery by the Biscayans. England
would not hear of this, but plead discovery by the Cabots in 1497, and
continued possession since.

In addition to the interesting nature of the subject, this poem is one of
the most thoroughly Tirgilian ever penned. It reads lilce an American
jEneid with the episode of Anacaona substituted for that of Dido. As
a specimen of the style we take the following from Anacaon^'s
Soliloquy : —
" Ipsa humiles inter populos, gentis subactas
Septa armis soiioque alte subnixa superbo
Et colar, et foelix mirando conjuge dicar:
Quod si forte alias classem convertet ad oras
Per freta longa sequar, casus quicunque manebunt
Semper erit caro comes Anacaona Columbo."
Or take again the following lines when she failed to persuade
Columbus : —
"Mox sic canentem dictis affatnr Inaspim
Qui tenero maguEe custos infantis ab isevo
Ilegiuse multo ante alios dilectus aniore."

2618 Stephens (William) Castle Builders ; or the History
of William Stephens of the Isle of Wight, Esq. lately de-

calf. 8° For the Author, London, 1759
This William Stephens resided sixteen years in Georgia, and was the first
Secretary of that Colony and keejjcr ofits Blacic Book, a list of the dis- '
reputable characters that were induced to become voluntary and involun-
tary emigrants on the pious founding of that Colony. Into his black book
•were posted their antecedents, and their actions and behaviour for three i
years after landing in Georgia. This Record still exists in England,
and contains a mine of valuable American genealogical materials.
Tew families in that country can boast of genealogical trees of harder
wood; or can trace more minute historical and genealogical particulars
of their English ancestors than those who have descended from some of
the early emigrants to Georgia, whose names were so carefully recorded
by William Stephens, the First Historian of that Colony. The manuscript
volumes, with other early records of Georgia, filling 21 folio volumes,
were once, under promise of secrecy, deposited with the writer for four
hours, and offered for £500. He offered £300 and lost the prize. When
by death the obligation of secrecy was removed he invited a distinguished
collector to breakfast and communicated to him the circunistances.
Within three days the collection changed hands, and now slumbers in
the West of England. When it shall wake to the public use, this
poor political novel and everything else pertaining to William Stephens
will no doubt awaken to new interest.

First edition, of the very highest rarity and geographical importance.
With the exception of the Letters of Columbns and Vespucci, and the \
first Decade of Peter Martyr of 1511, we know of no other single !
publication up to 1515 comparable with this in point of historical and,
geographical interest, so far as the new discoveries affect the geography i
of the ancients and are interpreted by it. We neither forget nor un- !
dervalue the Ptolemy of 1508 (with its extraordinary map by Johani
Kuysch and The New Description of the World by Beneventanus,) nor:
the editions of 1511 and 1513, nor the geographical work of Schoner
this same year. This little look of Vadianus was suggested and
edited by his friend Rudolfus Agricola, who gives his Dedicatory
Letter to Caspar Ursinus. Then follows Agricola'^ Letter to Vadianus
(omitted in the Pomponius Mela of 1518, where this letter of Vadianus
is reprinted in full) in which, after some pleasant gossip, Agricola asks
him to explain a passage in Pliny abou the Pygmies, a line joj
Persius —
" Sic costam longo subduximus Apennino ;"
and thirdly, to give his opinion about the Antipodes, which, he says, i
denied by Lactantius, Firmianus, and Augustine; while Pliny, Pompo-
nius Strabo, Macrobius, and many others do not deny them, although!
they speak differently about them. He adds that Laurentius Corvinus,;
his beloved preceptor, agrees with the Moderns, but he himself does
not know what to do between the Fathers and the learned authorities.
He then says : " It has not escaped me with what diligence you have
promised the books of Pomponius Mela de situ orbis to the studious next
fiwmmer." [See No 1824 of this catalogue under Mela.] Agricola's
Letter is dated 1 September, 1514. In a postscript, he asks questions
about Lake Acromus, Venetus, a passage in Lucan, etc. _
In his answer to Agricola's Letter, Vadianus, after replying to the
first two queries, has a very long dissertation upon the Antipodes, whose
existence he demonstrates in a variety of ways, telling Agricola that
he ought to be as certain that there are Antipodes as that he has fingers
and nails. He enters at length on the question of the relative latitude
and longitude of Antipodes in different parts, etc. He demolishes the
old objection of people walking with their heads downwards by saying
that evervthing tends to the centre of gravity [and this two cen-
turies before the fall of Newton's apple, and the new birth of the
doctrine of gravitation.] He refutes Augustine and Lactantius at
length. He says that to get to Catagara its Antipodes will be in
JBibliotJieca Histonca 321
Western Africa, near the Sinus Hcsperius, but that the inhabitants of
America have their Antijiodes much more to this side. He also says
he will ■vvrite more about the Perimci in his Annotations {Prcenota-
mentis) to Pomponius. Throughout the treatise he seems well posted in
the progress of discovery by the Portuguese and Spanish, and is
acquainted with all the books printed relative to them. He adopts
without hesitation the suggestion of the Gymnasium of St Die, and
calls the Mundus Novics (that is Brasil) America, without explanation
or qualification. It is not a little singular that this original special
edition is not noticed by any geographers or bibliographers who have
written about America, though Humboldt, D'Aavezac, and many others
have used with effect the reprint of it at the end of the Pomponius Mela
1518. Dated 16 Oct. 1514.

2801 Valentinus (Bishop) Seculi a Christo uato Decimi
septimi Symbola Eteologica, ex Veteri et Novo Sacrorum
Bij)liorum Testamento collecta, a rare little book of Chro-
nograms. 8** loh. Gorman, Witteherc/ce, 1608
An exceedingly curious volume filled with ingenious and pious trifling.
There is collected under every year for 100 years, from 1600 to 1700, a
large number of texts of Scripture with the references to chapter and
verse so printed that the Koman numerals will correctly express the
given year. For instance, under the given year 1620 there are 49
texts to express that year, for example, DeVs tWs est te CVM.
2 Sam. 14, ver. 17 = 1620. ReX SaLoMon beneDICtVs = 1666.
Drop the M, which stands for a thousand, by printing the word, Sa Loon,
and you have 666 the number of the beast, out of the same text, with
less trifling perhaps than it took Macaulay to derive the same sacred
number from the House of Commons, by counting the members and
eight officers. No doubt this industrious trifling kept the Bishop out of
the mischief of idleness, a disease worse than chronogramizing.

1784. Having a Claim by Charter from Charles the First to a province
in America, called New Albion, or New Jersey, he visited that country
first, and afterwards most of the seaport towns to the north and east.
He visited Washington at Mount Vernon; but of all the acquaintances
he made he speaks as well of Ethan Allen as of anybody. He spent a
month with him at a house in New York.

This book is esteemed particularly for its means of teaching the Mexican
language, the Confession of the Indians being given in both Spanish
and Mexican. No doubt the little book is partly protected by the
■ language in which most of it is buried, but the low, filthy, indecent
stuff which converts are made to confess by direct questions of the
priests show not so much their own degradation as the perverted minds
of those who put such horrid nonsense into the heads of their sheep.
"Without exception this is the most indecent and foul book we ever
saw, and all under the cloak of piety. Lo the poor Indian! and his
beastly missionary who teaches counting by this process !

This map of Southern Virghiia and portion of North Carolina is tl
earliest and best we have of that country. It was prepared by Joh
White, who was sent out by Queen Elizabeth, in 1585, as the artist <
Raleigh's first Exploring Expedition under Sir Richard Grenville. I
Bry came to London in 1587, and Hakluyt induced him to repri)
Harlot's Virginia, and illustrate it with Governor White's map ai
drawings. Nothing can be more authentic. These are early impre
sions of De Bry's map taken from Harlot's Virginia of 1590.

John Parke Custis his stepson, a youth of 17, the son c

servation, and stitched in bright red morocco flexible covet
ly William Pratt. folio, 177
In every respect this is a most charming souvenir of the Great and Goc
Washington, whom it has been well said the Almighty left Childlei
that a Nation might call him Father. We know of no Autoprap
Letter of Washington comparable with this in almost every point thi
gives interest to such a document. It is printed in the Life
Writings of Washington, 12-Volume Edition, by Sparks, Vol. 2, pag«
361 — 364, but is so different from the original Letter itself that w(
tempted to give it here entire and verbatim. We do not believe that M
Sparks ever altered the letter so much as here appears, and are at a loi
how to account for the many changes which probably no editt
would venture to make. It is well kno-\^Ti that Washington retaine
the I'ough drafts or copies of almost all his letters, and that in v(
many instances in copying the letter to send off to his correspoi
dent he made many alterations and additions without making thedrj
to correspond with the letter sent. The printed letter may therefoi
have been copied correctly from the draft now in the State Departmei
at Washington, where his public and private papers are now preserve(
in about 260 folio volumes. This letter reads as follows : —
■Qgjjj. gjj. Mount Vernon 9th July 1771
From several concumng causes which have assembled upon the E^
of my departure for Williamsburg, I have both my Head & my banc
too full of business to allow me time to write more than a hasty, ur
digested answer to your letter of the 4tli — this however I shall attemp
In my last I informed you (as well as I can recollect the contents c
the Letter) that the Friends (I do not confine myself to the Relations)
Mr Custis, were divided in their opinions of the propriety of his Travelli
not on acct. of the advantages which might result from it, but on ace*- (
the Expence ; as he would set out with so heavy a charge, as you thougl
suflBcient to induce you to accompany him, which would at once anti
cipate half his Income ; for his J^state is of a kind that rather come
under the Denomination of a large, tiian a profitable one. He has
good deal of Land and a great many Slaves it is true, but the former :
Hibliotheca Historica 335
more to be esteem'd for the situation than the produce, being of an in-
different quality & much worn, so that kr<i;e Crops cannot be made
from them. These doubtful opinions, was sufficient cause I added, for
mc, to be circumspect in my Conduct, as I had another Tribunal to
acct. to, besides that in my own Breast for the part I was to act on this
occasion ; for you cannot but know, that every farthing which is ex-
pended on this young Gentleman must undergo the Inspection of the
Genl- Court, in their examination of my Guardianship Accfs. aud that
it would never answer for me, to permit him to launch into any uncom-
mon or expensive Tract (especially at a time when a heavy and
expensive Chancery Suit is just commenced agt. his Estate) without
first knowing whether such an expe- would be submitted to by those
who had a constitutional Right to put a Negative thereon.
These are the Reasons, why I said in my last, that my own Inclina-
tions were still as strong as ever for Mr Cnstis's pursuing his Travelling
Scheme, but that, it was necessary the Court should approve of the
expcnce (I did not want their opinion of the utility of Travelling) and
provided, that it should appear, when his judgment is a little more
niatur'd, that he is desirous of undertaking this Tour upon a Plan of
Improvement rather than a vague desire of gratifying an Idle curiosity,
or spending his money wantonly : for by the bye, if his Mother does
docs not speak her Sentiments, rather than his, be is abundantly luke-
warm in the Scheme ; and I cannot help giving it as my opinion, that,
his Education, from what I have understood of his Improvements (how-
ever advanced it may be for a youth of his age) is by no means ripe
enough for a Tour of Travelling ; not that I think his becoming a
mere Scholar is a desirable Education for a Gentleman, but I conceive
a knowledge of Books is the Basis upon which other knowledge is to
be built ; and that it is Men and things, more than Books,
he is to be acquainted with by Travelling. At present, however
well versed he may be in the principles of the Latin Language (which
is not to be at all wondered at, as he began the Study of it as soon as he
could speak) he is unacquainted with several of their Classical Authors,
which might be useful to him to read. He is ignorant of the Greek
(the advantage of understanding which, I do not pretend to judge) —
knows nothing of French, which is absolutely necessary to him as a
Traveller — little or nothing acquainted with Arithmetick — & totally
ignorant of the Mathematicks, than which, so much of it at least, as
relates to Surveying, nothing can be more essentially necessary to any
Person possessed of a large Landed Estate, the bounds of some part. or
other of which is always in controversy.
Now, whether he has time between this and next Spring to acquire a
sufficient knowledge of these, or so much of them as are requisite, I
leave you to judge of; and whether, a boy of 17 years old which
will be his age the last of November next can have any just
notions of the end, and design of Travelling ? I have already given
it as my opinion that it would be precipitating this Event, unless
he was to go immediately to the University for a Couple of years,
and in this case he could see nothing of America, which might be a
disadvantage to him, as it is to be expected that every Man who
Travels with a view of observing the Laws & Customs of other
Countries, should be able to give some descriptiou of the Situation
and Government of his own.
Upon the whole it is impossible for me at this time to give a more
decissive answer, however strongly Inclin'd I may be to put you upon
an absolute certainty in this affair, than I have done ; and should think
myself wanting in candour if I concealed any Circumstance from you,
which leads me to fear, there is a possibility if not a probability,
that the whole design may be totally defeated ; and therefore I add,
336 Bihliotheca Geographica
that before I erer thought myself at liberty to encourage this Plan,!
I judg'd it highly reasonable & necessary that the Mother should be!
consulted. I laid your first Letter & proposals before her, and desir'd
that, she would ponder well before she resolved ; as an unsteady be-
haviour might be a disadvantage to you. Her determination was,
that, if it appeared to be his Inclination to undertake this Tour, and;
if it shoud be adjudg'd for his Benefit, she would not oppose it,
whateyr. pangs it might give her to part with him — this declaration
she still adheres to, but in so feint a manner that I think, what
with her fears, and his indifference (if he really is so) it will soon be;
declar'd, that he has no Inclination to go, the consequence of which is
too obvious to be mentioned. I do not say that this will be the case.
I cannot speak positively — but as this result of my own reflection upon
the matter, I thought it but fair to communicate it to you.
Several causes I believe, have concurrd to make her view his depar-
ture, as the time approaches, with more reluctance than she expected.
The unhappy Situation of her Daughter has in some degree fixed
her Eyes upon him as her only hope ; add to this the doubts of her^
Friends &c. to what I have already said, I can only add that my
warmest wishes are to see him prosecute a Plan, at a proper period,
which I am sure must redound to his advantage ; and that nothing
shall be wanted on my part, to aid and assist him in it. In the Event
of his going I should think my self highly favourd, & he much bond, by
Genl Eden's Letters of Introduction, such, with others that might be
procured, cannot fail of having their advantages.
You will please to make my Compliments to Mr Dulany, & assure
him, that, I have not the least Vestage of a House at the Frederick
Springs, otherwise it should have been, if unengaged, much at his
Service. The two seasons that I spent at those Waters, I stood in-
debted to Mr Mercer for the use of his House.
I scarce know what answer to give to the Papers you transmitted to
me as an Exr- of the jWill of Col Thos Colvill deed the affairs of
that Estate are unhappily involved with Mr- Semple, to whom Colo
Colvill in his life time sold a Tract of Land in Mary land call'd Merry-
land, for (I think) £"2600 Ster?> and from whom we can neither get the'
money nor Land — till this matter is settled the Exrs. are unable to pay i
of the Legacies in this Country, consequently can answer no demands \
of the Residuary Legatees in England, who only come in for the Sur-
plusage if any there be. I believe there will be more than suflicient
to discharge the Debts & Legacies here, but the overplus will be
trifling. I remain,

8° The Federal Fress, Fhiladelphia, 1795
These are the seven spurious letters said to have been found in the port-
manteau of Washington's negro man Billy. Two volumes of Wash-
ington's Official Letters had this year been published in Boston. Some
enemy of the General caused these to be reprinted as a supplement to
that edition, knowing them to be forgeries, but giving no such intima-
tion. In 1797, Washington was forced to publicly proclaim th
forgeries. See No 2912 of this Catalogue.

to have been found in Billy's portmanteau, pronouncing them to be base
forgeries. This ought to have ended the matter, but it did not, for to

Only a little more than twenty years ago, in 1846 and 1847, when Mr.
Whitney was agitating the people and lobying the Congress for a rail
road from Lake Michigan to the Pacific, to San Francisco or to Puget
Sound, he was ridiculed and derided by the knowing ones as projecting
a ruinous and impracticable scheme. Like the scheme of Columbus,
everybody abused it till success crowned his eiForts, and then every-
body knew it all before, and declared the rewards disproportionate to
the success. Whitney's plans have long since been carried out almost
to the letter, and yet his name is not recorded where it should and in
time will be. This book, with its two most interesting maps, in this
original edition, will in future time more and more be sought after by
collectors as the small beginning of a gigantic well digested project.

One of the most important and authoritative of all the early books on

wrote, and had the abilities to write well whereof he knew. Having
demolished Gorton and his books, he gives on pages 83-103, a most in-
teresting account of the Church of the Pilgrims at Leydon, and their
migration to New England. Much is recorded here which appears no-
where else, and must ever give to this book a distinguished preemmence
among books on New England.

SCABCE. 8° Edes Sf Gill, Boston, 1769
" Transits of Venus are as rare as they are important. They occur in
couples in June and December, about eight years apart, and then not
again for several generations. Kepler was aware of the phenomenon,
and as early as 1604annoimced that one would take place in 1761, but
yoimg Horrocks, of Liverpool, with better tables, and additional data,
calculated that there would be a transit on the fourth of Dec. 1639. He
let a friend into his secret, and they two on the day named, for Venus
was punctual, were the first ever known to observe it But of all
the transists past and to come, the climax would be that of the 3d of
June, 1769, when Venus passed across the Sun's disk very near the
centre." In 1769 "was a conjunction of planets coincident with the
birth of twelve imperial men of nature, more renowned than the
twelve Cajsars. No other single year probably, before or since, ever
produced such men as Napoleon, Wellington, Soult and Ney, Brunei,
Meheraet Aly, Turner ; Sir Thomas Lawrence, Chateaubriand, and
Castlereagh; Cuvier, and Humboldt, men who upturned the world, and
set it right again ; who revolutionized science, art, politics, states, and
the affaii'S of mankind." — American Journal of Science, 1870. Another
transit of Venus will take place in 1874. Let young folks take notice
of the date. If it produce only half a dozen Csssars like the last it
will be a godsend to this rapid age. If the strongminded will turn their
enlivening attention to transits instead of voti7ig, they may bring about
improved results. The above lecture contains much valuable informa-
tion as to the habits and resorts of the planet Venus.

This is perhaps the pertest, keenest, wittiest, stingingest little literary
production that New-England ever produced, and, we venture further
to say, that no American document of the kind, the Declaration of In-
dependence alone excepted, (and we guess that Jefferson had studied
Wise,) so completely covers its field and engrapes its foe. The occa- 1
sion was a grand one. Certain New England Ministers, looking out
with eyes too single upon their own line of business, met in Boston as '
self-elected Delegates in an Association, on the 5th of November, 1705, •
and issued sundry proposals for amending the New England Platform,
so as to give more efficiency to the Sacred Order of Men, as well as to i
improve the supplies of loaves and fishes, but all put into plausible and
proper ecclesiastical phrase. These Proposals were printed and well j
circulated throughout the country, and were well nigh swallowed whole
by the hungry Fishers-of-men. The poor fish were not consulted. But
the Wise old man of Ipswich kept the watch-tower and fell not asleep,
so that the Camp was not surprised. Taking for his motto, Titus I. 13,
Wlierefore rebuke them sharply, that they may he sound in the faith,
in 1710 he came out with the first edition of this little book. With a
mind full of wise saws and modem instances, aided by logic, grammar,
and rhetoric, he at once demolished all these new fangled Boston no-
tions of changes and reforms. This was the first attempt at nullifica-
tion of the Old Platform of 1649, but not more surely did old Hickory
strangle the S. C. Serpent of the same kind in 1832, than did our author
with his satyre, wit, and wisdom, choke this 5th of Nov. Nullification
of 1705. The book is very little known, but must ever stand out as a
beacon of warning to aspiring ministers. It closes on the 116th page
thus : " Yet wishing they [the Ministers] may never more harbour
such thoughts, or promote such a design as is projected by these Pro-
posals ; but hereafter when Temptation makes its signal, let them
rather trespass upon Gravity, by following the hounds in the forest, or
by a more submissive and moderate way, (to baflle the Enemy, and
wear off the impression,) let them write on the ground, or with the
famous Domitian, spend their time in catching flies, rather than con-
trive how to subvert or alter the Government in the Churches, by such
despotic measures, especially in an Empire and province so cliarmed
with such inchanting Liberties as ours are. For otherwise they may
chance to bring, if not an Old, a New House upon their heads, accord-
ing to that saying, JDebile fundamentum, fallit opus.
A work if done, and no Foundation laid,
Falls on the work-men's heads ; thus they are paid."

This ancient world of Ptolemy, we believe among the very earliest maps
engraved on copper, extends from the Fortunate Islands in the west to
a little east of the Sinus Magnus in India beyond the Ganges, in all
180° or one-half the globe. In this there are two great inland Seas,
the Mediterranean extending from West to East about 65°, and the
Indian Sea extending from Zanzibar to the China Sea about 95° ;
Africa about 16° South lat. extends round to the East so as to enclose
the Indian Sea and join on to China, thus making the fabled southern
continent of Sofala or Australia. These three great exaggerations are
the parents of a thousand errors in mediiEval geographical calculations.
When modern geographers came to pucker up the Mediterranean to
about 42°, and take off 20° from the Indian Sea in width, and open
it towards the South from a Sea to an Ocean, they found out how very
inexact Ptolemy and all the ancient geographers had been in their longi-
tude, and how much of the globe was to be accounted for.

E-ECENTiBFS confecta Observationibus, Per Johannem
Ruysch, fine copy, mounted on thin muslin, excessively
SCARCE, 21 hy 10 inches, engraved on copper. Bomae, 1508
The first map of the world projected and printed after the old Ptole-
maean system had been upset by Columbus and his contemporary navi-
gators from Portugal Spain and England. It is a marvellous produc-
tion considering the date, and the authorities then made public. The
Letters of Columbus and Vespucci, and the accounts of the Portuguese
Voyages round Africa to India, are all laid down. Diego Columb
was in Rome while this map was on the anvil and his assistance is ac-
knowledged by Beneventanus. He must have supplied to Ruysch a copy
of the Discoverer's map drawn out by his chart maker, Juan de la Cosa.
Spaiiola, Cuba, and the northern coast of South America are almost
precisely after the lines laid down by La Cosa. The eastern coast of |
Brazil, below R. de Cananor, is projected probably from Vespucci's
Letter describing his third voyage. We know little of Ruysch except
that he was a German and had sailed from Bristol probably with the
Cabots to New Foundland. Hence the discoveries of the Cabots are in
the right place. Altogether this is a map of the highest value.

The first is a copy of the very rare and exquisite copper-plate map by F. G.
pubhshed with Hakluyt's edition of Peter Martyr's eight Decaedes, Paris,
1687, the first map we believe on which the name of Virginia appears, and
on which the discoveries of Drake in 1580, in California, are laid down
under the name of Nova Albion, up to about 55°. The other is from
Honter's Globe, published at Tubingen in 1542, vihere America appears
as an island, and Farias is the Cuba of Columbus exaggerated by a
series of blunders of the St Die fraternity, Schoner, Miinster and others.

3062 World. Typus Orbis Universalis, [a woodcut map of
the World from Miinster's Geography], with letterpress on

Though issued probably as late as 1560, this map by the great geogi-a-
pher is of little value. It is compiled by reading the usual authorities
down to about 1525, as he lays down the Straits of Magellan, and
Tiraixtitan after Cortes, but most of the authorities are misread or dis-
regarded. Japan and Mexico are only about 6 degrees apart, and
Catai or North-eastern Asia extends to very nearly the longitude of
Cuba.
3068 WoELB, Typus Orbis Terrarum, Description Univer-

This is Thevet'smap of 1575, taken chiefly from Ortelius of 1569 or 1570,
but engraved on wood. It is a vast improvement on the previous maps
of Miinster and the other German geographers, especially as to North and
South America, but the vast Southern Continent shews that the author
had not yet become emancipated from the dreams of the classic authors.
Geographers had not yet begun to elemenate the real little continent of
Australia from the big false Terra Australis incognita.

copy, on delicate subjects.
4° Dona Maria Fernandez de Jauregni, Mexico, 1808
A funny book, very, and one well fortified with texts and authorities.
This curious Pastoral Charge exhibits to us the queer spectacle of a
presumably jolly old Mexican Archbishop running full tilt at the pre-
prevailing fashions of the fairer portions of his flock. It seems that
the Mexican ladies had adopted the new French foshion of allowing the
wicked world to see too much of thcvi by displaying their arms and
charms without any covering save that of innocence, whereupon the
wrath of the worthy Father is kindled. lie tells them that such an
exposure inflames ordinary men, and even the most holy and the most
Bihliotheca Ilistorica 359
mortified, who are under the hard necessity of continually guarding
against the torch which threatens to set their very souls on fire. One
would scarcely have imagined that holy men were so inflammable, but
he downrightly asserts that the sight of Beauty thus unadorned is like
setting flame to tow. " La excitacion, les movimientos de concupis-
cencia lo que sucede generalmente d todos los que ven d las Senoras de
este modo, etc." Whether telling the Mexican Senoras or Senoritas
that the new fashion rendered them not merely attractive but irresistible
Avas the best way to persuade them to abandon it, seems doubtful and
not at all in accordance with a layman's experience of female nature.
Of course a Pastoral Charge would not be complete unless it cursed
somebody, so towards the conclusion the French get it hot and heavy.
The Archbishop calls them " the impious French, abominable abortion
of the abyss," and says that it is they, their wives and daughters, their
female relations and concubines, who to destroy our faith have intro-
duced and propagated in Mexico the pestiferous custom, the abomin-
able and poisonous fashion, that the Seiioras should go about with naked
arms and bosoms, and the men with an article of dress which excites
and provokes the women. " These are they who continually increasing
in pride and in malignant inventions, in likeness of the infernal spirits,
have introduced with devilish cunning flesli-coloured stockings and
diabolical lace" and who are insensibly and gradually " despoiling us
of all our temporal goods and our rights to those of Eternity."

No book has, perhaps, puzzled geographers more than this, especially
the map, and few books have had more able editors and commentators
upon it, yet we are no nearer a definite settlement as to its genuineness
than they were two centuries ago. The editor claims that the map was
sent by Nicolo Zeno in 1405 to Venice. It Avas not published till 1558,
and the original has never been produced. It seems to us, after re-
peated and prolonged studies, that if the map be genuine the most of
its geography is false, while a part of it is remarkably accurate. If it
be spurious, that is got up at the time of its publication just after the -
death of Ramusio, it is cleverly done, but the text is so indefinite that
the learned may argue about it till doomsday night, and then require
candles to see their points.

From the constant use made of this excellent work by Irving, Prescott,
Ticknor and Bancroft, it is manifest that it should hold high rank
among books relating to America, especially as a great deal we know
of Columbus and his sons Diego and Ferdinand, his brother Bartholomew,
Las Casas, Cortes, and many others, is found only in this volume. It is
almost a necessity that every American historian should have access- to
it. It seldom occurs for sale.
