Up to this d«^ February, j 876, forty Parts b|ve beeh publiijhed, and duHng. th« prwcm year not less than six more Parts will be issued, indeed, the work is going slowly, but surely, along > and it is hoped that it can be com- pleted in a few mo-e years, for very much of the work in the sequent letters of the alphabet is already done, and needs only to be put into the printer's hands. It is scarcely necessary to say dttt the labor is immense; the proofs aye all read not ^ess than five times and >y three and sometimes four different persons ; all the books of imporunce are very carefully descrthed* and it is believed that no bibliographical work of equal extent, has ever attempted so minute a description of so many books, for at this time the number of titles described amount to 32000, which number does not include the various editions of the works nor the titles of books of secondary interest which are printed in small type, which additions would more than double the number. From its nature it cannot, of course, aim at a large circulation- it is intended for the Historian, the Collector, syid the Librarian, beyond whose sphere it is not expected to circulate, and it is for their information, as to the stai^ of the work, that these p. ses^ are distributed. The author has receivedjnany commendations of the work, whieh might perhaps have been printed— he contents himself with a quotation from a letter written by Mr. Frederick Muller, of Amsterdam, himself an eminent bibliographer, who says "I am proud to be a bookseller, seeing a bookseller-has made such a book." , If 1. / P"P BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION or THE WORKS OF €♦ ^ennepin antr %. ire ^axtxa.

This is the first edition of the Travels of this famous friar, giving his voyage up the Mississippi from the Illi- nois river. He first described the Falls of Niagara, and, according to some authorities, named Louisiana after the then King of France, Louis xiv. But this fact is disputed by Harrisse and others ; it is, however, the first printed account of Louisiana. Hennepin.

It is identical, in fact, with Membre's in Leclercq, which Hennepin says was taken frohi his account. The charges against Hennepin's veracity are based on this interpolation chiefly. The preface con- tains a narration of his embroglio with Mr. La Salic. See Tromel, No. 422. The following is the same work with a new title-page only. Hennepin.

Map and 2 Plates. j.c.B. 31374 This Spanish version, which is of course an abridgment, concludes our long list of the various editions of the work of this famed traveller, who was " the undoubted dis- coverer and explorer of the Upper Mississippi, and the first to lay open to the world that mighty region." That he should have made some mistakes is not to be wondered at, and that when he first saw the Falls of Niagara he should have overstated the " won- derful downfall of above 600 feet," is not very surprising ; but his mistakes have not entitled him to receive thecastigations which have been heaped upon him. Bancroft, Vol. in., 202, remarks : " Had he loved truth, he would have gained a noble reputa- tion, who now is remembered, not merely as a light-hearted and during discoverer, but also as a boastful liar. The Journal of a voyage down the Mississippi in this book is a lie by the author." Charlevoix was the first to attack the author, not so much with reference to the truth of his statements as to his manners. He remarks that Hennepin " vents his chagrin not only on the Sieur de la Sale, but on France also, by which he deemed himself ill used, and he tries to save his credit by declaring himself a born sub- ject of the Catholic King. But he should have remembered that it was at the expense of France that he travelled in America, and that it was in the name of the most Chris- tian King that he and the Sieur Dacan took possession of the countries which they had discovered. He does not even hesitate to aver that it was with the consent of the Catholic King, his first sovereign, that he dedicated his book to William in.. King of England, and that he solicited that monarch to effect the conquest of those vast tracts, send colonies there, and have the gospel preached to the heathen. This step, which scandalized the Catholics, and made even Protestants laugh, surprised to see a rtHgieux, calling himself Missionary and Apostolic Prothonotary, exhort a Protestant Prince to found a church in the^ New World. All these works are written in a declamatory style, offensive by its inflation, and revolting by the liberties which the author takes, and by his indecent invectives. As to substance. Father Hennepin believed himself entitled to take a traveller's license; he is accordingly much decried in Canada, his fellow-travellers often protesting that he was anything but truthful in his accounts." — New France, Vol. i. On which we remark that it must be recollected that Charlevoix (whose remarks are ungrammatical) was a Jesuit, and that Hennepin belonged to an order who were opposed to them, that he should have solicited the assistance of ^ 10 ' I William iii. is simply a proof that he was no bigot. Mr. Field very properly observes that "criticism [on Hennepin] proceeds from sources which entitle him to the benefit at least of a doubt of its impartiality," and adds, " The author lost the support of his own brethren of the order of Recollects by neglecting or refusing to return to his duties in America as a missionary." "This Reverend Father was the most impudent of liars, and the narrative is a rare monument of brazen mendacity. Hennepin, how- ever, had seen much and dared much : for among his many failings fear had no part; and where his vanity or his spite was not involved he often told the truth. ... These fabrications occur, not in the early editions, which are comparatively truthful, but in the edition of 1697, and those which followed. La Salle was dead at the time of their publication." — Parkman's Disco-very of the Great fVest, p. 124. The question of Hennepin's veracity, as to his claim of descending the Mississippi, was first raised by Sparks' "Life of La .Salle," " Amer. Biog.," 11. i, followed by Shea, Parkman, etc. A portion of Hennepin's first work is given in Shea's " Discovery of the Mississippi," and his "New Discovery" is included in the "Amer. Ant. Soc.

Stevens observes " In the Preface to Bar- cia's reprint of Herrera, Madrid^ 1716-30, the editor repudiates this edition, as being full of typographical errors, and encumbered with matters not pertaining to Herrera." On which {2'^'"'''^'^^ remarks: "It is erroneously stated in the 'American Nuggets' that Barcia, in the preface to his edition of Herrera, repudiates the edition by Colin as full of errors. The fact is, that Barcia makes nowhere any remark prejudicial to the above publication of 1622, which certainly contains a faithful translation of the ' De- scripcion' of Herrera, and an equally faithful reproduction of the fourteen genuine maps. He alludes only to the Antwerp edition of 1728." But Mr. J2ua'''tch's note is appended to the French version, described infra, yet the criticism is probably correct. It is reprinted in part, in Vol. xii. of De Bry's "Grands Voyages." See Camus' " Memoirc," 147- i6oj Tiele, No. 294. Herrera.

The Portraits and Plates in the text are copies from De Bry, by Bouttats, and are not so accurate as those which are used in Barcia's edition. This Antwerp edition was, in fact, brought out with a design to forestall Barcia's, to which it is very inferior, especially with regard to the absence of the maps, without which the " Descripcion " is almost valueless.

In some sets the " Descripcion de las Indias _ Occidontales," or " Historia general de los Hcchos de los Castcllanos," 1730, is found preceding the " Tabla" in Vol. iv., and in the Large Paper copies it is usual to bind this "Descripcion" and •' Tabla" together as a fifth volume, indeed, some small paper copies are thus divided. There are copies of i-his edition dated 1727, 1728, 1729, and 1730, which are all alike except as to the date — the work not having been com- pleted till that year — the publishers cfianging the dates as circumstances suggested. It is merely a reprint of the original edition of 1601-1615, with the addition of a very copious index, compiled under the direction of Gonzales Barcia, but without a continu- ation, as erroneously stated by Meusel, and it is deservedly regarded as the hen edition.

G. de Millis. 1 606-12. 3 vols., folio. s. 31559 " Histoire estimee." — Brunet. "A work written under the influence of contem- porary passions, and published before any of those passions had been much tranquilized." TlCKNOR, III. 142. A grand chorus of writers, from Nicholas Antonio down to Thomas W. Field, unite in their testimony as to the fidelity of this Prince of Historians. He was successively employed as historiographer by Philip ii., iii., and iv., and having access to every avail- able source of information, made free use of many original documents which had never before been printed, and which no longer exist in MS. His works embrace a large part of the MS. "Chronicle" of B. de las Casas, and almost the entire MS. "Relacion" of Palacio is incorporated with his fourth decade. A French bibliographer, quoted without name by Tromel, observes : " Parmi les historiens de I'Amerique, D. Antonio T^^ i6 de Herrera tient incontestablcment le premier rang. II naquit en 1559, ^* *^"' quelque temps secretaire de Vespjsien de Gonzague, vice-roi de Naples, et fut ensuite nommee par Philippe 11. historiographe des Indcs. Son ouvrage est ce que nous possedons de plus complet sur I'epoque qu'il embrasse." The Spanish bibliographer Salva says : "Cet ouvrage est un des plus importants qu'on ait publiea sur Ics decouvertes des Espagnols dans le Nouveau-Monde." Munoz, at the aid page of the prologue to his " History of the New World," remarks : " Herrera eclipsed all other historians on the same sub- ject which had till then been published, in fullness of matter, truth of narration, chronological arrangement, geographical accuracy, and beauty of style." J. Bcldon de Guevara writes : " No one of all those who have writ on this subject has performed it with so much exactness as Ant. de Herrera." The Italian, Davila, observes "This history is very useful for all sorts of people, because the author's method i.s very good, being at the same time bri2f and intelligible, joining profound knowledge and undoubted truth, and undeceiving us as to many errors into which other authors have led us." The Scotch historian Robertson remarks : " Of all the Spanish writers Herrera fur- nishes the fullest and most accurate informations concerning the conquest of Mexico, as well as every other transaction of America ; his Decades may be ranked amongst the most judicious and useful collections." The English bibliographer Dibdin observes : " Antonio de Herrera is well designated by Bishop Kennett as the chief chronicler of the Indies and Castile; he stands in the foremost rank of early American Historians." Our own Washington Irving, in his " Life of Columbus," concludes a judicious criti- cism thus : " Herrera has left voluminous proofs of industrious research, extensive Information, and great literary talent. His works bear the mark of candour, integrity, and a sincere desire to record the truth." Ticknor, in his " History of Spanish Litera- ture" accords him equal praise; and Thomas W. P'ield's "Essay on Indian Bibliog- raphy" concludes our series of eulogizers with tile statement that " His work is a perfect treasure-house of the most valuable details, regarding the original state of the religion and manners of the Indians." ■PPvnivBi EXPLANATORY.
