relates almost as much, to Amex'ica as to the East Indies. Much
of the information contained in the valuable maps was not gener-
ally diffused for above a century afterwards; witness the admir-
able map of the world in the account of Spilbergen's Voyage
in this volume. America is most completely and accurately
drawn there in its true shape; California is correctly represented
as a peninsula, although in most atlases and geographical books,
even down to the middle of last century, it was drawn and de-
scribed as an island. Hudson's Bay is called " The bay where
Hudson did winter," and the discoveries of the English navigator
are all set forth.

to promote the election of William Henry Harrison to the Presi-

accomplished its object. Few complete sets, however, survived,

A good copy of the second edition, considered the best, and

portraits of the most prominent men.
Speaking of the histories of America, Mr. Ticknor says : " Of
tliis class, the first in importance and the most comprehensive in
character is the General History of the Indies, by Antonio de
Herrera. It embraces the period from the first discovery of
America to the year 1554 ; and as Herrera was a practised writer,
and, from his official position as historiographer to the Indies, had
access to every source of information known in his time, his work,
which was printed in 1601, is of very great value." — Hi.itory of
Spanish Literature.

D'Anville and others. Some of the scientific papers in
this collection treat of the hydrography of the Atlantic

4to, half old calf.
An unpublished original Manuscript of considerable historical
value, "written on 96 leaves in a contemporary hand, and descrip-
tive of the military and naval achievements of Don Bernardo de
Galvez, the distinguished Governor of Louisiana in 1777-83, and
the Commander of various successful expeditions which resulted
in the captm-e of Baton Rouge, Mobile and Pensacola from the
English. In the form of a Memoir, emanating, no doubt, from
himself, although perhaps retouched and completed by another
hand, this Manuscript gives an interesting account of his eventful
career as the Commander-in-chief of the Spanish forces in
America, from February, 1781, to his resignation in June, 1783.
r;V 736 MANUSCRIPT. — Extraits de plusieurs voiages fails vers

Ramusio. Large 4to, half calf.
An original manuscript translation into French, apparently
prepared for the press, from the Collection of Voyages, which
was edited by Ramusio, and published in three vols. , 4to, by the
Giunti, in 1554-59. The manuscript which comprises forty-three
distinct and extended contracts, appears to have been executed in
the early part of the reign of Louis XIV. , as may be inferred from
the date of the paper (1648), and from the style of writing and
other orthographic peculiarities characteristic of the period. It
occupies 550 large quarto pages, and is written throughout in a
minute but easily legible hand. The various interpolations, cor-
i-ectious and marginal notes indicate very plainly that the transla-
tion is of an authentic or original character, and not a mere copy.
This manuscript is probably the one referred to in a work en-
THE BRE VOOR T LIBRAR Y. loi
titled, "Memorial de Chronologie d'Histoire, deBiographie.'' etc.,
Paris, 1830, in which it is stated on p. 171, that "une traduction
franpaise de Ramusio f aite 5, la fin du XVIIe sificle, existe a, Paris
dans une bibliothfique particulifire."
Among the noteworthy items in this manuscript volume are the
Extracts from the Decades of Peter Martyr (pp. 431-550), the
Voyages and Narratives of Cabot, Gonzales Pizarro, Verrazano,
Magellan, etc. ; also the First Relation of Jacques Cartier, which
is of peculiar interest, owing to the well-linown fact that the
original French text of 1534 was lost at the period.

This manuscript, whichis written throghout in the autograph
of the author, occupies 143 leaves, partly filled with notes of an
historical and miscellaneous character, jotted down, it stems, at
various times, and probably intended to be used as a basis for a
more extended work on the subject.
To this manuscript is added a small note bo'jk. in the hand-

states " that the object of both artist and author, in securing the

to produce a work which, so far at least as appearances may be
taken into account, will be creditable to the United States, and in
this they trust they have succeeded. They have certainly bestowed
much time and money on the undertaking, and can boldly assert
that no country can claim that its battles have been illustrated in a
richer, more faithful, or more costly style of lilhogi'aphy."

the discovery of the Strait of St. Vincent (Le Maire), by Schouten
and La Maire in 1617.
The excessively rare original edition, but lacking the map,
which was inserted in a few copies only, owing to the policy of
the Spanish Government. Crofts, as stated by Quaritch, believed
his own copy to be the only perfect one in England, even that in
the British Museum being deficient of the map. A foreign cata-
logue prices a perfect copy at 600 francs and another copy with
map supplied from the edition of 1769 at 270 francs.

' ' This volume is not only famous for its woodcuts, but is an
authority sometimes quoted in support of the claim to the discov-
ery of America by Martin Behaim, before Columbus. The pas-
sage referred to occurs on tlie reverse of fol. 290, where the writer
of the chronicle, after spealiing of the discoveries made through
the efforts of Prince Henry, of Portugal, the Navigator, proceeds
to relate that subsequently, in the year 1483, .Joao II., of that coun-
try, a liing of most exalted mind, supplied some galleys with pro-
visions and sent them beyond the Pillars of Hercules to make
explorations in the South towards Ethopia, under the command
of Jacob Can (Diogo Cam) and Martin Behaim, of Nuremberg, in
Upper Germany; a Bohemian of good family, who was both well
acquainted with the situation of the earth and used to the sea. and
who understood thoroughly the longitudes and latitudes of Ptol-
emy in the West, from experience and long navigating; and that
these two sailed into the Southern Ocean under favorable auspices,
coasting not far from the shore, and crossed the equator into
another world, where, when they stood with their faces towards
the East they projected a shadow on their right hand towards the
South. Thus by their industry they opened another world before
that unknown to us, and for many years afterwards unoccupied by
anyjpersons, except some Genoese, who did so, however, to no
purpose. Having in this way finished their voyage they returned
to Portugal in the 36th month, many of the crew having died in
consequence of the extreme heat of the climate. In proof of their
discovery, they brought home with them pepper, grains of Para-
dise, and many others which it would be tedious to enumerate." —

This work is said to have been mistaken by an English critic for
a narrative of actual adventure. It is a fictions book of memoirs
in which the author ventilates his opinions on various topics of
American society, paints the horrors of the slave trade and the
now almost incomprehensible grievances which the European and
American powers for a long time endured from the assumption of
the Algerines. . . . The book is written in short chapters
with spirit and neatness of style. There is quite enough ingenuity
of thought, coupled with the descriptions of the manners of the
limes, to redeem the work from the neglect into which it has
fallen. Though printed in at least a second American edition, it
is now exceedingly scarce." — Puyckinck,

Wintevbotham was the pastor of a Baptist Church at Devonport,
who, in the year 1792, having preached two sermons, in favor of
religious and civil liberty, was indicted for sedition, tried and con-
demned to imprisonment for four years in Newgate. During his
confinement he wrote this book. The prosecution of Winter-

botbam was a great error. From the cell of his prison he roused
a far wider spirit of political freedom than he ever could have done
at large, and his work sent more emigrants across the Atlantic than

dal tempo di Ussuncassano in qua, libri due. Et dello
scopriraento dell' Isole Frislanda, Eslanda, Engrouelanda,
Estotitlanda, et Icaria, fatto sotto il Polo Artico, da due
fratelli Zeni, libro uno. Small 8yo, red levant morocco,
inside dentelle borders, gilt edges, by Thompson.
Venetia: Fr. Jlarcolitii, 1558
The original woodcut map is in this copy replaced by a copy of
the one made for Zurla's work on the brothers Zeni in 1808. A
copy with the original is priced 200 francs by Tross.
Among the several claims set forth for the discovery of America
prior to Columbus, are those of the brothers Zeni, who, in the
year 1380, claim to have visited sundry islands which they call
Frislaud, Esland (Iceland), Engroveland (Greenland), and Icaria.
Tlie account of these voyages first appeared at Venice in 1558, and
was incorporated and published in the second volume of the well-
known collection of Ramusio, " Nanagationi et Fia^fi'J," published
in 1574, as supplementary, or seventeen years after the death of
that reliable geographer.

The last map in the volume, relating to the northern regions,
contains Greenland and Terra Bacallaos. In the work is a divis-
ion relating to the northern regions under the general name of
ScoNDiA, in which are separate chapters on Greenland, Iceland,
Lapland, &c. In his preface to Scondia (p. 85) the author says :
" As I intend to publish a book concerning the countries in the
north parts of the world, of which the ancients knew nothing;
and to show that those regions have an afiluence of such things as
pronounce a happy country, it will be necessary for me to show
what authorities I can produce with regard to this work. "
" Ziegler lived in Rome where, from two bishops wlio had lived
in Greenland and Iceland, he obtained the facts given in his work."

Antwerp: Plantin, 1612
Abraham Ortelius was born at Antwerp in 1527. He travelled
on the Continent and in Great Britain, and in 1570 published his
famous Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, being a description of the
globe, or universal geography. This gained for him the reputa-
tion of being the first geographer of his age, and he was soon
after appointed geographer to Philip II. of Spain. Ortelius was
acquinted with most of the learned men of his time, and was par-
ticularly intimate with Justus Lipsius, who wrote his epitaph. He
died in 1593.
