SOURCES OF Information REGAKDING John and Sebastian Cabot^ " Although the fact of their voyaa^es had been reported by jealous and watcliful liegers at the English Court to tlie principal cabinets of the Continent .... the historical literature relating to the dis- covery of America, as preserved in print, is, for nearly twenty years after the events took place, silent as to the enterprises and even the names of the Cabols. Scarcely anything has come down to us directly from these navigators themselves, and for what we know we have hitherto b'^en chietiy indebted to the uncertaifj reports, in S^ foreign languages, of conversations originally held with Sebastiin Qabot, many years afterwards, and sometimes related at second Sid third hand .... For mor*^ than two hundred years succeeding ese events there v.as no mention m.iue of more vh.ni one voy- age." — Deane, in Winsor, America, lU. 7-S. !

" It is difficult to believe that admmistrdtive incompelency could have characterized very greatly a riian who was sought, both by England and Spain, to take the management of their maritime at- fairs That his mind was fertile in resources, and that he exer- cised in matters ot detail a superior grasp, seems evident. As a student of phenomena, he was, it not the first, a leading agent to suspect that by observing the variation ot the needle a law could be adduced for determining longitude; ;ind on his deathbed he talked of it as a secret of tlie seaman's art. He naturally carried his expectations too far, since first glimpses of nature's laws are likely to incline the imaginative mind to excess of belief; but the continued publication today of magnetic charts, and the occasional use of them in iiiivigation, shows that Cabot's insigiitwas clear." — Winsor, Controversies, \\.

On 25 December, 1557 William VVorthington alor.e drew tlie pension wliich had been granted to him and to Sebastian Cabot jointly, on the preceding 29 May. As Cabot had drawn his share of the payment on 29 September, the inference is that he either re- linquished this pension, or that he had died in the interval. Tins is the last recorded encry of his name, during his lifetime. Printed in Harrissc, Cabot, 466. See note to Bokrouuh. Portrait. Effigies . Seba&tiani Caboti Anglt . Filii . Johanis Caboti .

This legend was on a portrait, which was doubtless the same painting as the one that Purclias, Pilgrimes, iv. iSia, reported havinn seen in •' the privie gallerie at VVIiite Hall." The picture passed into private hands, pr)ssibly during the early common- wealth period, and was found in a Scottish gentleman's hou>e early in the nresent century, by Mr. Charles Joseph Halford ot Bristol, England. See Mr. Biddle's account of the earlier history of the painting, written before he secured it, in his Memoir, 317-319. See also a note in the Historical Magazine, November, 1869, 2 Ser. vi. 306- 307, copied from the Bristol, England, Daily Times. -Vlr. iialford eventually sold it to Mr. Biddlc, who hung 't in his house at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, where it was destroycct 'iy fire in 1845. Fortunately, two careful copies of Ihe portrait had previously been made, for the New York Historical Society, and by John G. Chapman for the Massachusetts Historical Society. See the Pro- ceedings of the latter society, for March and June, 1S38, ii. loi and III. This portrait was for some time teputed to be by Holbein, but modern discoveries in regard to that painter's career show that this is hardly possible, riie portrait is evidently English, and must therefore have been made after Cabot's return to London in 154S, when Holbein appears tr have been dead for several years. See under Appleton, below, for the report on the Massachusetts copy of the portrait, in Mass. Histor. Socy. Proceedings, yAtmnry , 1S65. viii. 91-96. With the exception of the legend no. 8 on the Cabot map, this is the only direct testimony, presumably from Sebastian himself, as to the principal fact involved. But being clumsily expressed, it is uncertain whether the son or the father was intended to be repre- sented as the knight and discoverer. The honor is given to but one of them, but unhappily the only statement clearly expressed is that Sebastian Cabot is an Englishman and the son of John Cabot a Venetian. — Deaue in Winsor, America, iii.31. There is no other evidence that either father or son was ever knighted, although Purchas, Pi/grimes, iv. 1177, gives the title ot Sir to Sebastian. In the entries referring to nis pension, he is styled " armiger " or esquire. A copy of^this picture, i)rinted in the year 1763, hangs in the Sala della Scudo, in the ducal palace in Venice, with a Ion ■ Latin inscription composed probably at the time the copy was made.

IS Chytr/EUS, continued. 1 h til ! I In 1565 a young Germarj sav.nt, oalled Nathan Kochhaff, but generally known under the name of Chytraeus, undertook a liter- ary tour through Europe. In the course of that extensive peregri- nation, he copied a great many inscriptions, chiefly from monu- ments, but he did not publish them until nearly thirty years after his return home. What struck Chytraeus particularly in Oxford, was a map.... which he fails to describe altogother. His attention was attracted exclusively by the inlormation in the letrends, and these he conied, notwithstanding the poor Latin in which thev are written. . . .I'hese inscriptions are . only the Latin text oUhe tabular legends in the Cabotian planisphere of 1544.... The typographical divi:.ion of the legends was different, (from that of the Paris copy), out. ...these differences lead us t<» presume that the edition of the map seen at Oxford may not have been different in its cartographical part from the one of 1544, but that the tabular legends contained no Spanish texts wliatever, while they set forth two more inscriptions in Latin. . . . But a very important difference is in the date. Where in the legend xvii. of the Pans map we read " plana ligura me de- lineavit, 1544." the Oxford one gives " plana figura ine delineavit 154Q." "This date, and the modifications in the typographical ar- rangement of the legends, prove, of course, the existence of a sec- ond edition, or issue, of the Cabotian planisphere." — Harrisse, Ctibot, 438-440.

A map ot the world, in colors, drawn by the Spanish navigator, Juan de la Cosa, on an ox-hide measuring five feet nine inches by three feet two inches. Originally belonging to the office of the Spanish Minister of Marine at Madrid it was found by Baron Walckenaer, in 1832, in a bric-a-brac shop at Paris. At the sale of his library in 1S53, (catalogue no. 2904), it was purchased by the Queen of Spain, and is now in the Niival Museum at Madrid. In this map, the earliest known on which the western discover- ies are drawn, the northern portion of the east coast of the conti- nent lying westward from Europe was do' ,ced, undoubtedly from English sources. A broad legend, " Mar descubiera por inglese," runs along this coast, and the easternmost cape is named ''Cauo de ynglaterra." A photographic facsimile, the size of the original, was made in 1SS9, and in 1S92 an excellent facsimile, colored by hand after the original, was issued wiih Antonio Vascano's Juan de la Cosa, Ensayo hiograjico, Madrid 1892; and also sold separately. An- other facsimile in colors is in Jomard, Monuments, pi. 16, in three sheets.

It was edited by Charles Deane and Leonard Woods. In Goldsmid's Edinburgh editions of Hakluyt, the Western Planting is printed in vol. xiii (America, ii) 160-276. In this argument, which was intended to influence the Qiieen, Hakluyt uses the conversation at the house of Fracastor, from Ra- Musio (see note under La Popellinikke, below) to support 1496 as the date of Cabot's discovery. This date is repeated on tlie map by " F. G. S." inserted in Hak- luyt's edition of Martyr, Decades, published in Paris, 1587. n u ■ ' , I ! '1! I' I illlP , ' I I I ' 1 1 i Hakluyt, continued.

Harrisse stales that " this individual was evidently a companion of John Cabot, and owner of one of the vessels in ihe squadron " which sailed in 1498. There seems, however, to be no evidence that he accompanied his ship, so that his presence in London in 1501 need not be conclusive evidence of the return of that or of anv other ship of the 149S expedition.

A portion, 9 books of the first decade, had previously been printed at Hispali, 1511. The complete work, in eight decades, was first printed in 1530, at Compluti, (Alcala, Spain); reprinted at Paris in 1587, edited by Hakluyt. In his edition, Hakluyt inserted a map by " F. G. S." which has " Bacallaos Ab Anghs, 1496," inscriBed on the Labrador mainland just north of the St. Laurence river. See note to Hak- luyt, Western Planting. An English translation of the first three Decades, published in 1555, is entered above under Eden. Michael Lok republished Eden's version, with the addition of the remaining five books, which he translated out of Hakluyt's Paris edition, — London, 1612; 1628; and undated, possibly 1597, perhaps later than 162S.

The date, 1497, on the coast of Labrador in this map, is espe- cially interesting when taken in connection with the change from 1494 to 1497 made by Hakluyt in the 1599 edition of his Voyages, lor which this map may have been drawn. A photo-facsimile was issued in separate cover with the Hakluyt Society edition of Davis's Voyages, edited by Captain Markham, London, 18S0.

Mr. Biddle, Memoir, 56, used this fact, in connection with the maps printed by Ortelius, as the basis for several sur- mises as to the probable aspect of Cabot's map, which have not been substantiated by the discovery of the mappa-monde of 1544, now in Paris.

The 1^3 edition has Ram- usio's name on the title as editor. For the " account of Sebastian C'aboto by an anonymous jjuest at the house of flieronimus Kracastor," at Caphi, near Verona, see fol.414 (i55()ed.) The word " Manluan," a clue which has served as basis for sev- eral ingenious attempts to identity this anonymous individual, was added to the description of him, by the editor of Ramusio's manu- scripts, Tomaso Giunti. Tliis was translated into English by Edkn, Deiades, fol. 255, from whom Hakmjyt, \'ovair,s, iii. 6-7, sorrowed it, although his marginal note refers to Uamusio. Ilakluyt's title to this narra- tive reads ; "A discourse of Sebastian Cabot touching his discouery of part of the West India out of England in the time of king Henry the seuenth, vsed to (.ialeacius Rutrigarius the Popes Legate in Spaine, and reported by the sayd Legale." In his Jean et Sebastien Cahot, 33S. or better Cabot, 4^i3-4'35, Harrisse follows the hints suggested by d'Avezac in 1S61 and Deane in 1SS4, and shows conclusively that inasmuch as Galeazzo Bottriuari, or Butrigario, died in 151S, before the date of events which Cabnt is reported as describing to the " Mantuan gentle- man," these two could not have been the same person. None of the other guesses at his identity receive the approval of Harrisse. Deane, in Winsor, America, iii. 26, accepts the arguments of Bullo and Desimoni proving him to have been Gian Giacomo Bardolo. In a careful study of this passage, in the lierne Critique, v. 26;, d'Avezac fixes the date of the reported interview as approximately 'S4'l or 1545. There is another English version of the conversation in Mark- ham, Journals^ 212-215. See also Deane's sunnnary, in Winsor, America, iii. 25.

Based on an extended examination of early maps, with a view to provinjjf that Scutari Island olf Cape Hreton headland, is the " isia de S. Juan," represented as near the Cabot landfall by most XVl. century cartographers. See note in Xnlion, Ix. 126. 850.12.60 Some sugfi^e.-tive hints on the probable variation of the compass in 1407-1498, anti the possible effect of this on the observations re- porteil by the Cabots, are j^iven in § iv, 57-5S, and 95-96. A useful summary of the early cartography of tlie Gulf of St. Lawrence is in § vii, 65-91. Argues that the legend, " Prima tierra vista," on the Cabot map, applies to the whole island of Newfoundland, and that the true landfall was the proper Cape Hreton, at the southeast corner of the island. Dawson's view is in a measure sustain' l by a Portuguese portolano, usually dated from 151410 1520. 1 rowse, AV;!;/^u/;/i/- /ie for October 1S66, x. 353-354, with an interesting note on the " dis- covery " of historical documents, by Henry B.

The " critical essay on the sources of information," which sup- plements Mr. Deane's narrative, pp 7-58, forms the most satis- factory starting point for a careful study of any phase of the Cabot controversies. Less exhaustive and less thorough than Harrisse, in the analysis >r the actual sources, it is also less dogmatic and less pcditive in c;;4ard to questions where certainty can not be his- torically establiLlied.

This he does in the belief that at this time, 1544, France, through Cartier's exploration, was establishing claims about the St. Law. rence gulf to the prejudice of England, and that Cabot, now in England, in order to rehabilitate the English counter-claim, falsi- fied the record, and inserted the inscription in a way to support the right of England to the territory adjacent to the gulf. It is hardly safe to hold that either .. .has established his theory beyond dis- pute." — Winsoi, CoiitroTersies, 7. In 1SS2, Mr. Harrisse printed in a single volume ail the scattered documents, narratives, and chance references, from which must be f'.erived any real historical knowledge of the lives, the achievements, and the characters, of John and Sebastian Cabot. In 1S96 he supplemented and completed his work, by i)ublishing the arguments and the conclusions at which he had arrived in each of the confusing problems which had made Cabot " the sphynx of American history." Mr. Harrisse's book is not a history; it is rather a laboratory manual, in which the student finds revealed each step of the pro- cesses through which the material of history has been forcea, in order that it might be made to render up the truth which was con- tained within it. The subject is peculiarly suited to the treatment adopted by Mr. Harrisse, — a treatment peculiarly adapted to his personal strength as an investigator of historical problems. 54 '1* jdon, B. F.

Harrisse, continued. His estimate of the character of Sebastian Cabot is probably not fair or true; but he has rendered an inestimable service, in that he has made possible, in the future, a characterization which shall be fair to human nature and true to the facts of history. His magni- ficent services as investigator and as student have transformed one of the most perplexing and most dimly hidden problems of colonial history into one ot those most easily understood.

He had three sons, of whom two, Louis and Sebastian, have the same names as those mentioned in the Cabot Letters Patent of 1496. The French fam- ily claimed desct. t from Louis, the second son. The device and motto of this family are the same as those of the Jersey family, from whom the New England Cabots are descender!, which differ from the motto given on the portrait of Sebastian Cabot.

The stylo and method of this book mav be judged from the author's introductory remark, p. x, that " tlie land which he first discovered... ought at this day, instead of America, to be called Cabotia." On p. iSS Mr. Nicholls says: " Emphatically the most scientific seaman of his own, or perhaps many subsequent ages — one of the greatest, bravest, best of men." Mr. Henry Stevens, in a review of this book, (see entry under his name), justly gives Mr. Nicholls full credit as " a painstaking chronicler, who has used all the materials that the active research of many geographers and antiquaries has turned up in the present century," but " he has studied so lovingly and so persistently that he has (Sebastian) Cabotized all his surroundings."
