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

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

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

 In consideration of Twenty Dollars of Antiquarian Money received of

 necessity. W. B. Rich.

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

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

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

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

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

 Small octavo. Chez Antoine le Prevost, Ronen, 1728." 
 Tiie editor, in behalf of his rumerous notes, historical, bio- 
 graphical, explanatory, geog/aphical, bibliographical, gossipy, 
 and personal, desires it to be understood that they are to be 
 taken at what they are worth, he having given them only 
 where he had something to say, or some duty to perform either 
 to himself or to the public, and that they are not designed to 
 force up the prices of the particular lots to which they are 
 attached ; but are intended rather to shed a bibliographical 
 flavor over the entire Catalogue. Most of the better and 
 rarer lots of known and prime importance are recorded with- 
 out comment, as Mather's IMagnalia, Hazard's State Papers, 
 etc., the titles sufficiently explaining themselves. On the 
 other hand, many of the moi*e elaborate notes, some of them 
 not complimentary to the books, will cost far more in printing 
 than the lots will sell for. Neither has he indulged in over- 
 much bibliographical quiddling about the mechanical and 
 manufacturing points of the books, as to the quantity of the 
 paper, the quality of the binding, the brilliancy of impres- 
 sions, the crushed levant (whatever that new-fangled term 
 may mean) add the number of copies of certain recent re- 
 prints, the inertia of which on shelves it is hard to overcome. 
 It is not easy to convey any adequate idea of a large un- 
 common collection, like this, short of a patient reading of the 
 entire Catalogue from end to end. The editor therefore has 
 exercised his ingenuity to sweeten the labor, and thinks per- 
 haps it may bait the attention of the indifferent reader to be 
 informed that in the General Histories of North and South 
 America there are many works of authors such as Acosta, 
 Anglerius, Apollonius, Barcia, Barlajus, Benzoni, Clavigero, 
 Eden, Hazard, Herrera, Labat, Laet, Lafitau, Las Casas, Pe- 
 ter Martyr, De Solis, Garcilasso de la Vega, etc. In local 
 and particular history of Colonies, States, cities, towns, vil- 
 higes and parishes, the titles are too many to specify here. 
 In bibliography, the reader is invited to consult the Cata- 
 logue under Asher, Bibliotheca Chethamensis, Blades, Brit- 
 ish Museum, Catalogues, Collier, Fry, Harrisse, Macray's

 Bodleian Library, Moule, Nutt, Quaritcli, Rotlielin, Stevens, 
 Whiting, Boturini, and the notes under several of the Mexi- 
 can titles. For rare and valuable Manuscripts, he is ref"l*red 
 to Benedict Arnold's characteristic Autograph Letters from 
 Ticonderoga, Fay's urgent letter to the Green Mountain 
 Boys to reinforce General Gates against Burgoyne ; Gorton's 
 Answer to Morton's New Englands Memorial, the original 
 Autograph MS written in 1669 ; Riccio's MS account of Her- 
 nandes' Natural History of New Spain ; and the Original 
 Book of Minutes of the Corporation for New England in 
 London for thirty years, 1655-1685, under N" 1399. For 
 the Indian languages of America, see under Avila, Juan de 
 la Anunciacion, Mexico, 1575 ; Paredes, Tapia Zenteno, Vil- 
 legas, etc. Works pertaining to Canada, Acadia, and the 
 British Provinces generally are numerous, some of which, 
 as rare as they are important, may be seen under Canada, 
 Champlain, Charlevoix, Cornutus, Denys, Examen, Henne- 
 pin, Joutel, LaHontan, LeBeau, LeClercq, LeJeune, Mac- 
 kenzie, Memoires, Montcalm, Nova Scotia, Relation, Shea's 
 Publications, Shirley, Tanner, Thevenot, Thevet, Tupper, 
 and Vimont. Pertaining to New England, California, New 
 York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, the Mississippi Val- 
 ley, the Great West and North West, the works are numer- 
 ous ; and equally so on Mexico, and other parts of Spanish 
 America, as Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, etc. The works pertain- 
 I ing to Washington, Franklin, and Hamilton, are well repre- 
 sented, and so are the departments of early geography and 
 discovery, atlases, maps, the Indians, slavery, colonies, the old 
 French War, the Stamp Act, the Revolution, tobacco, statistics, 
 etc. Though last not least, there is a large number of works 
 on the natural history of this Continent, not the least curious 
 of which is N° 243o, wherein the learned author endeavors to 
 account for the introduction and rapid increase of Asses in 
 the New World. He says nothinfj however about their beinff 
 found among either bibliographers or book collectors.

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

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

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

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

 From this small book, in wliich the compiler li;is justly shown i^reat priile in his 
 subject, we learn that liosTox, the capital of the State <it' Massaeluiselts, baviuff 
 18,(i:38 inhabitants in 17!)(t, with Hull, Chelsea, anil lliu;;liani constitutes the 
 Comity of Suffolk. It has 'J7 streets, :ili lanes, -Ji; alleys, besides IS eourts, etc., 
 most of them irrejiular. "and not very eonveuieiit." State Street, however, is 
 very spacious, '• and beiuf; on a line with Louf^ Wharf, where stranf,'ers usually 
 land, exhibits a tlatferinj,' idea of the town." The foreign and domestic trade of 
 Boston is very considerable, " to support which there are three Hanks," viz: 
 The Union, discount dav Tuesday; the Massacliusilts, discount day Monday; 
 and the U. S. Branch, discount da_vs Mondays and Thursdays. " The principal

 to say nothing of the consideral)le portions of the world beyond, there are now 
 20 coaches nnd 100 horses employed. " Attempts have been made to change the

 American genealogical materials. Few families in this country can boast of 
 genealogical trees of harder wood; or can trace more niinutu hi.'ttorical and 
 genealogical ])articulars of their English ancestors th«n those who have de- 
 scended from some of the early emigrants to (ieorgia, whose names were so 
 carefully recorded by William Stephens, the First Historian of that Colony. 
 'Ihese volumes with other early records of (ieorgia, filling 21 folio volumns, 
 were once, utider promise of secrecy, dejiosiied with the writer for four hours, and 
 oflered tor £500. lie ottered £300 and lost the ]irizo. When by death the 
 obligation of secrecy was removed he invited the distinguished baronet who 
 now jiosscs^es the collection, to breakfast, and communicated to him the circnin- 
 stances. Within three daj's the collection changed hands, and now slumbers 
 in the West of luigland. When it shall wake to the public use, this book and 
 everything else jiertaining to William Stephens will awaken to new interest.

 books that have been elaborated since on the same suhject, instead of superseding 
 Clavif^ero's, have tended rather to magnify its imporiance.

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

 strange and rare Case, great and manifold afflictions, for tennc 
 years together. Related by her friend Hart On-hi. Vellum, 
 short copy, some leaves clipped. 16" London, 1647 
 
 The interest to New Kn(;1an*lers of this curious book centres not in tlie main 
 rtibject but in what is incidentally tuld ot' one of her opiritual advisers. Mnt. 
 I>rake was a half crazed relipous enthusiast, whose spiritual health retjuired 
 constant wrestling; with Satan and Doctors of Divinity. Possessed of pro{)erty, 
 her husband pmcured the Kev. Mr. Dod, who for three years disputed con- 
 stantly with all her temptations and objections, " and was able to answer all,'' 
 but beinf; oblijjed to leave, he bniked about for another helper. '' In which in- 
 terim, notice was jjiven unto him of one Mr. Hookkk then at Cambridge, now 
 in New Kngland: A threat .Scholar, an acute Disputant, a strong learned, a wise 
 modest man. every way rarely qualitied; who being a Xon-confomiitan in 
 judgment, not willing to tremble hiniselfe with PrtstnUitice Livings, was con- 
 tented and jiersuaded bv Mr. D<>d to accept of that poore Living of 40^ per 
 annum; Mr. Drake her ilu>band being a worthy well-beloved (ientlemun, and 
 able to procure his liberty, and retaine him still in the same: This wurtby man 
 accepted of the place, having wiihall, his dyet and lodgiiigat Ksher Mr. Drake's 
 hou>e.'' p. 117. "This man, Mr. Hooker being a good, acute, »HMr/ I'reacher 
 when be listed, besides that infonnilinn Mr. Dod had given him, was so wise, 
 first to try her spirit," etc. p. ll'J. " For Mr. Hooker being newly come from 
 the I'niversity had a new answering methodu (though the same things) where- 
 with shee was mervellously delighted," etc. p. 120. Mr. Hooker lived long in 
 this family, till she imagined " her time on earth was but of small continuance. 
 About which time it fell out, that Mr. Hooker also having acted his part with 
 her, and done his best, to comtbrt. uphold and rectilie her spirit, so fitting her 
 for mercy, as nothing remained to l)e done but a full gaile of spintuull winde to 
 blow upon her, to bring forth her fruit, that by (Jod's providence he was mar- 
 ried unto her waiting-woman: .\fter which both of them having lived some time 
 after with her, and he cal'd to be Lecturer at Chelmsford in Ksse.x, they l>oth 
 left her," etc. These early glimpses of one of the most honored of our New 
 England fathers, are refreshing.

 When the collectors, bibliographers, librarians and public libraries of this country 
 shall turn their attention to the collection of tli3 true sources of early American 
 history, regardless of the language in which they arc written, this ma^^niticent 
 collection of voyages, compiled by Isaac ("ommki.in of Amsterdam, will be 
 belter appreciated than it is now. A mere glance at the table of Contents will 
 show its mestiniable value to the historian and geographer of the Kast as well 
 as the West. When it is comprehended that more than one half of these 
 im|)ortant voyages are here printed for the first time, even Committees who can- 
 not read a word of the language in which tliey are printed, and Librarians who

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

 " No LiniiARY IS COMPLETE WITHOUT IT." 
 
 Some six or eij^ht months after the publication of iliis M(i;imim Opus in New York it 
 was taken up warmly by the members of the Geographical Societ}' of I'aris, and, 
 after the manner of that learned IJody, referred to a Connuittee to examine ami 
 report upon it. The report was drawn up by that distinguished geograplnT, 
 savant, and man of sense, JI. Khnkst DesjakIh.ns, and read at tlie sitting oltlie 
 Central ( 'ommission, the 18 Jan. ISti", and published in the Ihdklin of the follow- 
 ing April. Monsieur "vkuis.sk had permission accorded to him to liave 500 
 copies struck off separately, at his own expense (Bidktin, p. 40(i). From this 
 elaborate Report, the following translated extracts will mingle amusement 
 with instruction. " Permit me, Gentlemen," says M. Desjardins, " to greet with 
 pleasure, on its ajjpearanco, the fiust wouk of solid kkudition wiiiiii 
 Ameuicwn Scienck has I'KODUfKD, and which is due to the ])atient refcarth, 
 to the ardent love of high historical studies, and to the criticism as sagacious as 
 methodical, of a young savant, ]M. IlAiiiassE, a Frenchman by origin. I am 
 happy to add that the first duty of your reporter is to render to tin; author, in 
 the name of the Geographical Society of I'aris, an homage, let us rather say a 
 justice, which to the present hour, has not been rendered to liim elsewliere tliiui 
 in France. I am not here to examine for what reason the country to whicli this 
 usefid work does so much honor has remained indifferent to the publication of 
 this new and unique repertorj' which will henceforth serve as the necessary guide 
 to the future historians of the discovery and cou<inest of the New World." .... 
 " The well known impartiality of our Society makes it my duty to declare at 
 once that there has not hitherto been published a more useful book for the prep- 
 aration of the American history of the sixteenth century, and I hasten to add 
 that this judgment, for it is not a persunal opinion, is already confirmed by the 
 special men of both worlds, who pass as the best arbiters in these matters, M. 
 IcAZHALOKT.v of Me.xico, whose most complete approbation without any re- 
 striction, I have now before me; RI.d'AvE/AC, a judge so competent in learned 
 bibliography, who has presented M. Harris.se's works to the Academj' of Iiiscrip- 
 tions and Belles Lettres (Session of the 10th Aug. 1806) accompanying this

 see, something in the applause of such. judges to sup|)ort unjust or tlimsy criti- 
 cism, and to have confidence in a work to which the future belongs." . . . . 
 " Tiud which cannot enough be praised in this immense woi'k, is the vigorous 
 nu'thdd which the author has followed, and which it will be permitted to us to 
 call by its true name, the French Method. He has not lost .«ight, even in his 
 long dissertations, that he is a bibliograpiier, as such, charged with offering to tiie 
 eriKlite public all the documents, and accompanying them with their historical 
 justification, never thinking that he was permitted to set forth his own opinion. 
 He applied himself to correct all the errors running through the histor}', but iil- 
 ways in bringing forward proofs by facts, and never conjecture by reasoning. 
 Every book is described de «««," etc. — " It will be understood that M. Harrisse's 
 work, in spite of the exceptional interest which tlie numerous dissertations it 
 comprises present, is not one of those which can be read consecutively and all at 
 a breath. I shall add that there are very few readers sutKcienfly competent in 
 each of the branches of American history to discover the errors of a man so 
 learned as M. Ilarrisse." . ..." I must still add, to be just, that M. Ilar- 
 risse has a|)plied to the accomplishment of his task as mnch abnegation as zeal 
 and intelligence. He has given, without pretending to derive from it any ma- 
 terial t'ruit, all his time to the editing and tyj)(igrai)hical direction of an admira- 
 ble collection, the Fin.fT spkcijien ok Ameiucan ekupitton, and the repertory 
 henceforth indispensable to all serious study of the conquest ol^ America," — and 
 so on through a dozen pages. It will perhaps be an act of simple justice to one 
 of the half dozen " arbiters " named above to add that he told the writer, that 
 his iudorsemcnt and recommendation of the book consisted in a bareh' civil 
 acknowledgment of a presentation copy with a few commonplace compliments. 
 Me could not, he thought, under the ciicunii-tances, have written less, and 
 was consefiuently much surprised at the use made of his letter. 
 As there are two sides to the Atlantic, so there apjiear to l)e two opinions as to the 
 merits of this book. M. Harrisse througliout his work had played swagger to a 
 certain Vermonter who had for some time resided abroad, and to whom he was 
 much indebted. iM. Ilarrisse undertook to befoul him with many untruthful 
 flings, insomuch that in the London Atlienauni of the Cth of Oct. 18CG, this (i. 
 M. li. telt it a duty to himself as well as to the public to apply publicly the beech 
 sv'd, a remedy which the early Green Mountain Hoys always found effectual with 
 trespassing Yorkers. After bringing him to with a blank cartridge and cur- 
 sorily examining his papers, and taking poor Andkis Schiffahht under his 
 protection, this obscure writer concludes his fou'' columns with the following 
 brief summary. "The book at bottom is not a oadone; but the author has 
 made it a mere fact-bag and crammed it with no end of extraneous matter. 
 Like the jackdaw he does not appear to be able to resist anything brii/ht, but 
 picks it up regardless of its use or relevancy. The style of printing the titles in 
 (ipimvent facsimile misleads, and is a mistake. The collations are often obscure 
 and not precise enough. There is a distressing want of uniformity in the orthog- 
 ra|)liy of names of places and persons. The mis-spelling of names is astound- 
 ing. It is no exaggeration to sa)' that \\w evvithi of names alone will make a 
 list of 500. Two persons are made of one ; one is made of two. Some are 
 created altogether, witness Ander Schifl'ahrt. Chronology is sot rt detiance. 
 (ieography is obscured. History is in a nuidillo. (Jrainmar and tl e Queen's 
 Knglish tortured, if not murdered. Arknowlf<igmeiits are generaliy wanting 
 where most required, and often given where not deserved, 'the index, though 
 extremely full, is not trustworthy, names being left out of it purposely, or cer- 
 tainly not by accident. Evidences of bad temper are abundant, and flippant 
 <!iiigs, which can always be parried. are))lenly. M. Harrisse quotes largely at 
 second-hand, and omits to mention the books most used. His general and par- 
 ticular scholarship is lamentably detlcient, liis pedantry and plagiarism manifest, 
 his want of courtesy to predecessors and fellow-laborers, his spite and obscure 
 vision as to the wants of others, are api)arent thoughout. These are some of the 
 faults which should be looked to in a future edition. I hear with feeling akin 
 to national pride that the author of the Hiiiliotiieca Amkhioana Vkti'stih- 
 siMA is not an American, and that therefore this book cannot fairly he charged 
 to American scholarship." One hundred extra copies of this number of the

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

 by authority) an Authentic Copy of the Petition to the 
 King. Half morocco. 8° London, 1775 
 
 Dk. Fkanklin, it is believed, caused this volume to be issued in London, in 
 January, 1775. Its eflfect was startling, for it proclaimed to the disscriniinuting 
 British Public (if there was at that time such a body) that the Kn^liisli Inn- 
 guage had acquired new vigor and clearness in being transplanted to the 
 Western shores. The pith, point, and force of these Public Papers, astonished 
 the politicians and statesmen of Westminster, and delighted the friends of the 
 Colonies. The Original Petition of the Continental Congress to the King 
 dated Oct. 26, 1774, from which the above was printed, containing the signatures

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

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

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

 Folio, Basilite, apud Andream Cratandrum, Januario, 1522 
 The stniy of thin Book is too long to be told here, but it has played, and is still 
 destined to p|ay, a prominent part in the early geofjraphical historj' of this 
 continent. The editor's real name was Joacliim Watt, born at St Gall, in 
 Switzerland, November 29, 1484, but educated chiefly at Vienna. Althouffh a 
 classical scholar, theologian, and poet, he seems to have been an arduous 
 student of geopraphy. In fact the best books we have on the peograithical 
 effects of the discoveries of Columbus, Vespucci, the Cabots, Dias, Da Gamn, 
 Cabral, etc., came from two distinct fraternities of students; the one at St Ui(*, 
 of whom Philesius was the soul, and the other at Vienna, of whom Vadianus 
 was the movinf; opirit. It will not be difficult, probably, to show a connection 
 between these two gymnasiums. Indeed, this volume" helps ns to many im- 
 portant facts. From St Di^ came the suggestion'to name the Mundui Noius of 
 Vespucci America, and in 1512 Vadianus, in his letter to Apricola, Jr.. adopts 
 the snppestion. This letter was printed by Agricola in July, 1514, in small 4to, 
 and dedicated to their mutual friend Caspar Velius, of Ursina, in Silicia. The 
 game year Lucas Atlantse, an enterprising publisher of Vienna, announced 
 as having on his anvils the works of SoMNVa, to be edited by Camera, and 
 PoMPONius Mkla, by Vadianus. Vadianus finished his large work and it was 
 published in 1518. In his prolegomena he speaks of the necessity, to a proper 
 understanding of the subject, of having the prominent places pictured on a map. 
 Young Apianus, another student at Vienna, was then at work upon his great 
 map of the world, but this was not finished till 1520, when it appeared with the 
 SoLiNus of Camers. This map, the first one known with the name America, 
 was no doubt intended for both the Pomponius Mela and the Solinus. These 
 two books are uniform in size, and after 1520 were issued together, and the 
 map when found at all, is usually bound in the middle, between the two. 
 Vadianus returned to St Gall, his native place, and practiced as a phvsician, 
 but kept up till long after his interest in geographical studies, tiaving 
 qunrrplled with Camers, he reedited his Pomponius Mela, and caused it to be 
 reissued at Basil in 1622 (this edition), inscribing it, in an explanatorj- letter, 
 dated at St Gall in April, 1521, to his friend, Dr. John Faber. This was the 
 Faher, a native of Etaples, near Boulop^ne, a mathematician, an astronomer, and 
 a geographer, who had, with others in 1499 published at Venice that superb 
 edition of Sacrobosco, posting up cosmography and nautical astronomy to that 
 date, and who, as Professor at Paris, in 1504, stimulated his young pupil, 
 Mathias Ringman. to the study of cosmography. Ringman, horn at Schles- 
 tadt, not far from Strasburg, having read at Paris the letter of Vespucci, trans- 
 lated by Giocondi. also residing in Paris, found his youthful mind fired by it to 
 such an extent that on returning home he translated into German and printed 
 at Strasburg, in August, 1605, Vespucci's letter. Ho soon after travelled into 
 Italy, from whence he brought back a Greek MS. of Ptolemy, given him by 
 Pico de Mirandola. This manuscript he took with him to St Di^, in Lorraine,

 quotes, many of them bearing testimony to the valuable services of the Order 
 as missionaries among the heathen of both hemispheres. He also enumer- 
 ates the Popes, and other high officials in the Church, who have testitied in 
 their favor, and declares that the movement for the suppression of the Order 
 was instigated by the enemies of true Religion, and is headed by the Devil 
 in person. This defense is strongly fortified by many historical allusions to 
 services in the new world from the time of the entrance of the Dominicans 
 into Mexico in the time of Cortes.

 This book seems destined to live the full ape allotted to a lie. Xotliing has more 
 lives, or is harder to kill than a pood political lie well told, which has once taken 
 in statesmen, philosophers, and liistonans, whose reputation and interest encour- 
 age it to snrvive. This little book has in its day played its part on many titages, 
 and its day seems not j'et over. It has many times been pronounced spurious, 
 yet there are some who still assert its genuineness <ind defend its authenticity. 
 So it has been from its publication in March, 1777, and so it probably will be. 
 It comprises three long letters purporting to be from the Marquis de Montcalm, 
 Governor-general and Commander-in-cliiof of Canada; the lirst to M. do lier- 
 ryer, First Commissioner of tlie Marine of France, dated from Montreal, April 
 
 4, 1757; the second to the same ])erson, dated also from Montreal, Octolier 1, 
 1758; and the third to his cousin, iil. de Mole, First President in the I'arlianient 
 of Franco, dated at the Camp before (.Quebec, August 24, 175'.(, a few days only 
 before the fall of that stronghold into the hands of the English on the b'Jth of 
 September, a day forever memorable for its consequences to both Fnglaiul and 
 France, and the deaths of both of the great Commanders, Montcalm and 
 WoLFio. The lirst letter occupies thirteen l)ages, nine of which are taken up 
 with the copy of a letter to Montcalm, from S. J. of l5oston, dated .Tanuary 4, 
 1757, containing the cream and pith of the whole three letters, which together 
 fill 28 pages in Kuglish, and the same number in French. Thi.s Hostuii Spy, 
 whoever he was, apjiears to have been thoroughly well acquainted with the his- 
 tory, the powers, the aims, the interests, and the proclivities of the several Fng- 
 lish Colonies, both as to their relations to each other, and individually and 
 collectivelj' to Mother England. He jjroposes to Montcalm a scheme for under- 
 mining the power of Great Hritain, by encouraging free trade between France 
 and the English Colonies indirectly through Canada. He states the case phil- 
 osophically, based upon well-known facts, and jiredicts almost precisely the 
 course of events for the next tifteen years. Indeed, S. J. writes precisely such 
 a letter in 1757, as a man of great intelligence could only write in 1770, or 1775, 
 alter the passage of the Stamp Act in 1765, its repeal m 176(5, and the various 
 other more or less vindictive enactments of the Parliament anent the Colonies, 
 till the pouring out of that great vial of wrath, the Huston 1'out Bill. 
 
 5. J. writes, page 3, " The commerce of all the other Colonies might be drawn to 
 and tixed in Canada; for if you there introduce all kinds of manufactures, espe- 
 cially your Indian goods, from France, of which the middling class of our plant- 
 ers are so ridiculously fond ; if you made considerable imports from Franco of 
 your brandies, wines, and other liquors, you would find drunkards enough in the 
 colonies to take them oif your hands: thus you would soon ruin liie manufac- 
 tures of iMigland, which would soon tind no market here, and <>m money would 
 circulate among your merchants. A double advantage would arise to vou from 
 
 , this, since, while you were enriching yourselves, you would be impoverishing 
 your natural enemies. It is true that I'.ngland, too clearly perceiving her iip- 
 proaching ruin, would not fail to make heavy and loud complaints. The I'ar- 
 linment would immediately pass bills to suppress this commerce, so ruinous to 
 their nation; .... a secret and fraudulent trade may enrich an individual, but

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

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

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

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

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

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

 aced, and l)acked tlie Coniinistnioners of the United (Colonies; how it foimd nut, 
 elected, and supnorted Kliot, and befriended Mayhew; how it clothed, fed, 
 physicked and emiciited the praying Indians; how it encouraged and paid for 
 the printing of the Hible, and many other books, in the Indian lanKuage; \wit 
 it selected and sent over Marmaduke .Fohnson to print at CambriiiKe; how it 
 helpe<l the Colle(;e, and supported Missionaries both to the Colonists and the 
 Savages; how it kept the Church at home alive to the wants of the Mission in 
 New Kngland and printed all the Prof/res»e$ of llie (impel avionff the Indiant: 
 when all these memories are brought home to our business and bosoms, perhaps 
 some other Cor/n>ralion in New Hnnland vi'iW see enough in the Volume to secure 
 it, and give to the world, through the press, its contents in a neat volume, and 
 80 repay an instalment of the interest on the great debt of gratitude so lonK 
 over-due to that brave Old Cromwellian Corporation. This volume has long 
 sued in vain for appreciation and a home in this countrv, like the Ilakluyt Man- 
 uscript of 1584, the Walter Ludd of 1507, the Logbook of Capt. Luke Foxe, the 
 I)inwiddie and Washington Papers of 1751-1758, the Private Record Book of 
 I)ieskau and Montcalm of 1755-1759, and honest old Gorton's answer to Morton 
 in 1(561). As tlie_v become lost to America they become precious and worthy of 
 printing. It is impossible to give any adequate idea of the value of this volume 
 uv a mere description, for though it contains much that is now irrelevant to 
 New Kngland history, vet it all illustrates the history of the Corporation. A few 
 extracts may interest tlie reader.

 port addressed to Gov. Esdicott. It pertains only to the first question of Bap- 
 tism, the two parties agreeing substantially about Consociation. The quei-

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

 This large collection of Voyages, compiled by J. Iluttich, and edited by Simon 
 Gryna;u8, with a Geographical Preface by Sebastian Munster. all of the old 
 University of Basle, at the expense of a Jo. Hervagius, a IJasil Publisher, 
 should find a place in every public library, inasmuch as the original editions of 
 the Papers of which it is made up, are now almost unfmdable. Considering 
 the date of the tirst edition of 15312, the reader should study some of the voy- 
 ages with both of his eyes open, the one to detect the mistranslations aud the 
 other the misconceptions of inland geographers, who misread the reports of the 
 navigators. The volume contains, 1. The voyages of Cadaniosto down the 
 coast of Africa in 1454-1455 ; 2. The lirst three voyages of Columbus, 141)2- 
 1498 ; 3. Of Vincent Pinzon to Brazil in 1499; 4. 'iTlie four voyages of Ves- 
 pucci, 1497-1504 ; 5. Of Pedro Alvarez Cabral, 1500-1501; 6. Letter of King 
 Emanuel to Leo X respecting the discoveries of the Portuguese in India, 1513 j 
 The Voyages of Varthema ; 7. Description of the Holy Land in the 13th cen- 
 tury, by Procard ; 8. The Relation of Joseph the Indian ; 9. The three works 
 of Marco Polo; 10. Ilaython's account of the Tartars; 11. Sarmatia, by

 1522. This last piece is in none of the three previous editions of 1532 (ISasil 
 and Paris), and in German, 1534; (see No. 1419 supra).

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

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

 The author of those volumes, Don .T. J. F. do Lisardi, hns been styled the Cervan- 
 tes of Mexico by some, while Dr. lleristain in his liihliotecn J/i'tpami Amiricma 
 Sepltnlrionitl, culls him the American Quevedo. lie has written much, and on 
 the whole rank.s perhaps ns the best Mexican writer. The present work is one 
 illustrative of Mexican character, satirizing the I'aulls of the people, but nhvav! 
 true to liljcral and republican principles. This copy has his portrait inserted. 
 The CO lithographs illustrating the work are sjiiritod and amusing. Liaardi wm 
 born in Mexico in 1771, and during the period of the lievolution wrote very 
 much, and chiefly as the Pttuador Mtxicnno.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 This extraordinan' book to be appreciated niiiKt be aeen. It i* adorned with 
 ten elaborate and hi(;hly-t!ni8hed co|)])erplate lino engraving*, four of them 
 lar(;e ova) portraits of Kiason, I.utiVKitTi'KK, Ckistouai. and 1)ksai.ine8 the 
 fir^it Kmperor of ilavti, exi-eedinfrly well engraved by Rea of Mexico. The 
 remaininK '■ix are liHtorical printx, deHigncd and cn^jraved by Manuel Lopez, 
 artiot uf Alexico. Though intendi'd for seriouA high art, there is a grotesque 
 absurdity about some of the Kcenes truly laughable. Witness the murder of the 
 young mother in the tiold in the foreground, and a landscape of trees and moun- 
 tains in the background (p. 33), and the coronation scene (p.73)whcre Hesalines 
 is reprenented ' high on a throne' with \m loyal supporters of sable hue on 
 either side, so dark that nothing but the whites of their eyes relieve the pic- 
 ture.

 A book of considerable historical interest outside of the particular religious sub- 
 ject treated. It tills 8 prelim, leaves and 38li pp. The Apparition of the Santo 
 CitiSTo itB Ciiai.ma, representing which inere is a copperplate frontispiece 
 prefixed to this volume, occurred in Mexico in 1530, and Irom that day to this 
 Its history lias been interwoven with the eeclesiustical, and is sometimes insep- 
 arable from the i>olitical, history* of Mexico, C8[>ecially so far as the manage- 
 ment and education of the Indians intrusted to the misiiioiiaries of the Order 
 of St Augustiu are concerned. The large nuinlier of the earliest and rarest 
 looks relating to New Spain, referred to and quoted in this work, renders it 
 indispensable to tiie historian. It is furthermore replete with biographical notes 
 and references, not easily found elsewhere.

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

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

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

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

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

 1996 STRANGWAYES (Geuroe) The Vnhappy Marksman. 
 Or a Perfect and Impartial Discovery of that lat^ Barbarous 
 and Unparallel'd Murther Committed by Mr. George Strang- 
 wayes, Formerly a Major in the King's Army on his Brother- 
 in-law Mr. John Fussel an Attorney, on Friday the Eleventh 
 of February. Together with a full Discovery of the Fatal 
 Cause of those unhappy Differences which first occasioned the 
 Suits in Law betwixt them. Also the behavior of Mr. Strang- 
 ways at his Tryal. The dreadful Sentence pronounced against 
 him. His Letter to his Brother-in-law, a Member of Parlia- 
 ment. The words by him delivered at his death ; and his 
 stout, but Christian-like manner of dying. Published by a 
 Faithful Hand. Ovid. Trist. lib. 5. Strangvlat inclusus dolor, 
 atque cor eestuet intus. Excessivelt rare. Fine copy, vellum, 
 82 pp. 4° London, T. N.fvr R. Clavell, 1659 
 
 Victor Hugo, in his recent novel, " L'homme qui rit," describing the horrors of 
 the Press-house of Ntwyate, has brought the subject of this little book into ter- 
 rible prominence. That author, so far as the scenes are laid in England, pro- 
 fesses that he has not exceeded the reality, and that he has not gone beyond 
 the letter of the law or the not unfl-equent practice of the courts. Yet he has 
 portrayed scenes of torture in Protestant England that were rarely or never 
 exceeded by the Inquisition of Spain. The London Times of the 14lh of 
 last October, in reviewing M. Hugo's book, asserts that the author has disre- 
 garded history, and introduced scenes which it is impossible to believe could 
 nave ever taken place in England. A week later, in the London Telegraph, 
 of the 22d October, Mr. Swinburne, tlie poet, comes out in an able and per- 
 fectly convincing defense of his French friend, and shows that it was the com- 
 mon practice, when a prisoner of a certain class refused to plead, to condemn 
 him to the torture of the jxress till death, or till he consented to plead. Mr. 
 Swinburne alludes to this case of Major Strangwayes as the last case of one 
 d3'ing under this torture, about the middle of the 18th century. He was 
 herein mistaken one century, as to Major Strangwayes, but there was a case in 
 1720, of Spiggott who submitted to the press with much courage for some 
 time, but finally yielded, plead, lived awhile, and died a wretch in body and 
 soul, two or three years later. Several papers have appeared in England on 
 this subject within the last few years, but this original account seems to be little 
 known, while at the same time it gives important details, and far exceeds in 
 otKcial horrors anything written oy M. Hugo or Mr. Swinburne. The high 
 social position of the murderer and the murdered, and the whole chain of cir- 
 cumstantial evidence, are given in full in this contemporary account. For 
 reasons which he deemed suiticient. Major Strangwayes refused to plead when 
 brought betbre the court, and " persisting in his first resolution not to plead, 
 tiears from the offended court thts dreadful sentence : — 
 
 " 77(a( the Prisoner be sent to the place from whence he came; and that he be put 
 into u inean Bouse stopped from any Light ; and that he tie laid uijon bis Back, 
 with his Body bare, savinff something to cover his Privy part* ; That his Arvis 
 shall be stretched foi-th with a Cord, the one to one tide of the Pi'ison, the other 
 to the other side of the Prison ; am in like manner shall his Legs be used: Ami 
 that upon his- Bodu shall be laid as much Iron and Stone as he can bear, and 
 more ; And the first day shall he have Three Morsels of Barley Bread, and the 
 next day shall he drink thrice of the Water in the next Channel to the Prison 
 Door, but no Spiing or Fountain IVater: And this shall be his punishment till 
 he die '' 
 
 Thus in the Press-house in London, in February, 1658, because he would not 
 plead, the prisoner died, his friends looking on, and some of them even mount- 
 ing the press among the iron and the stones in kindness to hasten his horrid 
 death. Can Victor Hugo over i lor these simple facts V 
 
 An age later, in 1692, Giles Corey of Salem Farms, paid a like penalty. In Mas- 
 sachusetts a witch's soul was snaked out of his body by an old law, while a

 death. And well might young Cotton Mather exclaim: —

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

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

 At the head of the dedication are the arms of the Archbishop of Mexico, en- 
 graved by Antonio Mokeno, Mexici sculpsil. The volume contains eleven 
 preliminary leaves, and 58 pages. Aside from the intrinsic value of the work 
 as one of the principal ones upon the languages of Mexico, there is on the tenth 
 leaf a piece of elaborately ingenious trifling worth mentioning. It is an Elogio 
 of sixteen lines, by Dr. Miguel Joseph Moche, upon the Author, so arranged in 
 concentric circles, like a wheel of sixteen spokes, that each line terminates in A, 
 placed at the hub. The middle letter of each line is a capital. Then reading 
 first round the tire, then the middle circle, ending at the hub with A, we have 
 these 33 letters: D. Tapia dk Senteno mui feijz viva.

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

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

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

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

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

 Fine large copy, measuring 11^ by 7| inches, in half russia binding, with many 
 rouf>h leaves. Small holes by a* worm and a nail (easily mended) slightly dis- 
 figure the volume, but not so as to obscure the text. 'Will make a splendid 
 copy when cleaned, sized, and bound. This, one of the earliest and most im- 
 portant books relating to the Great Discoveries of the East nnd West, is a trans- 
 lation of the Paesi novamente retrtwali of 1507, and, like that book (which has 
 lately sold as high as ^75), contains the voyages of Cadaniosto, 1454-55, of de 
 Cintra in 1462, of Vasco da Gama, 1497-1500, of Cabral in 1500-1501, of Colum- 
 bus, 1492-1408, of Alonso Negro and the Penzons, of Vespucci, third royage, 
 1501-1502, of Cortereal, 1500-1501, etc.

 Maria Bandini iibersetzet, und mit Anmerkungen erliiu- 
 tert. Portraits of Vespucci and Dante. 8" Hamburg, 1748 
 
 This German edition of Bandini is much rarer than the original Italian, and ia 
 particularly valuable for new views expressed by the German editor. The able 
 article on Vespucci in the North American Review, by Caleb Gushing, in IS—, 
 was based on this translation, he then not being able to procure the original.

 This important tract has now become very rare. The corr<>spondence reflects 
 the highest credit upon the Green Mountain ISoys, who flocked over to I'latts- 
 burg, and joined the small force under the Command of General Macomb.

 The dry sarcasm of this book is something delightful, when applied to the 
 Mexicans just after their great struggles for independence. These are 
 some of the new words taught and explained to the new-fledged Repub- 
 licans just emerged from the ignorance and barbarism of the Old Empire 
 into the broad light of the Revolution: Aristocracy, Citizen, Constitution, 
 Democracy, popular elections, emigration, education, farmer, frugality, 
 governor, honor, humanity, Jacobin, liberty, law, literature, public opinion, 
 pacto social, patria, patriot, politics, republic, religion, reason, rents, sans- 
 culottes, truth, virtue, etc. all explained in a Pickwickian or Noviomagian 
 manner.

 A large portion of the titles recorded in this volume relate to America. Few 
 bibliographical works exist, on any subject, more exhaustive, or more honestly 
 done. It has been incorporated, after the manner of latter-day bibliograpiiy, 
 entire (but with reverent hanils) in Joseph Smith's great work on Quaker Lit- 
 erature, but it is refreshing to consult old Whiting, in his truthful simplicity, 
 in his own volume.

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

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

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

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

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

 eral aiiagram, but one con readily see the holy impudence when this engine of

 alphalM-t receive eoch a numcal value, A to I hi-inf th' units ]-!l; K to S the

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

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

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

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

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

 Folio, Amsterdam, Uj Jacob Pieterss Wachter, 1634 
 The author of this excessively curious and rare work was Vice-Admiral of the 
 celebrated expedition of the Dutch in 1043, under Admiral Hendrick Brouwer, 
 against the Spaniards of Chili; timt printed at Amsterdam in 1046, and three 
 years later forming the 25th Part of the Collection of Hulsius. Brouwer dying 
 on the passage out, the command fell upon Hbkckmans, who was probably the 
 amateur compiler and editor of the various Journals. This Zee Vaert Lof is aa 
 elaborate historical poem in six books in honor of Navigation. AH the cele- 
 brated voyages of the world from Nonh to 1632 are recorded in chronological 
 order. The voyages of discovery, leading up to the discovery of America, are 
 mentioned witb considerable detail, and after Columbus are recorded most of 
 the voyages both to the east and the west, especially the expediiions of the 
 Dutch navigators. The voyages to the north are hU mentioned in the text and 
 notes. The volume is beautifully illustrated by an engraved title and eighteen 
 exquisite etchings in the text. The one at the beginning of the third book 
 bears the mark of Rembrandt, with the date 1033.

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

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

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