Columbus and of his Discovery of the West Indies, written by his
Son, Don Ferdinand Columbus, English Translation, folio, boards
(Churchill, Vol. II., 557-688). 1744 4s
According to \Vasbington Irving this "Life" of Columbus was composed in
Spanish, translated into Italian, and from that into other languages ; but (so far as
he knew) it existed only in Spanish a retranslation from the Italian. If this is tru
it tends to support a recent argument that the work is a forgery, although Irving
thought it "an invaluable document, entitled to great faith," and the "corner stone
of the history of the American Continent." H. H. Bancroft also inclines to a belief
in its authenticity.

The second edition was revised and edited, with notes, by Barcia.
The Spanish historiographer had access to the Government archives, and in

companions completely for the first time, giving account of the newly discovered
peoples at first hand, and where possible from their own relations. His narrative
takes in systematically all the known Spanish discoveries Westward across the
Pacific to the Solomon Islands, the Philippines, and the Moluccan Groups. The
' Descr. Indias Occidentales ' was first issued in 1601. See also French translation,

(3) South America. France and Spain divide nearly the whole between them. The
former apparently possesses what is now British N. America and Newfoundland
and half the basin of the Mississippi. NVith the exception of some insignificant
settlements named Xew England, Virginia, New Netherlands, New Sweden, Spain
takes all the rest -Florida (including the other half of the Mississippi basin), West
India Islands, New Spain, New Mexico, California (shown as an island), and the
whole of Central and South America. The " Land of Jesso " (Japan) stretches east-
ward across the Pacific, separated from America by a strait in 45 N. In Central
Africa great lakes are shown, as in other maps of ihat period, south of the equator.
All the maps in both volumes are in fine condition, and the binding is solid and
sound a very desirable copy to possess.

the ancient philosophers had to say about another world ; under Columbus, references
to his discoveries ; under Nieuw-Andalusien, Nieuw-Franckrijck, Nieuw-Gallicien,

241 WALDSEEMULLER. The Oldest Map with the Name America (Die
Alteste Karte mit dem Namen Amerika), of the Year 1507, and the
Carta Marina of the Year 1516, edited by Prof. Jos. Fischer, S.J.,
and Prof. Fr. R. v. Wieser, with 26 double-page plates and 10 textual
illustrations', royal folio, half-morocco. Innsbruck, 1903 3 3s
This handsome volume, which ranges with those of Nordenskiold, contains
reproductions of two long-lost maps by Martin Waldseemiiller known as Ilaco-
milus or Hylacomylus, the first having been issued in connexion with the famous
Coxmographiw Introductio, printed at St. Die in 1507, the work which, attributing
the discovery of the New World to Americus Vespucci, suggested that it should be
named after him. The map bears the name 'AMERICA,' and was copied by many
other map makers, and to this circumstance is due the fact that it has been so
named ever since.
The second map ' Carta Marina ' (the oldest known printed sea-chart) does not
bear the name ' America,' an indication that Hylacomylus had discovered his error,
for there is no evidence that Vespucci himself ever put forth any claim to dis-
coveries made by his friend Columbus. The original of this newly discovered
' ( 'nrta Marina ' bears manuscript corrections for a new edition, but thege were never
used ; the second edition was produced by Frisius about 1526, three years after the
death of Hylacomylus. The text of the volume is in German, with parallel English
translation'by Rev. G. Pickel of Buffalo. There are two reduced key maps (double
page) and the facsimiles of the originals are each reproduced in 12 sheets.

years among Kith century records, inappemondes. and globes, offers a solution of
some of the enigmas of Vespucci's and other early voyages and of the misnomer
"America," a name which, it has recently been argued, belongs not to AMERICA, but
to a country east of Africa, that is, AUSTRALIA.

To pniiM- this work to-day is superfluous. Wilson's highest aspiration, to "con-
tribute to the innocent amusement and virtuous instruction of his fellow beings,"
has been more than realized during three generations his work is still a delight to
read as well as to look at, by all lov.-rs of this branch of natural history.
It is noticeable that he was assisted in the engraving in the early part of his
work by Alex. Lawson, who instructed him in drawing, colouring, and etching ; that
Charles Leslie assisted in colouring some of the plates ; and that to Prince Bona-
parte's section Audubon contributes some extremely interesting notes and draw-
ings of the male and female *' crow." His work differs somewhat from that of
Prince Bonaparte, in the fact that it was essentially a national production engraving,
type, and paper, and nearly all the colours used being of American manufai -tun-.

Sir Wm. Vaughan acquired a grant in Newfoundland in 1616, sent out some
settlers in 1617-18 and went there himself in 1622, sending home his ' Golden
Fleece,' an allegory in praise of the Colony. He returned about 1629 to advocate
its claims, and published his 'Newlander's Cure' in which he gives some of his
experiences. He hoped that London and Bristol merchants would settle there
"some ironworks, glass houses and for making of salt," also that Lord Falkland,
Sir Henry Salisbury and other gentlemen of North Wales would proceed to do
somewhat in that country. The work, which is inscribed to his brother John, Earl
of Carbery, is in two parts, the first in prose, the second in verse.

A remarkable journal of incidents and occurrences in six voyages to and from
Labrador and during a residence of nearly sixteen years (1770-86) on those shores
with hunting, trapping, and fishing experiences, particulars of the country and its
inhabitants, some of whom were brought to England and exhibited in London.
The author made great gains but his losses were heavy, by shipwreck and by
depredations on one occasion (in 1778) his stores, goods, and men were carried
off to Boston by an American privateer. The third volume contains the author's
thermometricaf observations for several yean, and his poem ' LABRADOR : A
POETICAL EPISTLE,' perhaps the first effusion of the sort from that country.

Letter to the Duke of Shrewsbury about the state of the North Parts
of America.' 1 9 leaves, folio," calf. Circa 1695 6 6s
Mr. John Nelson, the writer of this letter not being fortunate enough to get *an
interview with the Duke of Shrewsbury William the Third's principal Minister,
here places his knowledge on the state of affairs in the North Parts of America on
paper suggesting what should be done to secure the present British jwssessions
against the French, to conciliate the Indians, and to encourage the fur trade.
Having been conversant with the French in Nova Scotia, Acadia and Canada for
twenty- six years he was, he says, e<-nt in 1091 to Port Royal (Louisbourff, to assist
Commandant Col. Tyng, but was captured ;it sea, taken to France, and imprisoned
for nearly five years in the Bast i If. H- had conversations with important personages
there, and was acquainted with their views and opinions. He refers to their treat-
ment of the Indians, some of whom had been brought to France and entertained
there ; six of them were being taken back by Mr. D'iberville "a very enterprising
person." He thought some of the Indians should be brought to England
and shown some of the sights of London, &c.

A combined sea and land attack was advised the laud expedition to march
from Albany, taking Fort Chambly and Montreal on its way to Quebec, this force
to consist of J,. 500 -English and 500 Indians. In sight of Quebec it was anticipated
that the fleet would have at least another 2.000 men. The writer describes the
difficulties of the route, the obstacles in the shape of French soldiers and settlers to
be met. He computes the whole number of the Canadians as not above 2,000 families.
Divers descents were to be made " whereby to ruine the country, by burning houses,
destroying cattle and spoiling harvests," which was all the inhabitants had to subsist
on, in the absence of supplies from France. The brute ! The document is unsigned.

Admiral Hovenden Walker commanded the unfortunate expedition which
sailed from Boston in 1710 for Quebec, intending the conquest of Canada. Half
his vessels were wrecked in the St. Lawrence, and, returning to England, his ship
the " Edgar " blew up at Spithead with the loss of most of his crew and papers.
His case was much misrepresented, and not caring to contest it, having no
powerful friends, he went out to Carolina, but afterwards returned and published
this vindication. He died of a broken heart in Dublin, Jan., 1726.

TO COLLECTORS AND LIBRARIANS.
I HE present Catalogue contains titles of Books and Publica-
tions relating to the United States of North America.
So large a Collection might for some reasons have been
catalogued in alphabetical order under Authors, but as
many are anonymous, and the items cover and illustrate
three centuries of Colonial and National History, they have been grouped
under headings representing distinct Periods a natural and, it is-
hoped, a more convenient arrangement.
To enumerate important items would be to make another Catalogue,
Attention may, however, be directed to a Latin ' De Bry ' (p. 143) ; a
Spanish Diplomat's Collection of Papers relating to Georgia (p. 145) :
B. F. Stevens's reproduction of a Map of New York, 1782 (p. 191);
and Facsimiles of Manuscripts belonging to the .Revolutionary Period
(p. 199) ; to a valuable manuscript account of Carleton's and Burgoyne's-
Two Campaigns (p. 173); set *of Faden's War Maps (p. 180); fine
copies of Dr. Smith's 'New York' (p. 164); John Smith's ' Virginia r
(p. 165) and that of Stith (p. 166); Lawson's 'Carolina' (p. 152) and
Lechford's ' New England ' (p. 153); Joutel's ' La Salle' (p. 163) and
Hennepin (p. 149); Mather's 'Indian War' (p. 155); to sets of the
Philadelphia 'Portfolio' (p. 213), Almon's' 'Remembrancer' (p. 171),
the ' Annual Register ' (p. 171), and British ' Army Lists ' (p. 172), as-
well as to the numerous rare pamphlets on American Taxation and the
Revolutionary War scattered through the Catalogue.
The First Part of the Catalogue contained the Sections on the
AMERICAN CONTINENT GENERALLY ; VOYAGES OF DISCOVERY ; NATURAL.
HISTORY ; ANTIQUITIES ; NATIVE RACES AND THEIR LANGUAGES. The
Second Part was devoted to the DOMINION OF CANADA AND NEW-
FOUNDLAND; ALASKA AND YUKON TERRITORY.

1411 [GEORGIA AND FLORIDA] A Collection of Thirty-four Official
Papers and MS. Copies of Documents (as under noted), with
POPPLE'S Map of North America, 1 vol. folio, vellum. 1736-39 40
This collection, evidently made by a Spanish diplomatist, contains various papers
relating to the rupture between Greut Britain and Spain, which arose out of illicit
traffic and abuse of trade privileges permitted to vessels of the former in the West
Indies, as well as from the alleged infringement of boundary engagements by the
establishment of the new colony of Georgia between Carolina and the Spanish
territory of Florida. On the part of Spain there was a natural desire of conciliation,
but England demanded 200,000 for damages, against which Spain had an old claim
of 60,000. The English ministers, desiring prompt payment instead of promised
assignments upon future American revenues, agreed to accept 95,000.

An appeal by a society of noblemen and gentlemen for funds on behalf of over
100,000 destitute and ignorant Germans who bad transported themselves from the
Rhine countries, Wirteinberg, Saxony, &c. "above thirty thousand of them within
the last ten years, and in one single year, 1760, more than ten thousand "and had
dispersed themselves all over the Province of Pensilvania in Philadelphia, German-
town, Yorktown, Readingtown, Easttown, and Newtown ; also in Fredericktown in
Maryland and Fredericktown in Virginia. The Dutch States-General, King
George II., the Princess Royal, and the Church of Scotland had contributed money
for ministers, schoolmasters, and books. Subscriptions received at Hankey's and
Hoare's banks.
The Appendix states that Governor Hamilton, Chief -Justice Allen, Richard
Peters (Sec.), Conrad Weyser (Interpreter). Benjamin Franklin, and the Rev. Prof.
Wm. Smith had been chosen trustees ; several schools were already open, and the

position shown by many of these German emigrants and the warm thanks
expressed one may reasonably infer what is the most certain way to unite the
whole body of them amongst themselves, and in their attachment to the British
constitution and nation."

Transactions and Negotiations in Scotland, England, the Courts of
Vienna, Hanover, and other Foreign Parts, portrait and map,
3 vols. 8vo, calf. 1726 1 16s
John Ker was a spy, and is credited with being in the pay of the Jacobites as
well as of the Government. The work does not bear the publisher's name, but was
issued by Curll, who met with Ker in the King's Bench prison, where the latter,
threatened with a prosecution for libel after the issue of the first volume, shortly
after died, leaving the other two volumes in MS., which were soon after also issued
by Curll, who was at once, as an offender in publishing other "immoral" books,
taken into custody, tried, and pilloried as he gave out, for " vindicating the
memory of Queen Anne." (See Notes and Queries, 2nd Series, vol. iii.)
To the first volume (pp. 149-180) is added an Account of the Austrian (Ostend)
E.I. Company ; the second volume is largely devoted to a discussion of French policy
in America, particularly in the Settlement of Louisiana on the Mississippi (with
map), in the Newfoundland Fishery, Nova Scotia, St. Domingo, &c., with comments
of laws, schemes, and character.
Bound up with the third volume is a work (seemingly unknown to Watt,
Lowndes, and Allibone) entitled Remarks on the Government of several parts of
Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Lubeck, and Hanseatick Towns, but more particularly
of the United Provinces, &c., by WILLIAM KER, Esq., late Consul for the English
Nation at Amsterdam. Printed in Amsterdam 1688. Reprinted at London, 1727,
8vo (160 pp.). Then follows the Pleas against Curll at Westminster for libel in
publishing the first volume (16 pp.).

1446 LA HONTAN'S New Voyage to North America. Reprint of the

Index, by Dr. R. G. Thwaites, facsimiles of original title-pages,
maps, and plates, and a Bibliography, 2 vols. 8vo, cloth, gilt tops.
Chicago, 1905 1 10s
Dr. Thwaites thinks that La Hontan's story of his discoveBy of the " Eiyer Long "
(a N.W. tributary of the "Missisipi") is a myth, and intended as a satire on the
pretensions of other travellers. His map shows that he travelled by the portage of
" Chegakqu " to Fort Crevecoeur, on the " Riviere des Ilinois," and sailed on the
"Missisipi" as far as the " R. des Missouris," perhaps on the "R. de Ousconsink."
The rest of his interesting, and in parts amusing, narrative of journeys in "New
France " during the last twenty years of the seventeenth century is no doubt fully
authoritative.

The author lived in Boston from 1638 to 1641, but returned to Old England
dissatisfied, for which eleven reasons were given. " When I was to come away, one
of the chiefest in the country wished me to deliver him a note of what things I
misliked in the country." The first reason was that too much time was spent in
public ordinances on the Sabbath day.
