An extremely interesting book for its scientific encyclopedic contents and its famous World-Map. During the Millenium after Ptolemy, the art of drawing maps had become almost extinct among learned men and scholars in Europe, yet some passages in writings from this long period might be cited showing that maps were then in use even for educational purposes. The World-Map of 1472 contained above is a planisphere modelled on some lost original of the tenth century. ONLY 4 COPIES OF THIS IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC BOOK IN U.S.A. (ACCORDING TO'CENSUS). 1478 A.D.

Though born in England he was a teacher of mathematics and astrology at the University of Paris. Few mediaeval literary works have enjoyed such extensive credit as his " Opusculum Sphericum," or "De Sphera," of which sixty to seventy editions, generally provided with extensive commentaries, have been published. The work is a manual of the principles of astronomy and cosmography. The author here adopts the spherical form of the earth, and the existence of antipodes. At least he divides the surface of the earth into five zones. With but slight modifications the map is inserted into almost all editions of Sacro Bosco's "Sphera." During the 14th and 15th centuries it was probably the only accessible general map of the world to a number of students. (Nordenskiold Facsimile Atlas, Page 38). " It is evident that a work originally written in the early part of the thirteenth century cannot contain anything on America, but the ' De Sphera' became to the mathematicians and geographers of the century following the rediscovery of America by Columbus, an inexhaustible source of commentaries."

On the verso of leaf A 1 is a modified Itolemaic Map of the World engraved on wood, which shows Europe, Asia, and the northern portion of Africa. On the latter we find the Nile, with its sources in two lakes, one directly on the equator, and the other just south of it. These lakes correspond in place with those now called the Albert and Victoria Nyanza, showing that their location was surmised, if not actually known to geographers, at least four centuries before their late rediscovery. At the south, streams rising in mountains flow into these lakes. The Niger in western Africa is also laid down. This map is a very early exampie of true chiaroscuro printing. Of Pomponius Mela nothing whatever is known, but he is believed to have lived in the time of the Emperor Claudius. This is one of the earliest geographical works, the editio princeps of which appeared in 1471. It is written in a clear and simple style, and notwithstanding its conciseness is enlivened with interesting descriptions of manners and customs.

The finely engraved maps are the work of Conrad Schweynheym and Arnold Buckinck. They include a World Mlap, 10 maps of Europe, 4 of Africa, and 12 of Asia. The maps of this edition as masterpieces of copperplate printing were not surpassed for centuries, and they still take the first place among the maps of all the numerous editions of Ptolemy's Geography, hitherto published. They are based on the copies by Donis of Ptolemy's Maps, but the style of the drawing is here greatly improved. Whilst, for instance, a very practical and convenient manner of indicating the mountains is used in this map, Donis only marked the mountain ranges by encircling lines. In uncoloured maps one was thus likely to confound mountains and seas, but this is no longer to be apprehended with the plain and handsome topographical dressing used in the maps of Schweynheym-Buckinck.-(N:ordinski6ld, Facsimile Atlas, p. 14, who aliso gives reproductions of the whole of the. 27 famous copperplate maps.) "The maps are the finest that have appeared in any of the early editions, they were commenced about the year 1472, by Conrad Schweynheym, the first printer in Rome, who spent nearly three years in supervising the engraving. The maps, originally designed by Agathodaemon of Alexandria, in the fifth century, or earlier, were copied from the Greek manuscript of Ptolemy, preserved at Vienna, with the additions of some names from the text, and a Latin tra;nslation of the Greek inscriptions. The inscriptions were not engraved, but were made with a punch and mallet."

It was published three or four months after Columbus had returned and made known his discovery, but in this Chronicle, MARTIN BEHAIM IS GIVEN THE HONOUR OF BEING THE ACTUAL DISCOVERER, AS A COUNTERCLAIMI SET UP IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEWS OF COLUMBUS' RETURN. The passage in question states that Juan 'II., King of Portugal, sent, in 1483, Diego Cano, 'a native of Portugal, and Martin Behaim of Nuremberg, with some galleys to Ethiopia; that they went to the Southern Sea, near the coast, and, after crossing tie line, reached the New World, where, when they happened to look towards the East, their shadow, at noon, appeared on the right; that in that region they discovered lands, heretofore unknown, which had not been searched after by any people for many years, except the Genoese, and that in vain; finally, that aftei a navigation of twenty-six months they returned to Portugal; and in proof of their discovery brought pepper and grana paradisi. An examination of the original manuscript of the work, which is still preserved in Nuremburg, has shown the passage to be an interpolation, written in a different hand. The globe made by Behaim in 1492 shows, also, that he made no claim as an American discoverer, there being nothing upon it to indicate that he had any knowledge of this alleged voyage. On the other hand, it is claimed that little is known of the last years of Behaim's life, from 1494-1506, and that there is no reason why the discoveries depicted on his later globes, as for instance, the Strait of Magellan, may not have been acquired by personal knowledge. The work contains two important maps. The first is a copy of Ptolemy's Map of the World, and is a vigorous woodcut, decorated on its right side with a frame of human monsters, and on three of its corners with drawing of Shem, Ia.m and Japhet. The other map is of more importance. It is the FIRST MODERN MAP OF CENTRAL EUROPE, published in print, and, as such, of so much the more interest, as it seems to be based on the lost map of the celebrated Cardinal Nicolaus A. Cusa.

It was written by Verardus and acted at Rome in 1492. As is well known, two copies of the Original epistle were written by Columbus in Spanish, one addressed to Luis de Santangel, a secretary to King Ferdinand, and the other to Gabriel (misprinted Raphael) Sanxis, treasurer of Aragon; bothl practically identical in other respects. The Sanxis copy was translated into Latin in Naples 29 April, 1493, by Leandro de Cosco, and this is the version now being described, and which was the only original one known prior to the discovery in recent years of the original Spanish text. This is the famous "Second Letter of Colum1bus," and is the second edition of the Columbus Letter with a colophon and a definite date, but the first edition of Verardus with the Columbus letter containing the account of the Admiral's first voyage. The woodcuts are as follows:(1) On title-page full-length portrait of King Ferdinand of Spain, crowned, dressed in full armour holding the Escutcheon of Castile and Leon in his right hand, and tlat of Granada in his left, and the words "Fernandus. Rex Hyspanie." (2) Columbus and another European in a boat landing on the shores on the New World offering a goblet to the timid unclothed natives, some of whom are advancing, while others are running away; at top of the woodcut the words "Insula Hyspana " (San Domingo). A caravel in the foreground. (3) Map of the islands discovered by Christ.onher Columibus during his first voyage, viz., Hispaniola, Fernandina, Ysabella, San Salvador and Santai Maria de ia Concepcion. (4) A town and fort in process of construction by tle seaside on Hispania, and the words " Insula Hyspana " (San Domingo). (5), Single Escutcheon of Castile and Leon. (6) A fine full-page woodcut of Columbus' Admiral's ship, showing Columbus' cabin on the stern, in full sail, the words above being " Oceanica Classis." 'he reason of these two distinct works being issued together is obvious from the title-page. By them is commemorated tl'e memorable year 1492, in wlich happened two events of the greatest importnnce to Snoin, viz., the destruction of the Moorish power and the discovery of the New World. The letter begins (translation):" Hav;ng now accomplished the undertaking upon which r set out, I knowl that it wil7 be agreeable to 7uou to be informed of all I have discovered in m.y voyage. On the 33rd day after I left Cadiz I reached the Indian Ocean, where I found many islands peopled by innumerable inhabitants; of d'l which I took possession without resistance.

Pope Innocent VIlI. died in July, 1492, eight months before it was known in Europe that Columbus had discovered the New World, consequently the para' ~i ggraph in question could not have been in the Oration as first delivered by Valascus, but must have been an interpolation when printed in 1494, wlich was only a few months after Columbus' return, and wihen all Europe was e;cited over his great discovery. At that time the rival claims of Spain and Portugal was causing a great controversy as to whether the honour was due to Columbus or to the jr Pl'ortuguese Navigator Behaim, and both countries were consequently claiming from the Pope the possession of the New World, which the P]ope eventually (livided between Spain and Portugal. It is therefore likely that this paragraph was purposely inserted into the 7printed ORATION to claim for Portugal the discoveries in contradistinction to Spain. 1494 A.D. [16] STRABO (Gnosius).

Sebastian Brant, a German satirical poet, wrote the "Ship of Fools," a poem which enjoyed considerable popularity in its time, and was translated into Latin and the principal European languages. The popularity of this work is attested by the fact that four different editions of the Latin edition were published in 1497. There is a passage which is of interest for its early allusion to the New World, in which Brant repudiates the errors of Pliny and Ptolemy for stating that there was no land beyond the sea to the West, and gives a full-page engraving of Pliny as a "Fool." 1498 A.D.

Rome, I51O. ~12 12s Harrisse B.A.V. 64. Church Catalogue No. 33A. Sabin No. 663. The aluthor of this work, in the masterly way in which he discourses, upon the antiquities of Rome, showsl himself to have been one of the most learned archaeologists of hi.s day. After spealklng of tue liome 0o tile past, lie proceeds, in his third book, to the consideration of the New Rome, and finishes the work with a chapter on Florence, in which he enumerates itss orators, writers, painters, and other famous men among whom, on the reoto of' the last printed leaf, appears a reference to Vespuecius, and his discovery of New Islands. This allusion is of considerable interest, and as trantla.ted reads as follows: " In the New Wl'orld Albericus Vtspulsius, a Florentine, sent by the Most Faithful King of Portugal, and later by the Catholic King of Spain, first discovered New Islands, and unknown placcfs, as appears in his Libellurnm in which he graphically describes the stars and New Islands, and as also appears in his Epistle on the New TWorld, to Laureniius de Medici, the younger." These wo'rds plainly indicate the existence of two books by Vespuccius prior to 1510.

Antonio Vespucci was named after his uncle Giorgio Antonio Vespuoci, the eminent scholar who educated Ameirigo and taught him astronomy and cosanography. The document concerns the appointment of certain citizens of Florence to the office of Priori, and these citizens, ten in number, are all named. They were accorded peculiar privileges. (Trans.):-" All of whom may bear any arms whatsoever throughout the city, county and district of Florence for the whole of their life; and may also likewise during their life by day and by night throughout the said City of Florence walk with a light together with one companion freely, lawfully and with impunity; and may also claim privilege touching any office whatsoever during the time of one year from the day of the end of their said office without making any payment."

Apianus has borrowed his geographical elements. from a Lusitano-Ge-rmlanic map which was the sceme model -used for the, Nordens-kidld g-ores. Conis-equently, tile nort-h-wes'Lrn -continental land is akin to the samie reggion in the Canerio chart. the, prototype, or a near derivative of which Apianus ha's certainly consulted, as can he scen from the, two Spanish flags p-laced a~t both ends of that land.

The author is Juan de Padilla, born in 1468, and who died sometime after 1518. Juan dei Padilla was commonly called " El Cartuxano," or the Carthusian, because he chose thus modestly to conceal his own name, and announce himself only as a monk of Santa Maria de las C(uelvas in Seville. Beifore,he entered into tihat severe monastery, he wrote a, poem called " The Labyrinth of the Duke of Cddiz," which was printed in 1493; but his. chief works were composed afterwards. "The one entitled ' The Twelve Triumphs of the Twelve Apostles,' was completed on the 14th of February, 1518; a poem formidable for its length, since it fills a thousand stanzas of nine lines each. It is partly an allegory, but wholly religious in its character, and is composed with more care than anything else its author wrote. The action passe's in the twelve signs of the Zodiac through which the poet is successively carried by Saint Paul, who shows him, in each of them first, the marvels of one of the twelve Apostles; next, an opening of one of the twelve mouths of the infernal regionis; and lastly a glimpse of the corresponding division of Purgatory. Dante is evidently the model of the good monk. Indeed, he begins with a direct imitation of the opening of the 'Divina Commedia,' from which, in other parts of the voem phrases and lines are not unfrequently borrowed. The language, which has a. decided air of yet elder times about it, is free and strong, and the versification, considering the period, is uncommonly rich and easy." (Ticknor, "History of Spanish Literature."). MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. I9 THE LETTERS OF FERNANDO CORTES. Fernando Cortes, after Columbus, was taie most picturesque of the group of Spanish Conquistadors. He wrote five long detailed letters to the Emperor, Charles V., on his discoveries and Conquests in Mexico, of the first of these, supposed to have been printed in 1519, no copy exists. We offer for sale the Third and Fourth Letters in the original Spanish. These Spanish relations of Cortes are rarer than the relations of Columbus. " Fernando Cortes was born at Medellin in 1485. He spent two years at the University of Salamanca, but returned home without finishing his course. Having determined on a life of adventure he made his first voyage to the New World in 1504. In I 5 he returned, having joined Velasquez' expedition to Cuba as the commander's executive officer. In 15 I8 he persuaded Velasquez to appoint him commander of a party to explore Mexico. At the last moment Velasquez appears to have regretted the appointment, but Cortes hastened his preparations and left Santiago on the I8th of Nov., I518, landing on the shores of Mexico on the fourth of the following March. He sailed along the coast, finally taking possession of Tabasco. At San Juan de Ulloa he first learned of the extensive empire over which Montezuma ruled, and decided upon its conquest. He thereupon founded the city of Vera Cruz, caused himself to be appointed Captain-General of the colony, scuttled his ships, and set out on his march towards the City of Mexico. After four battles he entered Tlascala September 8, I519, and soon after pushed on towards Mexico, reaching that city early in November with a force of some 6,ooo natives and a mere handful of Spaniards. He seized Montezuma and placed him in irons, but afterwards restored him to a semblance of liberty. An attempt at this juncture by Velasquez to compel him to surrender his command temporarily diverted him from his object. He promptly captured Narvaez and the army which had been sent against him, recruiting his own forces from the defeated troops. He then returned to Mexico only to find that the people had risen against the Spaniards. Driven from the city, a battle was fought on the plains of Otumba, in which Cortes won such a decisive victory as to re-establish his prestige. Collecting a new army. he vigorously renewed his efforts, and the city of Mexico fell into his hands with terrible loss of life and property." 20 MAGGS BROS., 34 c& 35, Conduit Street, L ondon, W. 1523 A.D0.

(Madrid, about 1528.) ~10 10s The two questions debated by the Dominicans were (i.) whether war is lawful against the American Indians; (ii.) whether prisoners taken in such war are legally slaves. Pedrarias was Governor of Darien at the beginning of the 16th century and infamous for his cruel treatment of the Indians as mentioned in this legal opinion. He founded Panama (the oldest European city in America) in 1518. The Dominicans were asked by the King of Spain whether it was lawful to wage war against the American Indians, and whether the prisoners taken in such wars were legally slaves. The above is the answer of the Dominicans in the negative. It is curious to note that Enoiso also wrote a pamphlet in answer to the above work we offer for sale, in which he naturally wrote in favour of the Spanish Conquistadors, and stated that in his opinion it was legal to possess Indian slaves., MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 23 THE ONLY COPY KNOWN. THE LONG-LOST " FOURTH BULL OF I493." 1530 A.D. [39] ALEXANDER VI. (Pope). the famous long-lost Bull " Dudum Siquidem Omnes " (in Latin), granting to the King and Queen of Spain the whole of the New World. Folio, calf. (Madrid, 9th May, I530.) ~350 This is the First Edition (hitherto absolutely unknown to all bibliographers) of the famous " Fourth Bull of 1493." Alfonso de Fonseca, Archbishop of Toledo, first made this Bull public on 9th May, 1530, by publishing it at the request of the King of Spain, at Madrid. UNTIL NOW NO COPY WAS KNOWN, INDEED, THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE BULL WAS DOUBTED. The Bull gives all rights in the New World to Spain, the Pope abrogating tacitly therein the rights reserved to Portugal by previous apostolical letters. "When Christopher Columbus first returned to Europe after discoverin! America, stress of weather compelled him to seek shelter in Portugal. On Mlarch 4, 1493, he cast anchor at the mouth of the Tagus." invited by the King Joho II. to visit the Court he related to the King the object and results of his transatlantic voyage. The King of Portugal told him that in consequence of the Treaty which he had concluded, (signed at Lvora, September 8, 1479), with the sovereigns of Spain, the discovery embraced countries which belonged to Portugal. Columbus immediately on his arri al at the court of Spain advised Ferdinand and lsabella to appeal to the Pope for the adjustment of the difficulties just raised by Portugal on account of his discovery of the New World. The efforts of the Spanish Ambassadors a.t Rome, were crowned with success The two diplomats we're instructed to obtain, according to the general custom, the donation of the newly discovered countries. Alexander VI. made t!he requested grant by tthree Bulls, all of May, 149.3. By the first two of' these the Pope granted to Spain the Islands and Continents which Columbus had discovered, ais weil. asl those which might be discovered thereafter by the agents of Ferdinand and Isabella, but which were not yet under the sway of other Christian Princes. " The discontent of the King of Portugal wa's naturally very great, and le prepared a fleet with the intention of seizing on the countries recently discovered by Columbus.,4. fortnight afterwards Ferdinand and Isabella were informed of the preparation of the fleet and after negotiations the King of Portugal agreed to prevent his fleet from leaving Portugal. He sent envoys to Spain but the Portuguese envoys were not sufficiently informed to make negotiations successful." Meanwhile, Ferdinand and Isabella were planning the extension of the Bull of May 4 for reasons of a very servieeable chaxracter, which they stated to Columbus, as follows:"Since the conferences held with the Portuguese ambassadors, some say that between th.- cape called of Good Hope by the Portuguese, which is on the route they now, follow to reach the Gold Mine and Guinea southward, and the lin, which you say should have been in the Papal Bull, there may be islands and main lands, which, on account of the;r position under the sun, are believed to be of great advantage and richer than all the other's. And as we are aware that you know more than anyone elie on the subject, we request you to send us at once your opinion regarding the same, because if it seems to you that this matter is as it is thought to be, the Bull should be amended." (Continued over.) 24 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. Alexander VI., The Long-Lost Bull-conlinued. The reply which Columbus s?nt to his sovereigns unfortunately has not reached us. But we may fairly assume that he approved of the suggestion to have the Bull modified in the sense proposed. Judging from the allusion to the line which, according to his not:ons,!hould have been traced in the Bull of May 4, we must believe that he regretted to see it fixed so ifar to the westward. The probability is that Ferdinand and Isabella immediately forwarded to Rome a request to have the Bull of Tfay 4 so amended as to include in the donation male to Spain, lands and islands situate more to the eastward. Alexander V1. granted their request by a Fourth Bull dated September 25, 1493, which tiil our discovery of the long lost Fourth Bull (which we offer for sale above) was known only by a Spanish translation made August 30th 1554. by Diego (racian de Aldrete, then secretary of Philip IT. for foreign languages. That translation bearing the title of "Extension de la Concesion y Donacion Apostolica de las Indias," was preserved in the registers at Simaneas among the papers of the Patronato Real. The time when the translation was made led Harrisse to believe that the original Latin text must really have been in the State Archives; for in the milddle of the sixteenth century there was no reason for colmmitting a forgery of that character. But the archivists failed to find it for Harrissle at Simanoas or at Seville, and; no traces of that impolrtant Bull were found either in the Vatican or Lateran, notwithstanding arduous researchei undertaken at TIarriise's request. In spite of this Harrisse felt consstrained to believe that the Bull hald really existed in an authentic form, and this is what he writes on the subject of its value: — "Its importance is great indeed, as there is no longer in its articles question of the Line of Demarcation, and the Pope abrogates therein, tacitly, the rights reserved to Portugal by the old apostolical letters. Thus, the field of maritime discoveries is extended in favour of Spain as far as the regions in the East, including India. The terms and motives of this new extension deserve to be stated literally. Addressing himself to the Catholic Sovereigns, Alexander VI. says:"But as it may happen that your deputies, captains or vassal's may, in navigating westwards (rr southwards, sail in the direction of the East, reach the same, and d:scocer there islands and main lands belonging to India.. We amplify the donaiion and extend it with all its clauses to all the islands and main lands whatever, discovered or to be discovered, which in sailing westwards or southwards are or appear in the western, or southern, or eastern parts, and in those of India." Portugal therefore possessed henceforth only the route to the E'ast Indies by the Cape of Good Hope, which Bartholomew Dias had discovered in 1487. And if the belief, then universal, had been true, that the Atlantic Ocean bathed the Asiatic regions in the west, and if Columbus in his subsequent voyages had landed after Seoptelmblr, 1493, in the islands of the Indian Seas, or even on the east coast of Africaa, Spain would have been the absolute rightful sovereign of all those countries, the Bulls issued in favour of Portugal by Nicholas V. and Sixtus IV. to the contrary notwithstandl.ing. It is by this Bull, that the Line of Demarcation may be said to have been virtually superseded, and the validity of the rights of discovery and conquest established. For the sentence in the Bull of TLeo X., granting to Portugal "all past and future conquests and discoveries not only from Coape Bojador to the (country of the) Indians but every!where else, even irn parts then unknown," is not more comprehensive than the phrase in the Bull of Alexander VI., of September 25, 1493, granting to Spain "all islands and main lands whatever discovered or to be discovered in the West, in the South and in the East." At all events this is certainly tihe int(rpreta.tion which in Spain was given to that clause. Thus, in the opinion drafted by Jaime Ferrer for Ferdinand and Isabella, February 28, 1495, he says that his understanding of the treaty is that everything in the East shall belong to Spain, if her sships first go there.

Pietro Martdre d'Anghiera, better known by his Latinized name Petrus Martyr, the first historian of America, was born at Arona, in July, about 1455, and died at Grenada, in Spain, in 1526. He possessed eminent a.bility and learning, and is believed to have been the first writer to noti,ce in his works the discovery of America by his countryman Columbus, as he is the first who published a treatise descriptive of the peculiarities of the natives of the New World. In 1483 he went to Rome where he became acquainted with Cardinal Ascanio Sforza, and Pomponius Laetus, to both of whom many of his letters were addressed. He was extremely fond of letter-writing, and, it was owing to him that the news of Columbus's discovery, became speedily known to a number of people outside of Spain. In 1494 he was ordained a priest and appointed as tutor to the children of Ferdinand and Isabella. Seven years later he was sent on a diplomatic mission to Egypt, an account of which he has given us in his Legatio Babylonica. (Printed at end of above work). He was the friend and contemporary of Columbus, Vasco da Gana, Cortes, Magellan, Cabot, and Vespucilus. From personal contact with these discoverers, as well as from his official position as a member of the Council for the Indies, which afforded him the free inspection of documents of undoubted authenticity, he was enabled' to obtain, at first-hand, much valuable information regarding the discoveries made by the early navigators. These facts he embodied in his Decades, which were based upon his extensive correspondence, but were written with more care and give more ample details. His works were held in higihest esteem by his contemporaries and have always been placed in the highest rank of authorities on the history of -the first association of the Indians with the Europeans, and are indispensable as a primary source for the history of early American discoveries.

The Original Historic Letter sent by Almagro to Charles V. of Spain concerning the Conquest and Colonisation of South America. Comprising about sixty closely written lines on two folio pages; dated Pachacamac (Peru), Ist of January, I535. (SEE ILLUSTRATION, PLATE NO. IX.). ~250 THIS MIAGNIF1CENT IlISTrO.lCAL DOCUMENT IS THE ONLY LETTER OF ALMAGRO KNOWN TO BE IN EXISTENCE. This letter was written during thle time when Pizarro and his associates were looking for a suitable site for the new capital of Peru. Pachacalaac, some twenty miles south of Limla was one olf the pllaces considered. Finally, however, in midJanuary, 1535, a ~ortnight after this letter was written, the present site of Lima was finally selected. At the same time A.lmagro was quarrelling with Pizarro as to the boundaries between tlheir jurisdictionsi. He asked aor the governorship of a country which he had partly explored beyond the territory of Pizarro, and where lie might follow up the discoveries of Magellan. Subsequently, in this very year, Altmagro made his famous march into Chile, after which came the war between 'jizarro and Almagro and the death of the latter on the field of Las Salinas in 1538. (Translation):-"....4fter colonising the two towns of Quito, and leaving a suitable number of Spaniards there, I took with ime 150 gentlemen and hidalgos with whom I restored the city of San Miguel, and colonised, by order of the Governor, another town, sixty leagues further on the sea coast, which is ca!led Truxillo. It lies in a good locality, has mountain and plain, and all advantages added to its sea ports; from that town to this province of Xaitxa (Jauja) is another sixty leagues, in which the Governor has established another colony which will be very rich on account of the good district it commands, therefore at present all the land is in process of colonisation and all counsel and skill are being used to make it permanent. " You know that You were besought and petitioned by me to grant me the favour of the government of the lands and provinces which lie beyond the Limits of the government which You have belstowed upon don Francisco Pifarro, that I might govern there in your name.... a"... As the land is now in such a state that there is nothing further to achieve nor to colonise than what is colonised, I would fain begin again to serve You, and pass beyond this government tot seek and explore other great and very rich lands of which I have heard, to satisfy my desire which is to end my days in your Service. I have thought that the service of pushing forward will be no less than that which You have reaped fromnt this land, and f humbly beseech You to be pleased to grant me the government beyond the limits of that of the Governor don Francisco PiCarro, with all the lands I may discover, colonise, and conquer, and I pray that they will form other new kingdoms and lordships, and that the Governor and I may discover the Strait and treasures, sof that there may be a great fleet at sea and a numerous and powerful army on shore, and that he will aid us in that our endeavour, and the great desire and determination we have ever had and have to increase Your dominions and lordships, kingdom and Royal patrimony. For by Your granting me this government, the lands which lie beyond may be discovered, which, should You be pleased to order otherwise, would be very difficult to do and could not be accomplished without a great lapse of time and risk and labour to the Spaniards." Etc. As Almagro, like so many others of the Spanish Conquistadores, was of low birth and could not write, the letter was written and signed for him by his secretary. 30 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, JLondon, W.

The Church CataJogue only knew of 7 other copies. "The especially important event in South America in the first half of the sixteenth century was the Conquest of Peru. The number of persons in Spain wishing to emigrate or to join expeditions bound for the New Wtorld increased, and the settlements already established in the islands lost a large part of their inhabitants, carried away to Peru, by the desire for adventure and the wealth to be obtained; and the eagerness to get information from America was greatly intensified. "Reports and letters sent from, Peru.... constitute an important part of the historical record of Pizarro's enterprise. "Francisco de Xeres, was Pizarro's secretary, who left Spain in January, 1530. His account was written in Peru at the request,, or by the order of Pizarro. He returned to Spain in July, 1534, with the first instalment of gold, and his report was printed in Seville, in that year. Xeres was an actor in, or a witness of, the remarkable events which he describes, and his narrative has the freshness and vividness of a story by one writing of what he saw." (Adapted from Dr. MosesSpanish Colonial Literature in South America). Dominico de Gaztelu, the translator, was a gentleman of Navarre, a native of Tudela and secretary to Don Lope de Sorifa, the Ambassador from Charles V. to the Venetian Republic.

FIRST EDITION OF TIIS TIlE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK ON SYPHILIS, ON WHVICH R.UY DI AZ DE ISLA IS THE FIRST AUTHORITY AS lIE EXAMINED THE SAILORS OF COLUMBUS WHO FIRST BROUGHT SYPHILIS FROM THE NEW W ORLD. The translation of the most importsant passage relating to the origin of the disease is as follows:" Of the origin and birth of this serpentine disease of the Island Hispaniola. The disease which appeared and was seen in Spain in the year of the Lord, one thousand four hundred and ninety and three in the city of Barcelona; the which city was infected and in consequence the whole of Europe and the universe of all known countries which are wiihin reach of one another; the which evil had its origin and birth of old in the Island which to-day is called Hispaniola; this island was discovered and found by the Admiral Don Christobal Colon and up to the present there has been intercourse and communication wiih the people there. "And as this disease from its own heat is very contagious and easily comnmunicated it was quickly seen in his own navy, 4nd as this disease had never before been seen or known by the Spaniards, those men who felt pains and other effects of the said infirmity attributed it to the work they did at sea or to other causes according to what seemed fit to every single one of them. And at the time the Admiral Don Christobal Colon came to Spain the King and Queen of Spain went to the City of Barcelona, etc. In the following year 1491 the irmst Christian King Charles of France hired mlany people and p sused into Italy, and among them were many Spaniards who had been infected by this said infirmity and they started to infect the rest with this said infirmity.... In the Island of Hispaniola of old the Indians had called it Guaynaras also Hipas and Taybas and Yeas." In tle preface which is used to dedicate the book to King John III. of Portugal the author st'ates that a lmilion men at least had died of this disease because of their ignorance, whidh might be prevented by the nations having thedir attentions called to his treatise which was founded on his experience of over ten years as a salaried surgeon in tle L;isbon hospital.

With a curious woodcut of an execution on title. Small 4to, 7 pages, calf. (Seville, I1548.) (SEE ILLUSTRATION, PLATE No. XII.). ~210 * *This " relation " contains an accountt of the ievolt of Gonzalo Pizarro, of his defeat of the royalists under the first viceroy Bl1asco Nufiez de Vela, and Vlhex under Diego Ceatona, at the battle of Guarina, on October 16th, 1547, and of his final defeat and execution at the hands of Bishop P~edro de la Ga-sca. The last three Pages contain the sentence of Gonzalo Pizarro; he iq to be tied hand and foot and ta~ken on a imule from his prison, and publicly executed; his head is to be ta-keii to the Ciudad de les Reyes (ULira) and fixed on a gibbeit with the noti-ce: " This is the head of the Irailor Gonzalo Pizarro, 'Who rebelled in Peru against his sovereign, and battled in the cause of tyranny and treason against the royal standard in the valley of Xaquixa guano." Hi-s descendants, down to the second generation of males and the flrt of flemale-s, are to be held infamous, etc., etc. At the time of the murder of Francisco Pizarro by the adherents of Almagro, G'onzalo Pizarro was away on the, expedition to thbe RLiver A~mazon. "In 1542, Charles V. enacted the code known as the ' New Lows,' ' Encomiendas,' or grants of estates on which the inhabitants were bound to pay tribute and giv~e personal service to the grantee, were to pass to the crown on the death of the actual holder; a fixed sum was to be assessed as tribute; and forced personal service was forbidden. Blasco Nuiiez de Vela was sent out, as first Viceroy of Peru, to enforce the 'WNew L~aws.' Th~eir promulgation aroused a storm among the conquerors, Gonzalo Pizarro, who had just returned from his- expedition,' to find his brother murdered, rose in rebellion, and entered Lima on October 28, 1544 The viceroy fled to Quito, but was followed., defeated, and killed at the battle of A4naqu~ito. The 'New Laws' were weakly revoked, and. Pedro dle la Gas~ca Wfas isent out to restore order as first president of the Audiencia of Peru. He arrived in 1547, and. on April 8, 154, he routed the followers of Gonzalo Pizarro on the plain of Xaquixa guano, near Cuzco, and Gonzalo was executed on the fieild." This "relation" is the account of thi-s affair sent to, Spain by Pedro (10 la Gasca. It might be curious to note tha-t, in one pla-ce, as a special term of infa-my, Gonizalo is referred to as "'that lutheran of a Gonzalo Pizarro." A MOST INTERESTING.

EARLIEST ISSUE OF THE FIRST EDITION, having the titlepage dated 1552, instead of I553, as do the usually recorded issues. The title also bears a slightly different and simpler wording, and the full page title and woodcut is printed entirely in black. On the reverse of the title th:- setting of the " Contents " and of the " Historians of the ILadies " vary slightly. The Two Parts in one volume. Folio, calf. Saragossa, Augustin Millan, 1552. (SEE ILLUSTRATION, PLATE NO. XIII.). ~225 An earlier issue of Sabin No. 27724, and Medina Vol. I.,No. 153. With the very rare Maps, which are generally lacking. The First Part relates to the subjugation of Peru. The Second Part gives an account of the Conquest of Mexico, and is that portion of the work by which its author is best known. This is a great historical work, indispensable to the student of Spanish affairs in America after the Conquest. The dedication to Charles V. begins with these remarkable words: " The greatest event which has happened since the creation of the world (leaving aside the incarnation and death of Him who created it) is the discovery of the Indies." It affords us the most authentic views of the primitive condition of the Indians before tyranny had crushed, or civilisation had corrupted them. GOMARA prefixes a curious address to intending translators, warning them to be accurate and to measure the full significance of the pregnant Spanish phrases, also to pay special attention to proper names. He further declares that he is writing the, book in Latin, so that the translators may take no trouble in that language. His Latin version never appeared. THE TWO WOODCUT LEAVES. CONTAINING MAPS, ONE OF THE WESTERN AND THE OTHER OF THE EASTERN -IEMISPHERE, SEEM TO HAVE SURVIVED ONLY IN O OE OR TWO COPIES'. The Author in his address, "a los Impresores," by wfhom he meant future reprinters of his work, begged themn to omit nothing which he had taken care to insert in this original edition, " mayormente las tablas de la tierra." It was, this warning which induced Bellero in Antwe-rp to issue a small Traga de la Tierra with his edition of 1554. The difference between Bellero's map and Gomara's proves that the Spanish Government had effectually suppressed the latter, and that the Antwerp publisher was obliged to have a new design prepared which was decidedly inferior to the original in geographical accuracy. A fine copy, with only one or two slight defects, namely: The blank margin of title and outer margin of some leaves restored. Some facsimiling to the extreme bottom of the two maps, and their outer margins extended and to the corner of two leaves. Gomara was one of the earliest and at the same time one of the ablest of the Spanish historians of the New World. In 1540 he was the Chaplain and Secretary of Cortes, this connexion with whom gives value to his work, especially as he had acces to many documents which have since disappeared. 38 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, WV.

Bartolome' de Ljas Casas. the Apostle lo the Indimans of the,Sixteenth Century. was born in Seville in 1474 of aristocratic lineage, and died at Madrid in 1566. In. MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 39 Las Casas (Bartholomew)-continued. 1502 he went with Nicolasl de Ovando to Hispaniola, wlhere he settled, and in 1510 was ordained a priest. In 1511 he went as curate 'to a village in Cuba. He soon began to preach against the atrocious wrongs committed by the Spaniards against the natives, under a system of slavery the most cruel and destructive the world has ever known. This drew upon him the animosity or' Ihis sordid countrymen. Unable, by any means in hisi power, to check this cruelty, in 1515 he returned to Spain to make a personal appeal to Hlis sovereign. Ferdinand's death, which happened soon after his arrival in Seville, put an end to his hopes in this direction, but he found sympathetic friends in Cardinal Ximlenes and Adrian, the liegents, though he encountered general hostility to ihis views. He returned to Hispaniola Nov. 11, 1516, fortified with the title of the "Protector of the Indians." He made numerous voyages between the Indies and Spain, in his endeavours to alleviate their condition. At last wearied with his efforts and 'lack of success, he retired to a Dominican convent in San Domingo, in 1522. He there spent eight years in retirement, oocuipied in study and writing. His work was not at first allowed to be printed, but was submitted to the Emperor and his ministers. Twelve years later the work was published with a dedication to Philip, the heir to the throne. Though the number of victims was contested, it should be remarked that the acts of cruelty which, he described were never called in question. NOTES. T. One of the most gruesome books ever written. II. These four leaves whidh are appended to the Bievissima lRelacion are usually mentioned as a separate tract, though it is really a part of that work. It contains the narrative of a Spanish traveller who witnessed some of the cruelties practised upon the natives by the Spaniards. III. This tract gives the eighthi of tihe proposed remedies, and assigns twenty reasons to prove that tlhe Indians sho'uld not be given to the Spaniards in any form of slavery. IV. The Bishop, during his absence in Mexico attending a council,, had written twelve rules to the confessors whom he had appointed in his diocese to govern them in giving absolution. The rites of the Church were, by a Bull of Pope Pau'l III., refused to all wlho held Indians in slavery, and restitution of goods obtained by violence from them was required by the rules of the Bishop founded upon this great authority. Complaint having been made to the Council of the Indies of the rigour of these rules, the thirty propositions were written to sustain tlheni. V. This tract contains a strong enunciation of Las Casas' convictions, which grew out of his controversy with Sepulveda. It contains, first, a summary, by Domingo de Soto, of the differences between the two disputants; second, the arguments of Sepulveda; and third,, the twelve replies of Las Casas to the saane. VI. This tract contains j udicial authorities and reasons why the natives should be restored to freedom. VII. This tract was written in America in 1546 or 1547, for the direction of Confessors, during Las Casas' attendance at thime council held in the City of Mexico, in 1547, and may first have been printed in tlhat city. By these rules the Confesoers of his Bishopric were instructed to deny the offices of the Church to aLl such persons as held repartim,nientos, or who did not xestore the avails of unrequited labour to the Indians. VIII. This tract gives tlhe principles on which Las Casas conducts his defence of the rights of the natives, and was evidently written to familiarize the Clergy with the principles upon which he based his whole theory of t!he rights of the Indians to personal liberty and rights of' property. IX. The purpose of this tract is to prove the sovereign Empire and, universal dominion by whidh the Kings of Castille and Leon held the West Indies. 40 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 1552 A.D.

I{e was entrusted by the King with the examinlatbionm of pilots and sailing-masters for the Indies, taught navigation, and was held in high esteem as a cosmographer. This book was most popular with the successors of Columbus, and was translated into several lanmgu~a'tls. As the work was originally printed in 1545, tlhe mnap may be taken as emtbodying the results of Spanislh diascovelry in 154A0, as reported to him by the pilots, with whom his offici.al position as examjner brought him in constant intercourse.

The river Baguenay is,here indicated. a remarkable feature in so early a map.

Dated Valladolid, 18th October, 1555. ~21 T'he account of the services rendered to the State of Peru is of the greatest interest. "lfMelchor Bravo de Saravii, the third son of Captain Juan de Saravia, killed a gentleman at Salamanca, and therefore went to Italy, where he obtained the degree of doctor at the University oj Bologna. The King of Spain named him ' corregidor' of Ciudad Rodrigo, whence he was promoted to be a judge in Lima. He became President of the Audiencia (Supreme Court and Council), and was called the Lycurgus of Peru, and the Indians of Chile called him 'Father of their Country,' as long as he governed them. In addition to being an excellent administrator of justice, he was also a good soldier, as was seen in the rebellion, of Francisco Hernandes Giron. He took a lance and v-sed it so well, as if he had been a soldier all his life. He beat the rebels near Ayaviri, and took Giron prisoner. He died in 1577." 1556 A.D. [70] FRIZON (Gemma).

Zdrato had part in the conflicts occasioned by the arrival of Nuilies Veia and thle rebellion of Gonzalo Pizarro. He was one of the two commissioners sent by thle aidores to order Pizarro to disband his army, which he held at Jauja, and enter Lima with, only a small escort. Pizarro, however, sent out Captain Villegas, who met Zdrate on the way, arrested him, took away his commission, confiscated his provisions, and imprisoned him at.Uuiarochiri. Released after some days-, hie was persuaded to return to Lima, and it was suggested that, in consideration of his release, he should urge th~e audiencia to leave the governmen~t to Gonzalo Pizarro.

Having played his part in this turbulent period, a. part regarding which writers venture a variety of opinions. Za~rate returned to Spain, anmd, using notes made in America, wrote the Historia, del descubrinziento, y conquista. de la provincia del Peru. His final plan for this work was to treat of thle discovery and occupation of the country, and to narrate the principal events in the history of the colony until the pacification ihat followed the intcrvention of Pedro de l-a Gas~ca.

AUTOGRAPH LETTER OF THE "APOSTLE OF THE NEW WORLD," THE VENERABLE FATHER JOSEPH ANCHIETA, FROM PIRATININGUA (NOW SAN PAULO), WHICH HE FOUNDED. 1579 A.D. [83] ANCHIETA (Father Joseph), of the Society of Jesus, called the " Apostle of Brazil." Born 1533. Died in Brazil gth June, 1597. Autograph Letter Signed " Josepe S. J." (in Portuguese). I full page, closely written, 4to. Addressed to Captain Jeronymo Ceitar. Sunday, Piratiningua [now San Paulo] (in Brazil), I5th November, I579. In buckram case. (SEE ILLUSTRATION, PLATE NO. XXI.). ~210 A most interesting letter in which Father Anchieta refers to his work among the Indians, money troubles and to his numerous travels in Brazil. Father Ancdhieta founded at P'iratiningua the first College in Brazil, which was called the College of St. Paul, this name was afterwards given to the town which was built around idr, now San Paulo. In a letter to St. Ignatius Loyala, he desc.ribes his life there "Here we are sonmrtimes more than twenty in a hut built roughly of earth, covered with straw, 14 feet long by 10 broad. It is a school, infirmary, dormitory, refectory and kitchen all in one." Ile worked day and night for the Indians who came to learn Latin and to teach him their native tongue. "I am physician and barber, treating and bleeding the sick Indians.' The Portuguese colonists or St Andrew regarded these conversions as contrary to their interests, they feared Anchieta would make men out of their slaves, and taking arms they attacked the settlement at Piratiningua. Anchieta armed Ihis new converts and repulsed the assailants. After Anchieta's death the people cJamoured for his canonisation and he was declared "Venerable" by the Church. The process of his beatification was being considered in 1913. MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street. London, W. THE HERO OF THE " REVENGE." 1580 A.D. [84] GRENVILLE or GREYNVILE (Sir Richard). Elizabethan Admiral. Commanded the " Revenge " in the famous naval battle with the Spaniards off Flores in the Azores; died of his wounds. Previously commanded the seven ships which carried Raleigh's first colony to Virginia and made the first settlement there. Took part in the Armada fight. Autograph Letter Signed addressed "to my loving cosen John Blighe Esquire, this wh speed." 2 pp., 4tn. Circa I580. (SEE ILLUSTRATION, PLATE NO. XXII.). ~150 Entirely in the hand of the famous hero of the "Revenge," and probably unique. In the letter Grenville expresses his need of money due to him, possibly specially necessary towards the fitting out of an expedition. "Even at this instant am I broken whi. by one that shold have payed me a ~100, and can have no peny thereof towarde my payment, to my great greffe and disquiet, and therfore I must p'vide all the monies that possibly I maye at this time... and therefore I pra? you to lease the ~10 behind yo that I assined yo to paye to George Greynvile, that yf I cannot be otherwisse furnisshed I magy use that for the p'sent wh suche other as I can geat." Etc. * Although the letter comniences abruptly. it is quite perfect. There is one very slight repair in the text. THE REVENGE. A BALLAD OF THE FLEET. At Flores, in the Azores, Sir Richard Grenville lay, And a pinnace, like a flutter'd bird, came flying from far away: "Spanish ships of war at sea, We have sighted fifty-three!" And the stately Spanish men to their flagship bore him then, Where they laid him by the mast, old Sir Richard caught at last, And they praised him to his face with their courtly foreign grace: But he rose upon their decks, and he cried: " I have fought for Queen and Faith like a valiant man and true: I have only done my duty as a man is bound to do: With a joyful spirit I, Sir Richard Grenville, die," And he fell upon their decks, and he died.

A VERY RARE CONTEMPORARY VOLUME GIVING DETAILS OF FROBISIHER'S FAMOUS VOYAGE TO THE NORTHERN BAY AND TIIE STRAITS WHICHI NOW CARRY HUDSON'S NAME. HE GIVES A DESCRIPTION OP THE CUSTOMS AND 3MANNERS OF TItHS'E LANDS AND OF OTHER UNKNOWN AND MARVELLOUS THINGS. This is the first Latin edition of Frobislher's second voyage in 1577. It is not easily found and scarcely ever with the plate. The woodcut represents Frobisher i.n a canoe, throwing darts at wild fowl, and the Greenlanders in their costume. " Frobisher sailed from Harwicl on.31 May with a fleet of fifteen vessels, in three divisions, headed, by the Aid, Judith, and Thomas Allen, for the 'North-West parts,' and the fancied treasures of Meta Inoognita. Taking a new route, he sailed down the Channel and along the Southern coast of England and Ireland, and sighted Cape Clear on June 6. Hence he sailed north-west until the 20th, when he reached the south of Greenland, where he landed, and named it West England, giving the name Charing Cross to the last Cliff of which he had sight as he sailed past two days later. On 2 July the fleet sighted the islands off Meta Incognita., but could not proceed on account of the ice. After losing himself in the 'Mistaken Streight' (i.e., Hudson's) through no want of being warned by the more experienced Christopher Hall, master of the Aid, Frobisher anchored in the Countess of Warwick's Sound 31 July, where he found Fenton in the Judith, who arrived there ten days before him. Meanwhile Hall in the Thomas Allen was beating up in the open two or three of the other vessels which had lost their bearings in the storms and mist. After wasting nearly two months in finding the rendezvous, and repairing damagds there, the only results were the accidental discovery of a new strait by Frobisher, afterwards explored by Hludson, the further discovery of the upper part of Frobisher Bay by Best, and the loading of the soundest vessels with mineral that turned out to be worthless. The fleet sailed for England early in September, and arrived at various ports near the beginning of October. " Ons curious fact of geographical interest in this voyage of 1578 remains to be noted. The Emmanuel Buss of Bridgwater, as she came homeward, to the southeast of Friesland (i.e., Greenland) discovered an island of lat. 571-~ north, and sailed along the coast three days, ' the land seeming to be fruitful, full of woods, and a champaign country.' This island has been a source of perplexity to map-makers and navigators down to our day. It was doubtless an island, now submerged, a phenomenon by no means unknown in these regions, if we are to believe Ruysch, in his map of the 1507 Ptolemy." D.N.B.

Diego Columbus (the nephew of Luis Columbus, the grandson of Christopher) died in 1578, and with him the m-ale line became extinct, so starting one of the most famous lawsuits of History. There were se~veral claimnants- to the Estates and title~s, among them being Francisca Columbus, the sister of Diego; and Baltasar Columbus, of Cuccaro and Conzano in the Duchy of Monserrat, who claimed to he the descendant of Dominique Colombo, the father of Christopher. This question was settled in 1608, when the line of descent was made to pass through Don Nuno Grelves de Portugal, Duke of Veragua, who had mnarried Isabelle, the third daughter of Diego Columnbus. This document concerns the claims of Frailcisca and Baltasar Columbus. MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 63 1586 A.D. [91] MEXICO AND THE PHILIPPINES. GONSALES DE MENDOZA (P.

Though born in England he was a teacher of matheimatios and astrology at the University of Paris. Few mediaeval literary works have enjoyed such extensive credit as his " Opusculum Sphericurn," or " De Sphera,"' of which sixty to seventy editions, generally provided with extensive commentaries, have been published. The work is a manual of the principles of astronomy and cosmoraphy. The author here adopts the spherical form of the earth, and the existence of antipodes. At least he divides the surface of the earth into five zones. With slight modifications the map is inserted into almost all editions of Sacro Busto's "Sphera." During the 14th and 15th centuries it was probably the only accessible general map of the world to a number of students.

The most striking feature of his practical activity udts the creation of three Jesuit Provinces out of the hitherto existing single province of Peru. Hle was born in 1.550 at Villalpando, i,4 Old Ca-stile. He studied at Salamanca anid was admitted to the Order of the.Jesu its in 1573, and in 1581 hie went to Peru. After holding various offices at Juli, Quito, and Potosi, he was elected by the, Provincial Congregation of Limna to the office of Procurador a~nd proceeded to Rome and Madrid. A t Madrid he received the favour of the King ando 'f the Duke de Lernw. Taking advantage of his favourable reception, hie used his influence to secure reforms in American affairs; the abolition oj the depcree which forbade the planting of vines in America and ordered the destruction of those that had already been planted; the establishment of a College for the sans of Caciques in each Bishopric of the Indies; the foundation of a College at Salamanca for the education of sonas of American nob les; and also the creation of the Jesuit Provinces of Neu, Granada andl Paraguay. " Returning fromn Spain, he arrived at Lime in 16,04 accompanied by fifty Jesuits to be distributed among the three Provinces. To'rrex was sent to New Granada to organize the 'newly created Province. AIfter three years spent in New Granada, visiting various parts of the, country,_ he returned to Lima in 1607, and then uwent to the region. of time southeast to organize the province of Paraguay. This province was miade to embrace Chile besides Tucutnan and the region about the great rivers that flow into the Rio (le la Plato, but Chile soon acquired. a measure of independence as a TVic~-Province. lie continued his labour's as Provincial until 1618, when he retired to Buenos Aires.

The next 'tttemipt to open up, the, trade, with India was made, principally at the cost of Sir Robert Dudley, in 1596, when a fleet of three- vessels, (the Bear, the Bear'Whelp, and the Benja~min), und-er tthe commatnd of Captain Benjamin Wood, were fitted out for an expedition to the East, and. carried a letter tram Queen Elizabeth, to the Emperor of (China, "but not one of the co-ipany ever returned to give vii. account of the rest."'Whilst these attemipts were being made iw England to establish a direct trade with India, similar steps, were being taken by the Dutch, and inl 1594 a Company w:1Sformed in Holland, ca~led "The Company off Foreign M1erchants," by whom four sihips were fitted out at Amsterdam.

Diego Columbus, the -reat-granld~soi of Chri-stopher, died in 1578, and with him the male line -became extinct, thus beginning one of the most fanious lawsuits of History. Among the claimants were Pon ailatha-sar Columbus (-who claimned tihe estates as the direct descendant of )omninique Columbus, the father of Christopher), Francisca Columbus (who claiimied them as the, only sister of Diego Columbus), Maria CoLum~bus (Daughter of Louis Columbus, the eldest grandson of ChLristopher Columbus), Christoval Columbus (Natural son of Louis Columibus), Dofia Juana de Toledo (grand(laughter of Christopher Columbus), Dofia. Maria de Cardova (Great grand-daughter of Chiristopher), and Don Nuimo (1'elves de Portugual (grandson of Isabel. Columbuis, the thirdt grand-daughter o~f Christopher). This question was settled in 1608, Don Nuflo Gelves becoming the heir. Although D~ofta Juana de Toledo and Dofia Maria do Ca~rdova. had Prior rights to the tidles, they had no living descendants. The claims of all thiese other litigants are discussed in full, and compared withi thiose of Dofia Francisca..

This is the "Copy of a ictler sent by the King of T'ernate to King Jani~es I. of England, in reply to one written to him, by the saIid King James, the contents of which are given here, translated, woard for word, front Portuguese into Castilian, which letter was found in the Khing's Palace in, lernate the rery day the said Island and ]Fortress fell, and was sacked, and the original of which letter came into the rossession of Don Pedro Bravo de Acuila, Captain G'eneral of the &aid Expedition, and which King, wvith some, of his wives and cac~aliers of his kin gdoin, tw.s taken to the Philippines, and hteldj captive, ait his Ma(jesty's cost, in a Castle in the City of Mtanilla, under guard &- a comp any of Spanisht Infantry." (Translation of the title). This l-otter froai -Sultan S'aydanpor, King of the. Molucoas-, Ainbovna5 and the surrounding islands,, is, in answer to one from Jamies. I., requesting tiliatt the English be allowed to trade witlh spices in the M —olucca Islands. and tha~t they might ha-ve a "ation. in 'Ternate. The,S'ul~tan snys, thwat, althoughi this permission Oto trade had been given by hie, father many years bEfore to the" "Capitan, General " Francis Drake, on -condition that. lie should be aidled agisli~s mortal enemies the Portugue —e. and allthougth he had given.

The Dutchl, on the oither hand, had helped him with. all their forces against tihe Portuguiese, and hie had given themn his promise that only they ehould be allowed to es-ta~bliish a factory there. The Sultan complains of the conduct of General -henry Mliddleton. When Middleton arrived at Ternate w~ithiIhis fleet., lie told the, Sultan that he would b unable to give him any aid against the Portuguese, as England and Castile we-re then at peswe, hut he would cerltainly give no a-id whatever to the Portuguese. Howover, on arriving at Tidore, lie sup -plied the Portuguese withl powder `and various (other supplies, wedl knowing theme to he his- enemies., and nt a time when the Dutch fleA was coming to drive the Portuguiese righ1t out of his, possessions. However, t~he Sultan trusts that ffis~ Majessty will takle this letter in alt good part. -Hy. Middleton, Mlerchant and Sea, Captain (d. 1613), was knighted for thisi'voyage, and was described as " the th rice wlorthy general who laid, the true foundation of our long desired C"aibaya, trade" by Sir Dudley Dfigges in his Defence o& Trade, Ilie wars the -bearer of a letter froin James 1. to theorruler of the Moltucca Islands,, hy which it was holped that the, English might be able to trade for spices in those Parts. "'Middleton wvith one of his ships, the Dragon on March 22, 1605. arrived off T idore, where the Portuguese had a 'settlement, an'd where they were -supporting the natives in a war with their neighbours at Ternate, who were aided by the Dutch... Middleton's force was too insignificant to permit of his taking any part in the -vwarrel, which ended in the defeat of the Portuguese. The Dutch then 'threw every possible obstacle in the way of Engliish Trade, and he had to leave in July with an incomplete cargo." This letter, dated July 18: is evidently in part, rthe Sultan's excuse-s for this treatment.

PLATE XXII. 44 -z zc L: I-.~ MAGcUS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. PEDRO FERNANDEZ DE QUIROS. T'he voyage of Quiros was the first event in the story of Antarctic enterprise. Its object was the discovery of the Southern Continent and the annexation of the South Pole. Others of another nation were to follow up his idea, but he opened the glorious record of Antarctic discovery. Captain Cook made known the Southern Continent imagined by Quiros, and actually seen by Torres. Great communities were to arise in the Southern Continent, in Australia and New Zealand, but not of Spanish race. The achievements of the peoples of the Iberian peninsula were of vast importance to the world; but they came to an end with the voyage of Quiros. The mantle of discovery fell on other shoulders. 86 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, \W. Quiros (Pedro Fernandez de)-continued. Pedro Fernandez de Quiros was born at Evora, in Portugal, ill I565. In 1595 lhe accepted the post of chief pilot in the ship of Alvaro de Mendana, zwho had received a concession to colonize the Solomon Islands, which he had discovered thirty years before. The expedition culminated at the Island of Santa Cruz, a new discovery, with the slaugh/er of the old Camp-Master, ti/e deaths of Mendana, and his brother-in-law Don Lorenzo, the suc.:cession of the widow, Dona Isabel, to the command of the expedition, and the disastrous voyage to Manilla. Quiros brought a sinking ship, with rotten spars and rigging, safely over an unknown Sea from Santa Cruz to Manilla. It was during this voyage, and while gaining experience in the navigation of the Pacific Ocean and the treatment of natives, thae Quiros conceived his grand poject. He was a cartographer, and, in studying existing maps, he saw a great Southern continent extending across the ocean, from the Strait of Magellan to New Guinea. He thought that here was a discovery as famous as had been made by Columbus or Da Gamza. Another great continent extending to the South Pole to be added to the dominions of his sovereign, with millions of souls to be caved and. brought within the fold of the Church. He devoted his life to the realisation of this glorious dreamn with unswerving devotion, undaunted by difficulties or wearisonze delays to his dying day; literally killed by Councils and Committees; but succumblzng only with his last breath. He became a man with one idea. Q(uiros arrived at Madrid in I6o2. Tliithin a year he had obtained a royal order, addressed to the Viceroy of Peru, instructing thfa dignitary to fit out two ships at Callao, to enable Quiros to undertake an expedition for the discovery of the -lntarctic continent. Quiros sailed for Peru in the sumner of I603. He was shipwrecked near Curacoa, in the TWest Indies, and haa to pass some time at Caracas. Quiros arrived at Lima quite destitute, owing to the refusal of the royal officials on the route to give hinm any pecuniary assistance, although they had positive orders to do so. It was some days before he could get an audience of the Count of Monterey, who was then Viceroy of Peru. Eventually the Viceroy recognised the necessity for carrying out the royal orders. Vessels zere tardily bought and fitted out at Callao, for the expedilion of Quiros, in the last months of I605. There were two ships and a launch. Luis V aez de Torres, the second in conmmnand under Quiros, was a good sailor and pilot. But his most faithful friend was Luis de Belmonte Bermudez. Born at Seville in about 1585, this youth had gone out to seek his fortune, first in Mexico and then at Lima. Fired by the stories told him of the Araucanian war in the distant Chile, he composed a panegyric on the deeds of the Marquis of Canete, the first product of his muse. (See item No. 163 in this Catalogue.) MIAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street. London, W. Quiros (Pedro Fcrnandez de)-contilnued. Quiros (discovered Tounmaco, the principal Island of /th/at is noC' called the Duff group. Here he found a native chief from wh/om lie received such detailed information respecting the distance of islands, and, as was understood, even Continental lands to the southward, that the most sanguine hopes appeared to be approaching. rcalisation. The project of going to Santa Cruz was abandoned, and Quiros steered south, fully anticipating the consummation of his dreams of discovery. Island after island, all lofty and thickly inhabited, rose above the horizon; and at last he sighted such extensive coast-lines that hle believed the Southern Contiznent to be spread out before him. The Islands of the NewI Hebrides Group, overlapping each other to the south east, seemed to him to be continuous coast-lines, while to the sou/th-west was the land which he named Australia del Espiritu Santo. All appeared to his!i-'id imagination to be one continuous Conliinciall land. J1 ' vessels anchored in the Port of Vera Cruz, on the southern extreme of t/Le great Bay of St. Philip and St. James. He had found the largest Island of what Captain Cook named the New Hebrides Group. There was a ceremony of taking possession in tle Znames of the Church, of the Pope, and of the King. Quiros took possession of " All this Region of tIe South, as far as the Pole, whicli from this time shall be called Australia del Espiritu Santo." -After being at anchor in the Port of Vera Cruz, from the 3rd of May to the St/ June, I606, the little fleet railed with the object of completing the discovery of the Southern Continent. Then came the catastrophe. It came on to blow hard ard it was resolved to return to anchorage. Quiros determined to miake for Santa Cruz. It was resolved to cross the line and make for Acapulco. Quiros landed at Acapulco, was coldly received by the officials at Mexico, and reached Madrid on the qth of October, I607. He was quite destitute. He only had two maravedis, which he gave to a beggar. During the first eleven days, he had not money to buy ink or paper. He wrote his first lMemorial on the flyleaves of a pamphlet. He got the money for printing it by 'selling his clothes. To print the second, he sold his bedding; for the third, he pawned the royal banner under which he had taken possession of Espiritu Santo. After seventeen months of extreme penury, the King granted himZ 500 ducats. Quiros tells us that he sent in fifty nmemorials in fifty months. Of these, eight have been preserzed. Worn out by delays, he accepted the promise to give him conimnand of a new expedition; he put his trust in the honour of the new Viceroy of Peru, Don Francisco de Borja, with whom he proceeded on the voyage to Peru. He thought that at length his ideas were to be realised. Fortunately, he was saved from being undeceived by a timely death at Panama on his way out.

This is olne ot the last Memoorials sent by Quiros t.o tHe King of Spain in whichl hle,proposeis to use Peru as. tile stlarfing; point for the ('olonization of Australasia. For over ive, -years Quiros Ihad beeln sendling Memlori'al after 31e.morial, and Petition tafter 'Petition to the Kingl of Spain, whlich had for thle mllost part been totally ignored, or in answer to ^wlicll he had only received fut'ile promises. lit this memollriall he seeims to hllave cOmile nearly to the entl of hi,s patience and, judging from, some of the lanlguage usedr to the Kinr, on thle very verge of conlpletely los6in his teminper. lTe even salrcav,ti.cadlly suggests, that it the King would not raise the necessary funds ti1r this Australian Expedition in any othelr way, tlhalt the umoney Iimight be found by the peopll,e odf Malldrid selling their taps, candllesticks, braziers,. va.ses., and doourkn(cekers, and( that sludhli a. cause would even warrant the turning tile. very ptving stones of Madrid into mnoney. The Spanish authorities felt that any further expendit-ure on such voyages.ts thlis of Quirosl, was undesitrable,, nd that it wo-ould be far wi,ser to spend mioney in coalpleting the exploration of Pleru and Mexico. 'rhey looked, on Quiros a,z a. very disconteinted and ta.ngerous nia.nl, who malight, sell his knowledge and hservicees to the English. But, although they the(msAlves we-re unwilling to spend any mlonely or to go to any inhlther trouble for tlhe explorat~ion of Austrat. lasia. they we're determlined to keep the knowledge of s'ichl lands to themlselves, andl to prevent; any ot.her nation nmraking the discoveries. With this object in view. Philip III. issued an order for t!he confiscation of all theoe M[emorials, to whichi their great scarcity may be attributed. The Actual date of thisMemorial, is January 1613. The following is an account of it.s contents: The first pwRge consists of a. lkon, disquisition on vamriolus religious matters. Quircs then goees on to say bihat the, King had twice promised to send thim away on a.nother expedition. The second time, mu-ch to his saltisfaction, was to have been in a year's time, butl two yea.rs had already passed and he had not been sent. lHe implores thie King to say once and for all, yes or no, as to whether there is to be another expedition. For eighteen years he has had thlis object before his mind, lie has. continued faithful to the King's s,ervice and has not pa.ssed,a single day free from anxiety. For 62 months he has been in Madrid, and absolutely nothfingZ has been done in the matter. HIe appeals for 500,000 ducats for this Expedition, and salggessts two methods (Continued over.) to MAGGS BRO(S., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, Iondon, W. Quiros (Pedro Fernandez dc) —contiilued. by which the monery can bso riised wit-!lhout co-ting the King aI single - ]nma-ravcdli. The first suggestion is,, that in.ima there is muc(h copper that has tbeen brought from Chile, and al-o round about tlhe city t,here a.re numerous copper m'ines discovered by a certain Xerez, a native of the place. There is, a disused mint in Lima, with a river quite handy, and there is plenty of (tuiii silver in the le.ighbourhood. A second mint could easily be built if needed. Tllis oopper could be minted into 700,000 ducat's worth of four-maravedi pieces. )f this sum, 100,000 ducats woul(l (ovir ti( e cost of the coppler, anolhtller 1()00( 001 woll(l eo -ily cover all other expl)t>lenl-. and t;he remnaining' half-lmillion could be us.ed for the Expeditlon. The second suggestion is that; 2'0.0.0 or 125,000 duclats worth of old or new 4 maraiivedi piecees, could he collec,'ed togetlher in Mladrid, and su'reharg ed to Lour times the original valtue, and tilien shlipped to Lima. This suggestion would. lho eveil, mnan t'he (ost of tihle olriglna.l sum pluls about 20,000 ducats' freight to Linimi, whil.t thle first p ropobsal would ouly cost "a,ctrap of patper." This small coinage would.:o v-ery use4ful in Lima, for tlhe Indian and Negro wonman in lhawking MIIarket produce, etc.,They, moreover, would be sure to hoa.rd 'it, and so lose it. The expedition shlolld then go to Australlia wiith all speed, and the first silver, gold, and pealils to be sent, homle shoauld be used for the redemption of this coinage. AMoreover, thle citizens of Lima, would be only too plleased to. accept this coinage, both folr the (lolry otf (-od adi.If tile King, and also foxr their own sakes,, as wll as for the llonolr of being able to help in such a great, pious;, and nolble cause. Again, tfhey would be able to send their dowe-rless younger sons out to Australia. where they could marrv and set-le down, and they- would also derive much profit from these new lands. tHo'wever, if neither of these two sugges.tions should appeal to the King, coul(l the Franciscans and Capuchins go and beg alm;s for this purpose thl'rouglhout' Spain and the Indies? Why, such a Godly cause as this, would even warrant the:1people selling their taps, ca,ndiestickl, brazier,, vases, and door-knockeris, in orde.r to raist, tlhe funds. It would even warrant thhe very paving sitones of Madrid being turnetl into money. But why consider the'ie other mnetlhods, wlle,n a scrap of paper'" was a.ll that would be required? Towards the close of the Memorial he brealks, out into hitter words against the King. " Enough, Se(;ior, of this repressimi. of.my desires, enough of causing m7e s) 1inuc( sufftrinig, e)nouifh ald,1ore 1Than enmoul;h of these debts and sorrows incurredt in Your Mal:jestl's Seriice." le e!nds b- deela.ring, that the greatest service he can perform for thi,s inestimable cause, is to die in it, or for it.

It was probably compiled in his interest by the bookseller and publisher, Willicin Jansz l311aeu, froin onc or mere of the log-boolks of the voyage, and perhaps mainly froni the one hept by the conimissary Aris Claeszooel. The expedition was undertaken at the evpensc of sonic of the chief citizensi of Iloorn, principally at the instigation of fihe rich mercant Isaac Le Maiire and his Son Ja'COb be Maire, the latter of whom sailed a~s director of the enterprise-, while Sichouten ha,,d the command of the ships. The results of the voYage-o we-re very profitablte coommercially, and many important geographical discoveries were madlo; but before thle returnl to Holland young be Maire died at sea. Mu~ch jealousv and ill feeling was cau-sed by the different claims for the credit of the, enterprise, which undoubtedly belonged in great part. to the elder Le Maire. In the, ab-ove. journal it- is mnade. to appear that thje sucecess of the voyage was due to the skill1 and sagaceity of Schi'outen. This was one of the most. rem-arkable voyages ever unde~rtakeni, and centribute~h largely to the science of~ cartog"raphy, by the numnber of Tnw discoveries which mlark~ed the course of L. Maire, and Schouten, in their cmrcuminavigation of the gflobe. Magellan in tbe "' Victoria,' Drake in the " Pelican " and Schouten in thle "Endrach~t," formed three ef the imost striking figiires 'in geographical history. In this voyage Cape Ihorn (named after Se_~houtenls native town) was for thme first time rounded from the east. MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 99 1619 A.D.

FIRST EDITION. Folio, original calf. London, Printed by I. D. for John Jaggard, and are to be sold at his shop at the Hand and Starre in Fleete-streete, neere the Temple Gate, 1622. ~25 Sabin No. 30957, "A volume of much rarity." The, Author was a son of the famous Sir John Hawkins and was Admiral of New England in 1619. He narrates some particulars relative to the Indians, of Florida, the Carribean Islands and parts of Soutlh America, which interest us as data of their history and' mode of life. The account of the early part of the voyage, written by Hawkyns himself, is interesting from the intelligent dscriptions of sea life and of the places at which the ships touched. On 5 November they anchored between the Santa Anna Islands, to the North of Cape Frio There they put the sick on shore, and refreshed them with seafowl and such fruits as the islands afforded. Afterwards they watered at Isla Grande, to the West of Rio Janeiro: and on 18 December shaped their course for the Straits of Magellan. At Santa Anna they had emptied out and burnt the victualler; off the mouth of the River Plate the pinnace deserted and made Iher way home again. The Dainty thus came alone to the S.raits; passed through, not without danger; and on 19 April, 1594, anchored at the island of Mocha, where freslh provisions were procured. " I have not tasted better mutton anywhere," Hawkins noted. And so on to Valparaiso, where they plundered the town and ransomed, the ships in the bay; thence going north, making a few prizes, they anchored on 18 June in. the bay of San Matea, where on the 19th they were found by two large Spanish ships, well armed and commanded by Don Beltran de Castro, brother-in-law of' the vic2roy; who had fitted them out expressly to look for and capture or destroy these English pirates. The crew of the Dainty 1had baen reduced by deaths to about seventy-five; the (Spaniards are said to have numbered ten tines as many, which is probable enough. The Dainty was stoutly defended, and she might possibly have beaten off her assaidants and made good her escape, but for the extreme carelessness with which she had been prepared for action. Hawkyns had left all the supervision as well as the preparation to the gunner, in whom he had perfect confidence, but who, in the hour of need, proved ignorant and incapable. There were no car ridges, mudh of the ammunition had been spoiled by damp, few of the gSuns were clear when they were wanted, and some of them had been loaded with the powder on top of the shot. Hawkyn's! account of the action tells of such gross neglect and mismana.gement, as to give tise to a suspicion that, whateiver the gunner'ls faults, IFawkyns was not the "complete seaman and skilful commander that he would wish his readers to suppose. The fight lasted through three days, till Hlawkyns was arr'ied below severely wounded. The ship was then almost knocked to pieces, with fourteen shot under water, seven or eight feet of water in the hold, and the pumps smashed; many of the men killed, many more wounded, and the rest mad drunk.

Don Diego Car~ilho (le Mendozan y Pimentel., Marquais of Gelves, seventeenth Viceroy of 'Mexico, succeeded to his title in September, 1621; his nature was hard and he -was subject to fits of temper. From the beginning of his rule he decided to clear the roads of the highwaymen with which tihey were infested, life dishelieved everything that was told him about the 'inundations to whiolh the City off Mexico wais subject, and in order to show that the height of the Lagoons could prevent, the floods fromn taking p~lace, he, had the dykes of the Rio de Cua~ut~itlan broken through. The river immediately covered the lagoons and was the cause that 'in December, 1623, ait the time of the rains, lihe town was inundated. The quarrelis that he had with the Archbishop Juan Perez de la Serna caused the revolt under the leadership of Pedro de Verg-ara Gaviria, senior jiudge of the -Suprem-e Court of Alexico, to break out in the month of January. 1624, which obliged the Viceroy to seek refuge, in the Convent of San Francisco, which he only left to re-embark foir Spain at the end of the same -year.

"In this work the treachery and brutality of the conquerors in the treatment of the Indians is' palliated and defended.

This~, the first. detailed, account of Massachusetts gives a topographical account of the Maswachusettis Colony, as far as it then extended, and also a full deiscrilption of its Fauuna and Flora. The second part. treats " Of the Indians, their person, cloath-ings, diet, natures, customs, lawcs, nwriage's, worships, conjurations, warres, games, huntings, fishings, spore~s, language, death, and burials." An Indian vocabulary is placed at the end, a~nd takes precedence of the linguistic labours of Rogeir Wil'liams, Jolin Eliot, and others. In the compilation of this vocabulary Wood may lhave been ascisted by Roger Wiliams, who before he, lived at 8alem had made considerable progress with the Indian language. It is possible that he may also have had the cooperation orf John Elliot, who came to New England in 1631, the same year as Roger Williams. Tha following reference doubtless refers to Eliot; " One of the English Preachers in a speciall gqood inlent of doing good to their soules, had spent much time in attaining -to their Language, wherein he is so go-od, a proficient, that he can speak to their understanding, and they to his; much loving and respecting him for his love and coeunsefl. It i's hoped thait he may be an instrument of good amongst them." The map, which is dated in each FEdit~ion to correspond with its imprint, i's more correct and fuller in its details than any previous one. The writer spea~ks of having lived 'in New England for four years. He emr barked for England, August 15, 1633. The title of the map is dated to correspond with the imprint. Speaking af Wood as a writer, Professor Tyker says -of this book; " His style indeed, is that of a man of genuine literary culture, and has the tone and. flavour of the best Elizabethan prose-w-riters; almost nonte of the crabbedness of the sermonmakers and pamphleteers of his own day. There are dainty strokes -of beauty in, his sentences; a, forceful imaginative vigor; gayety; and good-hearted sarcasm; all going to make up a book. of.. genial desciriptions of nature such as Iuaak Walton must have delighted in, if perchance his placid eye ever fell upon it.".

" This very curious acc-ount of the foundation of churches and religious, houses in Peru, by the Augustinian Order, has but seldom occurred for sale." " Among the historiani of the, first part of the seventeenth century whoa wrote on the affairs of Peru, Antonio de, la Calancha occupies a place of special prominence. lie was born in 1.584 in Chuquisaca. Hiei father was a SpaVniard, his mother a Creole. At the age of fourteen he became a member of the Augustinian Order, in his native city. From the monastery, Calancha wvent to the Augustinian College of San Ildefonso in Lima. Throughout Ws~ life the monastery either in Lime or elsewhere, remained the principal centre of his activity fromn which, he went out almot dohito preach a~nd to cnfess Nunle. Calancha's principal and mo-st widely known work is the ' Cronica Moralizada del Orden de San Agustin en el Peru.' " This volume em braces the history of the Augustiniain Ord~r in South America during nearly a hundred years, following Th51; the founding of monasteries of the Order in Peru, Ecuador, New) Granada., and Chile; the succession of priorts, and the monks and nuns wh-Io wvere distinguished by their labours or their virtues. He deals Moreover with the topography and -national products of the country; with the antiquities and traditions of the Inca Empire: with. the events of the, conquest and the internal conflicts of the invaders. " The history of the Augustinians in Peru begins with the 'landing of twelve friars -at Call1do., near the end of May, 1551. A month later these friars were instailed in a house purchased with funds Irom the Royal Treasury. " The delusions of his age were naturally shared by Cala~ncha.

The First was held by God, the First Inquisitor, against the Apostasy of Adam, and Eve in Paradise (Most probable is the opinion of those -who would seek to place the site of Paradise in America). Os Sunday," 3 days after the Creation of Man, Mhe Second was held by you (the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition of Peru) on the 23rd of Januar-y, 103 years after the discovery of Peru, ecx." The author states that Vespuccius named, "1Hatnerica"11 in honour of the Virgin Mary " Hec Maria"1 ("1 This is due to Mary.") " The Inquisition woes established in Peru, on, January 9, 1570, when Don Diego de Espinos'a was Inquisitor-C-eneral. A ltogether 34 Autos da Fe were held at Lima, from. 1573 to July 17, 1806, after which the Inquisition ceased. its activity. It appears that 131 Jews were condemned during this period, 24 of whom were burned at the stake. The most impcn-lant. Au-to da Fe, frcnn the Jewish standpoint, was that of January 23, 1639, on which occasion no less than 63 Jews were oem~bemned, ten of them to death by f ire, among the latter, was Manuel Bautista Perez, reported to have been the richest man in Peru at the time, a sum equivalent to no Wds than ~200,000 failing into the coffers of the, Inquisition throuigh his death The most distin gushed. victim of the Inquisition was Francisco, Maldonado de Silva., surgeon,' poet, and philosophier (barn in 1592), who was seized at Conpepcicm, Chi-le, April 29, 1627, on information which was given by his own sister. He remained in the dungeons of the Inquisition for nearly twelve years-, during which ti-me his constancy to his faith was conspicuous; while in prison he even converted two CathoLics to Judaism. lie was executedl at Lima, January 23rd, 1639.f' After the whollesale slaughter of 1639 a respite, in consideration of the enim of 200,000 ducats paid to the goovernor, Con-do de Chiachont, was given to th~e 6,000 Jews whio are said to have remained in Peru at that time.

Title reads (in translation): —" True account of the Peace which the Marquis of Baides, the Governor of Chili, has made with the rebellious Araucano Indians. Drawn up from his reports, and letters, and from the Jesuit Fathers who accompanied the royal expedition, which had to be made to effect this Peace, during the past year 1641. Contaning the strange wonders tlht preceded,his peace. A volcano that burst out with flaming ashes, and sent large rocks flying through the air, heated the springs and cooked the fish in the rivers..4 monstrous beast.... Two armies in the air fighting agdinst each other, one led by a famous captain on a white horse, with a large sword in hand. Treating of the liberation of the Spanish captives and the solemnity and ceremonies with which the, enemy concluded the Peace, and other things of interest and profit." " Alonso de Ovalle became more widely known than most of the early Colonial historians, partly from the fact that his ' history of Chile' was one of the first Chilean books of which translations were published iA Europe. " The gentleness and docility of Alonso, his inclination to religious reflection and his wealth naturally suggested to his Jesuit instructors the desirability of attracting him to enter the Order. The necessary steps for his initiation were hastily taken, and without the knowledge of his parents he took the vows and assumed the obligations of the Jesuits. When the father learnt of the son's act, he used every means to induce Alomno to withdraw, from the Order and to persuade the Provincial to surrender him, but all without result. The Jesuit authorities, to avoid, any attempt that might be made to rescue the novice, determined to send him to Cordoba, in, the Province of Tucuman. This project came to the knowledge of A lonruso's relatives, who proposed to kidnap him on the journey over the Andes. But the Jesuits and their charges completely eluded the armed men sent to the mountain pass to intercept them. "At Cordoba, Alonso continued his studies, and at, the end of hils novitiate he returned to Santiago. Soon after his arrival, in Chile he -was ordained!priest, and undertook the moral and religious instruction of the negroes, and on Sundays preached in the public square of the town. He also went as a missionary to the Indians in various parts of Chile, and had unrealized projects of more extensive work,, when the authorities of his order directed him to take up the duties of a professor of philosophy. Later he was appointed rector of the Seminario at Santiago. His reputation for learning and religious devotion increased, and when a few years later it became necessary to treat wth the general of the Society concerning questions relating to the vice-province of Chile, the members of the order in Chile resolved unanimously to send Alorto de Ovalle to Rome. He undertook the journey by way of Tima and Panama. At Lima he found that his reputationi as a preacher had preceded. him, and the people pressed to hear him. From Italy, OvaUle went to Madrid, where he was received by the monarch. Returning in 1650, he embarked for Chile by way of Paniama. At Piata, not meeting the ship h' expected to take him to Callao, he set out overland for Lima, over an almost tract. less region, with little preparation for meeting his need for food and water. He arrived in Lima suffering under a violent fever from which he died a few days later." (Adaptmed from Dr. Mose —Spanish Colonial Literature in South Amerioa.)

"Alonso de Ovalle became more widely known than most of the early Colonial historians, partly from the fact that his 'history of Chile' was, one of the first Chilean books of which iranslations were published in Europe. " The author writes as if addressing readers who were entirely ignorant of his subject. He treats extensively of the natural features of the country, the soil. the rivers, the lakes and the mountains. He presents statistics of agricultural products, of the output of the mines, of the plants, fishes and birds. The author's plan of his work is set forth in his preface where he announces the principal topics of the several books; ' The first and second books will show the natural state of the kingdom of Chile, both as to its climatei and. products; the third will describe the qualities of its first inhabitants; the fourth and fifth will describe the first entrance of the Spanards into it, and the conquest of it by them; the sixth will contain the various events of the war; the seventh will show the first means of peace attempted by Father Lewis de Valdivia; the last, the first means of planting the Christian faith and its propagation among the Indians.' " " Soon after his arrival in Chile, he was ordained priest, and entered with zeal upon the work of Ifis mnini.stryv. He undertook the moral and religious instruction of the negroes, and on Sundays preached in the public square of the town. He also went as a missionary to the Indianai in various parts of Chile, and had unrealized projects of more extensive work, when thei authorities of his order directed him to take up the duties of a professor of philosophy.

Dodonceus calls it so. It is a narcotic herb which has something injurious in it. The Indians call it Tobacco. Neander has written a book ' de Tabacologia.' At home I have a fine discussion on medical matters, which took place in 1626, in which I took part, and which concludes thus ' Therefore tobaccocapnia through the nostrils and mouth is not good for anyone. This smoke is injurious, and harmful to the brainr and vital organs, especially the lungs, heart and stomach. " Towards the end of his Euphormion, Barclay has written some very fine lines against this plant, and against tobaccocapnia which might also be called tobaccomania, because of the large number of madmen who amuse themselves with it. Mascardi, an Italian scholar, has written a Dissertation against this Tobacco; and Raphael Thorius has written a fine poem about it, printed in Holland. The poem is Latin, it was English., ' in order that he might turn his countrymen away from the use of that poisonous tobaccocapnia.'" 1651 A.D.

Reference is made that Don Fadrique de Toledo had driven out the people who had settled in St. Christopher or St. Kitts, in 1629. A Joint colony of English and French had settled in,St. Kitts in 1623-5, thus forming tthe earliest nucleus of Englilsh and French colonization in these regions. The colony had made exceptional progress, bur on Septemben 8-18, 1629, a Spanish Fleet of over 30 sail, under Fadrique de Toledo, nearly annihilated the settlement. Mention is made of the heretics (English, French, and Dutch) having also settled along tue Orinoco, tle northern part of the Island of Santo Domingo, in all the Windward Islands, Jamaica, the Kingdom of Virginia, the mainland of Mexico, the coast of Florida, and at districts called New France, New England, and New Holland, and at the old City of Florida, St. Helena (12 leagues up the coast from St. Augustin), without the cost of a single ounce of gun-powder, and mentioning the trading centres of the English in the Island of Dominica, of the Dutch at Curacao, and the French at Matalilon. The supplementary part contains a list of the various possessions of Holland, England, France and Denmark in the West Indies, and remarks that they all help to infest the seas with pirates, and smuggle goods into all the Ports held by His Majesty in America. Also again mentioning that for a distance of 500 leagues, along the coasts of Virginia, Tierrafirme, and Florida, there are Dutch, English, Swedish, Danish and French Settlements with good Ports, which are called New Holland, New Fiance, New England, New Swedeh, and New Denmark, also that the Dutch have settlements up the Amazon and the Orinoco rivers. 1666 A.D.

Early in 1666, whilst under the governorship of Don Estevan de Ocampo, it was recaptured by the famous buccaneers, Mansfield, and Hy. Morgan. A small force was left in charge, but in August 1666 the -new Spanish Governor of Costa Rica, Don Johna Perez de4 Guzman, equipped a considerable fleet, and re-took the Island. This relation is Don Estevan de Ocampo's dofdence, giving reasons why ho should be re-instated in the Governorship, and giving many interesting details or, the loss of the Island. Capt. Mtorgan was very anxious to keep this island, it being very conveniently situated for the pixate stronghold, so he sent to variou3 merchants in Virginia and New, England for supplies and help, but his designs were upset by the Spaniards retaking the place. However, on December 15, 1670, Morgan once more took the island, which he used as a base for his capture of Chagre Castle and sack of Panama City.

Charles V., however. refused to allow Don Louis Columbus, the grandson of Christopher, to assume this title of Vice-roy. The matter was taken to court, and after several years a colmpromise was arranged, by which he received instead the titles of Duque de Veragua and Marquis of Jamaica, with the possession of certain rents from Jamaica. The male line of the Columbus family becoming extinct, the titles passed to Don Nulio Gelves de Portugal, tihe member of a Spanish branch of the House of Braganza. In 1655 Jamaica was captured by the English, and the funds coming to the Marquis of Jamaica ceased. The heirs of Christopher Columbus claimed compensation for this loss, and after long solicitations, Pedro de Portugal, was, in 1671, granted an indemnity.

He learnt their language with facility, composed the above grammar and dictionary of their language, and had it printed while he was on a holiday in Madrid. Returning to the Missions he was poisoned by the Indians, and died in~ 1684. The Cumanagota language is spoken by the Indians who live on the borders of the Orenoco River (formerly called the Provinces of Cumana and New Andalusia, to-day Venezuela). They are also called Tamanaca Indians.

Amsterdam, Jaacob de Cordova, 5441 (I6bI). ~15 15s Paraphrase and commentary on the Pentateuch by the Hakam of the Spanish Jews of Amsterdam. A fine copy in a splendid binding of an unusual book. Isaac da Fonseca Aboab was born at Castrodaire, Portugal, in 1605. In fear of danger from the Inquisition, his father fled with his family to St. Jean de Luz, a small town on the Franco-Spanish frontier; here'he appears to have died, and his widow not yet feeling herself safe emigrated in 1612 with her son to Amsterdam, where relatives of her husband had altready settled. Here Isaac studied, and when twenty-one years of age he became Hakam of the community. When the three congregations of Amsterdam were united in 1639 Aboab was confirmed in his post; but his position cannot have been very, remunerative, for in 1642 he accepted a call to Pernambuco, Brazil, at that time in the hands of the Dutch. In 1649 war broke out between the Dutch and Portuguese, regarding the possession of Brazil, in which the latter were victorious. All the Jews were obliged to leave the country; Aboab returned to Amsterdam. Such was the esteem in which he was held, that he was reappointed Hakam. He was inclined to the Kabbala and gave the first impulse to the building of the great Synagogue in Amsterdam. Aboab was the first Jewish author in America.-(Jewish Encyclopaedia.) 1681 A.D.

An account of the successes in the 'Sbuth Sea, or Pacific Ocean, on tlhe despatch of the Royal Fleet of those Kingdoms, against the Pirates infesting those seas. In 1684 commissioners were sent from France to try and put a stop to tlhe buccaneers in the W. Indies, etc., so many of the freebooters seeing the determined attitude of the established authorities, decided to transfer their activities to the Pacific Coasts of America. In a few years they were a perpeltual nightmare to the Spaniards all along that coast. This, important narration gives accounts of tlhe appearance of the English and F'rnch pirates off Valdivia, Valparaiso, and other places, and says that they are threatening Panama. It tells of the sack of Compeaohe.by the Pirate Laurens and three vessels, and also mentions tfhe famous Capt. Morgan. It contains continual references to the pirate strongholds in the Galapagos Islands, Eastern Island, Isla Contadora, and the Islas de Rey, and mentions the help given to the pirates by tOhe Darien Indians. The two English vessels mentioned in this relation as appearing off Valdivia.after having come through the Straits of Ma,gellan were the " Bachelor's Delight," Captain Davis, and the " Cygnet," Captain Swan. These had met at the Island of La Plata and had agreed to keep company, and accordingly sailed to Payta, Guayaquil and Panama, taking several prizes during the voyage. They blockaded Panama for some weeks, being joined by other buccaneers, but the,Spanish treasure'fleet coming, after a distant cannonade, they withdrew to the Island of Quibo, the Spaniards being too heavily armed for their liking, and already having disposed of their treasure "It may be interesting here to note that Lionel Wafer, from whose journal an account of this voyage is derived, accompanied Captain Davis (appointed Admiral by the buccaneers during the blockade of Panama) in the capacity of surgeon; also that Dampier in Swat's vessel, the 'Cygnet,' occupied the post of pilot or quartermaster, 'a post analogous to that of navigating lieutenant or staff-commander in a man-of-war of the present day, and Ringrose, the author of the fourth book of Esquemeling's ' The Buccaneers of America,' that of supercargo and pilot on the same vessel." According to Lussan, each man's share of booty in these piracies amounted to 5,000 pieces of eight. An important narrative in the History of the West Indian and South American Pirates. 1686 A.D.

It brings the narrative dlown to 1562, and begins with an account of the natives and their customs, laws, and kingdoms for many years previous to the conquest. Not in Church Catalogue, or Salva. "In the last half of the seventeenth century an historian of considerable merit appeared in the person of Bishop Lucas Fernandez Piedrahita, born in Bogota, 6th March, 1624. Through his mother he held by birth a more or less distant relationship to a member of the family of the Incas in Peru. The literary ambition of youth manifested. itself in the writing of a number of dramas that are not known to exist. Piedrahita became the favourite preacher and through his influence with the President, harmony was established between the ecclesiastical and civil officials. ' In 1661 Piedrahita was called to Spain to defend himself before the Council of the Indies against charges preferred by Cornejo, the Visitador. His defence was so complete that the Council not only absolved him from fault, but also offered. him the office of Bishop of Santa Marta, and this appointment was immediately confirmed by the Pope. Fie remained six years in Spain., from 1663 to 1669, and during this period, he wrote his 'Hlistoria General del Nuevo Reyno de Granada.' 'In 1669 Piedrahita returned to America, and after his consecration entered upon the exercise of his functions as Bishop of Santa Marta. Here he displayed many of the virtues of the primitive Christian teacher,- visited and taught the Indians, distributed his income among the poor, and lived in poverty. His charitable gifts left him hardly means for decent clothing. In 1676 he was promoted to the see of Panama but before he left Santa Marta the town was taken by pirates, who seeing the meanness of the Bishop's dress, concluded that by his apparently miserly -habits, he must have large accumulations concealed. The pirates, therefore, took the Bishop and tortured him, in order to make him reveal the hiding place of his treasures; unsuccessful in this, they carried him off and brought him before the distinguished pirate Morgan, who received hinm with marked considerations gave him a pontificial robe, stolen at Panama, and caused him to be conducted to his -new diocese. "Here Piedrahita continued for twelve years the devoted life he had led in Santa Marta, and died at the age of sixty-four. " In respect to his style, Piedrahita represents a considerable advance over the prove writers of South America, who preceded him. He wrote clearly in what might not improperly be called modern Spanish." (Dr. Mosee-Spanish Colonial Literature in. South America). MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Con-duit Street, London, W. 18 i 8o 1688 A.D.

Cancheu, I4th October, I689. ~52 10s lTlis is an original manuscript sent by one of the famous Spanish missionaries, an Aragonese, from Cancheu in China. It contains news from the missions in the Orient, from India, Manjar, Siaii, China, Macao, Manila. The last paragraphs are entitled "Modo, como van, y vienen las Cartas a este Oriente," in which the Jesuit Father describes the manner, ways, and times, how letters are sent from the Orient to Europe, and from Europe to the Orient. " The advice boat leaves in December, of this year, viz., 1689, from Macao it takes three months to go to Goa, so that it arrives in that city in March. The letters are kept during the whole of the year 1690 in Goa. Thereafter they leave Goa in January, 1691, and arrive in Lisbon in September of the same year, and thence in a month or two they are received in Aragon. So,that letters which are written in China here in October, 1689, arrive in Aragon in October, 1691. From Aragon they answer in January or February, 1692; these letters arrive in March in Lisbon, in which month, or at the beginning of April the ship for India leaves and arrives in Goa, in the same year, 1692. The letter wait there till April, 1693 when they leave leave for Macao, and in three monihs, they arrive here. And so, the letters written in Spain, 1692, are received in Macao in August 1693, and: thence they are sent to the Fathers who are in China here. In this manner it is clearly seen that four years are necessary for an answer to be received to a letter, with the provision that in this calculation there may be some slight difference, more or less, depending on the state of the sea and winds. "This route via Portugal is very roundabout, but as experience has shown, the safest. "If only the Portuguese had missionaries in the Orient, letters would. come much more quickly. Quite fresh news is received, however, by way of Amsterdam, London and Brest; but, as it is necessary to have correspondents to send the letters on and there are difficulties in the way, this way is most difficult for us. I must not omit to mention the way via Manila, because although the letters are sometimes delayed othersl come so quickly, that neither via Goa nor via Batavia can they arrive any quicker. As an instance, in this very year 1689, we received the news of the election of our Very Rev. Father Gonzalez, via Portugal in August, but we had already had the news via Manila, in November of last year."

Manuscript Letter from the Commissioners of Trade to the Earl of Jersey, dated ixth January, I699/I700, referring to the treatment of the Jews at Jamaica, and advising "His Majesty '(William III., of England), to direct that the Governor of Jamaica may have a general order to use the Jews that are there gently (not disquieting them by vexations of any kind), and more particularly to take care (as desired by the Baron de Belmonte's Memoriall), that they be not obliged to be in Arms on their Sabaths or other Solemn Feasts, unless it be when an Enemy is in View." ~7 10s When England conquered.the Island of Jamaica in 1655, a considerable number of Jewish inhabitants was found there, known as " Portugals." Jews settled in Jamaica during the century preceding Cromwell's conquest. The proprietary rights of the family of Columbus to Jamaica were recognised in 1508 and 1538, and passed to the female Braganza line in 1576. The friendship which subsisted between Columbus and the Jews continued with his descendants, and as their proprietary rights excluded the Inquisition and prevented the inclusion of Jamaica in the Bishopric of Cuba, unavowed Jews were enabled to live in Jamaica in comparative safety, even during the Spanish period. The principal pilot, Captain Campoe Sabbatha, whom Penn and Venables relied upon in their attack upon Jamaica, seems to have been a Jew, and there is strong reason for believing that Cromwell considered Jews settled and to be settled in and about Jamaica as important factors in the establishment of his ambitious British Colonial Policy. The British in their method of dealing with the conquered residents were careful to distinguish between the Portuguese Jews and the Spanish 'inhabitants, with the result that the Jews at once began to establish and develop the commercial prosperity of the Island. The Dutch capitulation of Brazil augmented the Jewish settlement in Jamaica, which was increased by direct migration from England, beginning in 1663. In 1700 the Jews bore the bulk of the taxes of the Island, though the avowed Jewish population of that time is figured at only eighty. Efforts were early made to abolish the special taxes which were imposed on Jews in the Colony, which efforts, with the assistance of the Crown, finally succeeded. Attempts inspired by local mercantile jealousy, made during the reign of William III., to expel the Jews from the Island also met with a vigorous Royal check. In fact Jamaica led the way for all the present British possessions in the direction of abolishing Jewish disabilities.-(Jewish Encyclopaedia.) 1699 A.D. 1415] ARLET (Padre Stanislas).

Celebrated Philosopher. Wrote " An Essay concerning Human Understanding A most important Autograph Letter Signed " T. Locke," on the Darien scheme, and written to Edward Clarke. I page, 4to. Oates, Igth January, 1699. ~21 Written as a member of the new Council of Trade concerning the miscarriage of the Scots Colony at Darien. "When I read what I finde in the Enquiry into the causes of the miscarriage of the Scots Colony at Darien... & compare it with what was said to me before I came out of town, I cannot but have reason to think that the Order sent from the house of Lords to our board... had in the movers or promoters of it some regard to me in particular. I desire therefor to know by whom it was moved. I desire you also to have yr eye upon the business & watch it & also to acquaint the Gent in the corner with my apprehensions wch are not groundless, & I desire his care in the case. Pray let me heare from yu, or the Batchelor when there is ocasion." Etc. ** Letters of John Locke are of very great rarity, and this is also signed in full "J Locke," which 'is unusual, as he generally signed with his initials. He evidently had secret agents watching over his interests, hence his mysterious references to "The Gent. in the corner " and "The Batchelor." Note.-The Darien Project was a scheme entered upon at the close of the 17th Century by Paterson, the Scotch financier, for colonising the 'Isthmus of Panama and thereby diverting trade in the direction of Scotland. A large number of Scotch people went out, and much money was sunk in the enterprise, but owing to the deadliness of the climate, and other causes, the scheme failed entirely.

Hennepin lived for eleven years in North America and penetrated further into the then Unknown, Interior than anyone before him. He gives an account of the building of a New Fort on the River of the Illinois named by the Savages Chicago. In Le Clercq's Premier Etablissement de la Foy had appeared an account by Hennepin's colleague, Father Zenobe Membr4, giving an account of La Salle's expedition to the mouth of the Mis(sissippi, in which Membre took part. This account, owing to the rarity of Le Clercq's work, was little known at that time, and Hennepin in this work boldly appropriated it with such verbal changes as to make it appear to be a narrative drawn from his own journal of 1680, thus setting up a claim to having been the first discoverer of the mouth of the Mississippi. Other parts of his work, including accounts of Indian life, were also largely taken from Le Clercq. " While historians are agreed that the Hennepin books succeeding Louisiane abound in clumsy plagiarisms, and that the new claim of priority over La Salle was mendacious, there is not unanimous opinion as to who was responsible. Charlevoix, Kalm, Bancroft, and Parkman have all pronounced Hennepin to be a falsifier; and so at first did Shea. But later, Shea took opposite ground, and sought to show that an unscrupulous publisher made up the new edition out of such material as lay at hand, apparently without consulting the author.

His brother, Jarvis Lillingston, an officer of Gustavus Hamilton's (20th) foot, was made Major in Ffoulkes's, and died on the expedition. Colonel Ffoulkes also died on the expedition, and Luke Lillingston obtained the colonelcy. The expedition miscarried, and Lillingsiton's regiment was put on board the homeward-bound men-ofwar at Newfoundland and Boston to supply the place of seamen. The regiment, 670 strong, was broken at Plymouth by order of Lord Cutts, and reformed with six hundred men of the regiment and six hundred of Colt, Norcott, and Farrington (29th foot), in December, 1694, and embarked as a reinforcement for Jamaica in January, 1695. That island, still suffering from the effects of the Port Royal earthquake of 1692, had been harried by buccaneering attacks from the French settlement in Hispaniola (St. Domingo). A naval squadron, under Captain Robert Wilmot, with Lillingston's troops on board, acting in concert with the Spaniards, took and destroyed the French port of Porto Pa'ix, Hispaniola. Thereupon the English troops withdrew to Jamaica, and Governor William Beeston reported that Lillingston's regiment was so weak and sickly that he had to send them into the country for change of air. Lillingston went home to recruit, and made various claims on the Government.'

Nine Lengthy Letters written principally to the Earl of Sunderland, Secretary of State. In all some 22 pp., 4to and folio. Dated from Virginia between 1706 and 7c 9. Together, ~120 THIS SERIES OF NINE LONG LETTERS IS OF THE GREATEST POSSIBLE INTEREST CONNECTED WITH THE HISTORY OF THE COLONY OF VIRGINIA DURING THE REIGN OF QUEEN ANNE. They refer, amongst other important matters, to the depredations of the French Privateers off the Coast, and asking for a guard ship; the French and Spanish prisoners from Carolina; defence of the Colony; Indian affairs; trade, etc., etc. The following is a very short synopsis of the letters:(1.) LETTER SIGNED AND SUBSCRIBED. 2 pp., folio. 8th November, 1706. Concerning the danger to the Colony from the French and Spanish prisoners left in their charge, who if released and sent away, would return to plunder knowing the defenceless condition of the country. (2.) LETTER SIGNED AND SUBSCRIBED. 1 page, folio. 26th June, 1707. As to depredations by a French Privateer, and asking for the protection of a man-of-war. (3.) LETTER SIGNED AND SUBSCRIBED. 3 pp., folio. 21st March, 1708. " There is lately arrived here from the West Indies a person of good credit, who was last Fall at the Island of St. Thomas, and there (as being in a Neutral port) had opportunity of discoursing with several French privateers who cruis'd last summer on the Northern Coast of America, they told him they would certainly attack Virginia this Spring, and said they doubted not to find good Booty in Negros, plate and other goods; they used great endeavours to engage him to be their pilote into James River, York and Rappahannock, offering him a hundred pounds sterling in hand, besides a full share of what plunder they should gain, but he very honestly refused their proposals. This design of the French Privateers is also confirm'd by others, taken prisoners by them,. who heard the Captains discourse of the expectations they had of getting great Booty in this Country & how easy it might be had.. " Every man who reflects on the oppenness of our Rivers, the many con. venient landings in them & the Bay, which can neither be fortified nor otherwise defended by the sole strength of the inhabitants and how easy it is for the enemys privateers to land at any of those places & do mischief, and reimbark their men before any force can be drawn together from our scatter'd plantations, must conclude that there can be no security against such attempts, but by a naval force, and when that is wanting, cannot but have very melancholy apprehensions of what the enemy may do. when so prepared with pilots. well acquainted with all our rivers and inletts. "In order to allay the fears of the people and to provide as far as possible for the defence of the Country, I have by advice of the Council ordered the Militia to be in readiness, & distributed amongst them the arms & ammunition sent in by her Majesty, look outs are appointed for. discovering the enemys approach, and great guns planted in convenient place~s to alarm the Country upon their appearance." Etc. (4.) AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED. 2 pp., 4to. 26th March, 1708. Concerning the peaceful state of the Colony, the inhabitants, however, needing stores and ammunition; also as to fears from the Indians, and the French privateers. (5.) LETTER SIGNED AND SUBSCRIBED. 3 pp., folio. 24th June, 1708. Discussing a murder by some vagrant Indians of the Tuscaruro Nation; (Continued over.) 220 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. Virginia-continued. further as to the Government of South Carolina having seized goods which the Indian Traders of the Colony were carrying to the Western Indians; stating that part of the duty on Liquor and slaves had been used in building a house for the Governor; likewise discussing the low price of Tobacco; also as to the manufactures of Cotton, woollen and linen. (6.) LETTER SIGNED AND SUBSCRIBED. 3 pp., folio. 20 September, 1708. Stating that all trade and commerce with the Tuscaruro Indians had been discontinued, they not having delivered up those suspected of having committed a murder. Mentioning that "A nation of Indians called the Saponies who were formerly tributaries to this Government and removed westward about twenty or twenty five years agoe, have lately prayed the protection of this Government and land to be assigned them for a settlement which by advice of the Council I have granted them in consideration of their being one of those nations included in the articles of peace made with the Indians in 1677 their number is not considerable being only about 30 bowmen, but the character they have of being stout fellows and withall very friendly to our inhabitants makes me hope their settlement will be a kind of barrier against the Tuscaruros or any other Indians that might be suspected to annoy us on that side, since they'l be able to advise us of the motions soon enough to prevent both our & their danger." Also discussing (inter alia) the serious trouble in North Carolina chiefly occasioned by the Quakers there. (7.) LETTER SIGNED AND SUBSCRIBED. 2 pp., folio. 11 January, 1709. As to the wreck of H.M.S. " Garland" on a sand bank; pointing out the necessity of other Men of War being sent to keep off the enemy's privateers who were endangering the trade of the Colony. (8.) LETTER SIGNED AND SUBSCRIBED. 2 pp., folio. 10th March, 1709. At considerable length on the need of proper defence of the coast of the Colony, " the season of the year approaching when the enemny's privateers are most numerous on our Coast, and no man of war here for our protection." (9.) LETTER SIGNED AND SUBSCRIBED. 4 pp., folio. 8 October, 1709. " I had the honour, the 24th of June 1708 to inform your lordp. how unwarrantably. the Government of South Carolina had seized upon the effects of our Indian traders under pretence of tradeing within the bounds of their Charter since * which the Governors of the College of William & Mary who have a duty payable on all skins and furrs exported out of this Colony, being justly alarmed at the Government of Carolina's endeavouring to engross all that trade, presented a memorial to the Council: upon which yr. Lordp. will be pleased to observe in the Journal pag: 27. the reasons that are humbly offered for preventing those unneighbourly encroachments of the province of Carolina & how much more 'tis the interest of the crown and of all her Majestys Plantations that the Indian Trader should be free to all her Majestys subjects without distinction... " Yr. Lordp. will be pleased likewise to observe that it was not the European goods, but the skins and furrs purchased of the Indians that were seized, which kind of commodity I humbly conceive is not made seizable by any construction of that Act of Parliament. So that I doubt not yr. Lordp. will plainly perceive it was the private interest of engrossing that trade, more than any regard to law that inclined the Government of Carolina to this unusual treatment of our traders. " I had lately the honour to receive her Majestys additional instruction for the future granting of land inr this Colony, wherebyl every Patentee is required in three years after his grant to tend and improve three acres of land, part of every fifty of the land granted him: but upon adviseing with the Council thereon they are humbly of opinion that no man will ever take up land on that condition while there is land to be had on much easier termes in the neighbouring Governments."

The Governor and Council in this Address attribute the cause of all the unrest in New Jersey at the period entirely to the turbulent and disloyal principles of Lewis Morris and Samuel Jennings, two men notoriously "known to be uneasy under all Government, men never known to be consistant with themselves, men to whom all the factions and confusions in the Government of New Jersey and Pennsylvania for many years are wholy owing, men that never have had the confidence to declare in open Council that Your Majesty's Instructions to your Governours in these Provinces shall not oblige or bind them, and this is done by them, as we have all the reason in the world to believe, to incourage not only this Government, but also thel rest of yr. Majtys. Governments in America, to throw off yr. Majties. Royall Perogative, and consequently to involve all your Dominions in this part of the World, and the honest, good and well meaning people in them in confusion, hoping thereby to obtain their wicked purposes." 1707 A.D.

Lengthy Letter signed whilst Colonial Go,,ernor, to Lord Sunderland, Secretary of State. 3 pp., large folio. New York, 2gth i\ovember, I707. ~36 A very long and remarkable letter in relation to the turbulent affairs in New Jersey, and the reluctance of the Assembly to vote any revenue to the Crown, laying the blame chiefly on the Quakers, whom he had, by order of Queen Anne, been obliged to admit into the Asaembly. Also announcing the death of the governor of Connecticut, Colonel Winthrop. "....Mr. Lewzs Morris and the speaker one Samuell Jennings, who is a Quaker, had been very busy with severall of the other members to prevail with them not to grant any Revenue to the Queen, the efects of which your Lordshippe will best perceive by their votes of the 27th of 8 ber.... Your Lordshippe will perceive by their vote that they are resolved not to raise any money till the Gouvernor consents to redresse the grievances of the Country, and in that case they will raise fifteen hundred pounds for the support of the Gouvernment for one year, what the grievances are which they complain of, you will best see by a printed paper which I take the liberty to enclose to your Lordshippe, which contains a remonstrance the Assembly though fit to present me with at Burlington, the first Sessions of this Assembly, and my answer to their Remonstrance.... If I knew of any grievance the country laboured under that were in my power to redresse, I would most certainly doe it, but I protest I don't know of any but that of faction, and private annimosity, which are not in my power to cure; the Gouvernment of that Province, was soe long under a proprietary Gouvernment, and a Gouvernor, who though an honest Gentleman, yet had not the approbation of the Crowne, which the people knowing would not yield any obedience to him, but opposed him in all things more or lesse, soe that for two or three years before the surrender to the Queen, there were noe Courts of Judicature held in East Jersey at all, soe that it is very difficult to bring those people who have lived soe long in licentiousnesse to be regular, nothing will doe it but a due execution of the law. I must observe to your Lordshippe that the Quakers are numerous in West Jersey, and during the Proprietary Gouvernment ruled all that Division when it was a seperatd Province, and the Acts of Assembly that were made in those days, were calculated for their purpose, now they see the laws they make must be suitable to the Lawsi of England, and that is one of the things which makes them angry because they cannot have every thing ordered as they please, and indeed I must say, that is long as the Queen is pleased to allow the Quakers to be chosen into the Assembly, I am of opinion noe revenue will be setled, noe Act will be passed for setling and regulating the Militia, nor indeed any other good Act passed."

Both she and his first wife proved most estimable helpmeets to Penn; and in her letter herein to the Earl of Sunderland Hannah spiritedly defends her husband, who was lying ill, against untrue allegations, and attempts at imposition { I ought before this to have returned my hearty thanks for thy great favours done us by thIselfe, & to the Duke & Duchess of Marlbrough... being by it encouraged to hope for a satisfactory conclusion of this our long depending affair, which will be an ease to my over burthened mind that by my Husbands continued Ilness meets with fresh troubles dayly.

I am really ashamed to ask a second favour as soon upord the first, nor should ye present loss induce me to it but to have my, husband's reputation stain'd now when he is not able to vindicate himselfe, is a moving argument."

In the preface the author says that at first sight this work might appear useless in view of the fact that " another catechism in the same language had been published a few years before," but he demonstrates that there is a great deal of difference between the language of the Kariri Indians of the Rio San Francisco or Dzubucua Indians, of which he treats, and that of the Kariri-Kippea, for whose benefit the other catechism had been published. The Portuguese and Kariri are printed facing one another. The author was a French Capuchin missionary born at Nantes. Ludewig calls these the Sabuja Indians and states that they live in the Province of Bahia, near Cooheira and now inhabit the village of Caranquejo and Villa de Pedro Branca.

In their letter, the Indians express great satisfaction of their reception "both from Our Great Queen and Her Ministry," and! thank Lord Sunderland for " forwarding what hath been promised to us in behalfe of the Five Nations (viz.:) that the Fort may be built and that the men designed to remaine their may be commanded by Officers who can speak our Lingua. In our opinion none would be so proper for one thereof as Capt. Abraham Schuyler." The Schuylers in their accompanying letter inform Lord Sunderland of their knowledge of the Indian language, and ask for the command of the Indian Fort. * ** The Indian Kings were brought to England by Col. Nicholson, late Governor of Maryland in 1710, and on April 19 were received in audience by Queen Anne. An account of their visit and their speech to the Queen is printed in a pamphlet published in London the same year, entitled " The four Kings of Canada." The present letters were written just after their embarkation on their return to their native country. Lord Sunderland, to whom the letters are addressed, was Secretary of State. 1710 A.D.

" Yours was very acceptable to me because it assur'd me that I had once the honor of your favour, and being conscious to myself of nothing that may have forfeited it I am well assur'd of its continuation. Captain Gordon, it is true, cruized at that time by my order which I doubt not you have seen, so that my share in that matter in dispute is only this, whether I by my Patent am impower'd to give any such order to' the ships of warr under my directions, which the Patent and statutes must determine. If Captain Gordon has in anything overdone he is best able to answer it. It is also true that I gave him that order upon the repeated instances of Her Matys' Surveyor General at Philadelphia, who has been some time in Engld. and I hope has satisfied you as to this' part. "Captain Gordon did leave in this port that ship and sloop. The Lords of Trade write that they have that matter under their consideration, so that you must be persuaded that it is not safe for me to obey your Commands until they be seconded by that authority to which the matter is referr'd or Her Matys' orders.

"In this singular publication, which is a close translation of the Hebrew, Dr. Mather has not only disregarded the modern practice of breaking the lines, whether rhymed or not, but he has run out (to use a printer's phrase) the whole matter; so that while each Psalm looks exactly like prose, and may be read as such, it is, in fact, modulated so that it may be sung, as lyric verse. The learned Doctor says that in ' the twice seven versions ' which he has seen, the authors put in as large an Heap of poor things, which, are intirely their ou n,-meerly for the sake of preserving the Clink of the Rhyme; which after all is of small consequence unto a Generous Poem; and of none at all unto the melody of Singing.' " Mather tells us in his long introduction, which is one of the best specimens of his composition, and which contains a fine theory of the use of blank verse, that this is the first edition of the Psalms in that form. Many of the Psalms are arranged for long metre or short metre, as explained in the ' Admonition concerning the Tunes.' " One leaf repaired and part supplied in facsimile.

"Daniel Israel Lopez Laguna was born in Portugal about the middle of the seventeenth century of Marano parents, who subsequently settled in Southern France. He studied the humanities at a Spanish University. Persecuted and imprisoned by the Inquisition as a Marano, he languished for several years in captivity, finally succeeding in escaping. He then went to Jamaica, British West Indies, where he openly confessed Judaism. " At Jamaica Laguna completed the poetical work which he had begun in prison, a Spanish paraphrase of the Psalms. In tie introductory poem he relates his varied experiences, and in several of his versions of the Psalms he alludes to his sufferings in the dungeons of the Inquisition. With this work, the fruit of 23 years of labour, he went to London, where several of his relatives were then living. Here he found a patron in Mordecai Nunes Almeyda, who arranged to have the work printed. "Laguna subsequently returned to Jamaica and died at the age of seventy." -(Jewish Encyclopaedia). 1720 A.D.

A very interesting relation, containing an account of the troubles with the Caribees (Indians) and other tribes, and proposing the foundation of three new cities in Venezuela for the better safe-guarding the country, and for the easier propagation of Christianity among the natives. The second section of this relation gives a description of the sites where these three cities are to be founded. The first at a place called Mazaqua on the banks of the river Guarapiche towards the north. In the neighbourhood of this first city, and towards the north-west, are the plains of the Serrania de Puncere, where there are numerous Indian villages, which would then be free from the fear of attacks by the Caribees. As a safeguard to the Spaniards, towards the east, settlements of the Chaymas, Aruacas, Aruros, Farautes, and Guaraunos tribes could be made, which would also serve to protect the coast from Paria to the Gulf of Triste from the Pirates and other enemies. The second city was to be founded, eight leagues from the first, also on the river Guarapiche (probably the Guanipa), at the junctions of the Amana. This would safeguard the country up to the banks of the Orinoco. The third and last city was to be founded at the narrows of the Orinoco, two days from the Amana to the IS.S.W., and by means of it the frontiers of the Caribees could be subdued. This city could be easily fortified as it would be on slight rise. and within 70 leagues by water of the Island of Trinidad. This third city is undoubtedly Barrancas, and the other two probably now called Maturin and Aragua. The third section of the relation discusses seven points in which the foundation of these cities would prove of great value, among them being the greater facilities for the miesionaries, increased difficulty for other Europeans, especially the Dutch. to settle on the banks of the Orinoco, and the stopping of the inhuman slave r.ids of the Caribee Indians among the various other Indian tribes. The last section of this work discusses the means by which these cities can be established.

"This revised edition, edited by the famous Barcia, is more complete than and is preferable to the first, which was printed in 1613 at Madrid. "This is the most complete work on Mexico. Half of the first volume is devoted to the history of Mexico before its discovery by the Spaniards, and the whole of the second volume is consecrated to the religion, laws, habits, and customs of the Mexicans." Juan de Torquemada is called by Lucas Alaman the "Livy of New Spain." He studied in Mexico, where he joined the Franciscan Order. He was named Father Guardian of the Convent at Tlatelolco, and was elected Provincial of the Franciscans, in Mexico in 1614. He only published his Monarouia Indiana after having collected all he could find on the history of Mexico, and the customs, habits, laws, etc., of its inhabitants. This is an indispensable work for all who wish to study the ancient history of Mexico and its peoples, and nearly all writers of monographs have borrowed largely from this source. 1723 A.D.

On the title-pages are the engraved portraits of the most famous missionaries, generals, governors, and soldiers who served in America during its conquest and occupation, views of America, etc. This is the genuine best edition of the work, edited by the learned Barcia, which, although in preparation since 1725, did not appear till 1729. Another similar edition, in 4 vols., folio, with portraits, was brought out at Antwerp in 1728, one year previously, in haste, to forestall the work which Barcia had in hand, but of course it is an inferior production, disfigured with faults, and omitting the fourteen maps which are unavoidably necessary for the understanding of the description. It contains also so-called portraits of the Incas of Peru, which are merely copies of De Bry's fictitious engravings, while Barcia's edition gives the genuine designs which Herrera himself had used, after the native pictures. According to Perez Pastor (Imprenta en Madrid, Nos. 784 and 1334) the 14 engraved maps are in many cases the first of many of the American provinces described, and the 39 portraits of the conquistadores and other historical personages given on the title-pages are the most authentic that are known. More than half of the last volume is occupied by a remarkably full index (225 ff.), "Tabla general delas cosas notables y personas contenidas en la Descripcion de las Indias Occidentales, i en los 8 Decadas."

One of tte most interesting accounts of the Indies, their laws, privileges, retlgions, etc." " The fact that the Church was embodied in the state in the Spanish dependencies sometimes led ecclesiastics to discuss political questions, or governmental problems involving the Church. " It is to bishop Alonso de la Peiia Montenegro that we are indebted oar an important treatise of this character, presenting what may properly be called the constitutional position of the Church as a part of the colonial organization, as determined by decrees, rules, and regulations, particularly those affecting the doctrineros de Indios. We have here in great detail the provisions elaborated and approved by superior authority for fixing the duties of priests and missionaries In the exercise of their functions im America, as well as the obligations of all persons within the sphere of their ministerial influence. Although the reciprocal obligations here defined may not in all cases have been observed, still these provisions make clear the theory and expectation of the superior authorities with respect to the ecclesiastical part of the social organism. " The author describes the parish and the parish priest, discusses the manner of electing the doctrineros de Indios, or missionaries to the Indians, and shows the participation of the civil authority in ecclesiastical affairs by pointing out the fact that 'no Archbishop, bishop, prebend of any cathedral, doctrinero de Indios, or parish priest in a parish of Spaniards may be appointed without first having been presented by his Majesty, or persons empowered to represent him.' "In this treatise other subjects of vital importance were considered, such as the appointment of members, of the regular clergy to the position of missionary or parish priest; the mortal sin of accepting a mission without knowing the language of the Indians; instruction in Christian doctrine; questions concerning revenues and alms; preaching to the heathen and their conversion; the functions of the priests respecting the last wills, or testaments, of the Indians; the tribute, idolatry, witchcraft, and drunkenness of the Indians; projects for extending(the dominion of the Church; the relation of the Indians to mining and work in manufacturing establishments; provisions regarding discipline and the ritual; and the vast array of problems that had arisen in the process of organizing the church and adapting its ministrations to a people who had no share in thet heritage of.

Garcia's opinion, as opposed to the special theories of other writers, was that the American Indians drew their origin from various races of the old world, including Chinese and Tartars. But all his learning on this subject is of less value than the positive facts concerning the native tribes, which he drew partly from his own experiences in the New World', and partly from a MS. work by Juan de Vetanzos (one of the companions of Pizarro, and a man specially skilled in the native languages), which was in the possession of Garcia, and which has never been published.

(Madrid, I737.) ~10 108 * * * A very interesting relation, shewing the troubles between the Spanish authorities and the Jesuit Missionaries in Argentine and Paraguay. Refuting the old and sinister reports which Don Martin de Barua, formerly Provisional Governor of Paraguay, had brought up against the Jesuit Missionaries, and defending the Jesuit proceedings in the 30 Reductions or towns among the Guarani Indians in Paraguay and the Province of Buenos-Aires. The "Reductions" of the Jesuits were small towns in which they placed all the converts they made among the Indians; so practically forming Indian pre. serves, over which the Jesuits had absolute authority and control. Portuguese incursions compelled the Jesuits to repel force by force. So they trained these Indians as soldiers, and armed them with muskets. They now became a formidable weapon in the hands of the Jesuits in their disputes with the Spanish authorities. These 30 Guarani settlements contained nearly 150,000 Indians. Started in S. America, in 1610, they increased until 1767, when the Jesuit order was suppressed, the fabric then soon fell into ruin, and the Indians relapsed into their idolatry and savage habits. This social system established in Paraguay was the most effectual ever contrived for reclaiming the Indians from their savage mode of life. This memorial was reprinted in Charlevoix' "Histoire du Paraguay," and a very full account given of this dispute which finally led to the suppression of the Jesuits.

"Juan and Ulloa's Travels may be selected as the most entertaining and satisfactory work of its kind; they are the acknowledged source of much that has been published in other forms." " Ulloa's Voyage arose out of the desire of the French Govt. to send certain members of the Academy of Sciences to measure a degree in the equinoctial countries of Peru. This request was not only accorded in the most courteous manner, but the King of Spain conceived the idea of sharing the honour of a scheme devoted to the advancement of knowledge, and sent two of the most scientific officers of the Spanish navy to accompany the expedition. The party carried on a series of operations of unexampled difficulty, and encountered hardships and sufferings which demanded the strength of the strongest cdnstitutions and the energy of minds stimulated by a love of science.

In Mlarch, 1741, Admiral Vernon, with a large fleet, and an army of 9,000 men under the command of Brigadier-General Wentworth, arrived off Carthageno. The divided command, the incompetence an4 self-conceit of Wentworth, and the natural antipathy between the two characters caused delays which proved fatal. The forts guarding the entrance to the harbour were reduced, and the fleet cut the boom bloc~king the Boca-Chica, and passed into the harbour. Wentworth delayed his attack on the forts dominating the City for four days, so giving the Spaniards time to recover. When he did assault, hisi attack was beaten off with heavy loss. The wet season set in, and of the force of 6,600 who had landed more than half were dead or dying. On April 17, the miserable remnant re-embarked, and the fleet returned to Port Royal.

Father Gumilla was sent at an early age to the American missions. While acting as a missionary he studied the history of the countries which he was evangelising. As Superior of the missions of the Orinoco he visited the banks of this great river as far as the obstacles allowed which he met at every step. In 1738 he became director of the College of Carthagena, but left in the same year for Spain.

"Although the Jesuits in Paraguay succeeded in establishing a kind of imperium in imperio, and were allowed to dull the natives to( the use of arms, they never held rule in the government of Paraguay; indeed they had nearly as often to defend themselves from the hostility of the governor and bishop at Asuncion as from the actual invasions of the Portuguese, etc. It was only by the powerful assistance of Zabala, governor of Buenos Aires, that the anti-Jesuit and quasi-national party which had been formed under Antequera, was crushed in 1735." However, a few years later, Ferdinand VI. of Spain ceded a number of the Jesuit " reductions" to the Portuguese, the Jesuits revolted but were defeated by the combined forces of Spain and Portugal, and were finally expelled the country in 1767.

That the Reduction of Canada would prove in the End the least expensive method for maintaining even the present English possessions in North America, as well as the most effectual way to Secure 'em forever to the Crown of Great Britain; For when the French are driven off the Northern part of this Continent, the numerous Tribes of Indians there now in their interests and which thro their Instigation are continually harrassing and destroying the English settlements in time of a War with France, would of course be entirely dependent upon the English, and a Prodigious Expense thereby sav'd; which the Colonies are now at in guarding their Frontier Settlements against 'em; and a much less Force would be requisite to be maintain'd by the Crown for Securing the Northern part of this Continent, Cape Breton, and Newfoundland against the Invasion of the French, when they have no footing upon it,. than is now necessary, for the protection of Cape Breton, Newfoundland, Novia Scotia, New York, &c: against them, whilst Canada is in their possession with so many Indians at their command, and it seems clear that when the Northern part of this Continent shall be in the sole possession of the English, and so well peopled with them as it is at present, the French could form no attempt against any part of it, with a probable;prospect of recovering any footing there again.....As to the necessity of at least securing Nova Scotia, if the Reduction of Canada should not be effected, I would observe, Sir, that the loss of it to the French would involve all His Majesty's Northern Colonies, especially the four Governments of New England, in great confusion, and go far towards turning the Scale of power here in favour of the French, that whilst His Majesty holds possession of Nova Scotia which may be justly deem'd when it shall be madd more defensible a safe barrier to all His colonies upon this Continent, he will have it in his vower to make himself Master of Canada, and consequently of the whole continent."

The work excited much comment at lhs timeo of its publication.

The w-ork seems to have. become scares as, early as 1785, for in January of that yqar Mr. Jefferson, writing to Francis Hopkin~on, observes:-" 'Marnr, many years ago,' Cadwal~lader Colden -wrote a very small pamphile on the subjects of Attraction and Impulsion, a copy of which he sent to Monsieur de Buffon. He was so charmed with it that he put it into the hands of a friend to translate, who lost it. It has ever since weighed upon his mind, and he has made repeated trials to have it found in England. But in vain. He applied to me. I am in hopes if 'YOU write a line to the, booksellers of Philadelphia. to rummage their shops, that some of them will find it..

Pardon me, reverend Sir, if I am compelled to differ in this matter from you and others whom I hold in the greatest esteem. Experience. I may say, alas, only too dearly bought, has taught me that negro slaves are altogether necessary for cultivating the land of Georgia. These having been refused, how many English, how many Germans of that colony has the heat of summer killed in a small interval of time! How many thousands of pounds have been spent in vain? Is not this the Voice of God? " Ye people of Ebenezer accept the help of the negroes. Educate, teach, and baptize them and their children freely. In this way the prophecies, which are set forth in my Holy Scriptures con. cerning the conversion of the heathen, shall be partly fulfilled." 0 happy day! 0 never sufficiently to be desired time, when shall I see thee!

Historia de la Compafia de Jesus en la Provincia del Paraguay. FIRST EDITION. 2 vols., folio, calf. Madrid, I754-55. ~52 10s Sabin, No. 42599. Exceedingly rare and valuable work, which is based on first-class documents. In the short preface to Volume I., Father Lozano speaks at length of a history by Father Pastor (died in 1658) in 2 volumes, which has not been published and is lost, and which certainly formed the basis of the above work. "The most prolific as well as the most trustworthy of the Jesuit historians of Paraguay was the famous Pedro Lozano. It has been possible to fix definite dates to but few events of his life. Very good reasons, however, have been advanced to show that his boyhood was spent in Madrid, and that he carried on his early studies there. As a youth, he became a Jesuit, and arrived in America in the second decade of the eighteenth century. In the New World he resided habitually at Cordoba, in the Colegio Mdximo and at the hacienda Santa Catalina; but he visited Buenos Aires, the Pampas, and the Andes; he examined the archives at Santiago del Estero, Tucuman and Salta; and the amount and quality of his writings indicate that he could not have been much diverted from his literary activity. Neither the date nor the place of his death has been established beyond a question, but the evidence available points somewhat clearly to the year 1752. "Lozano's interest comprehended not merely the events in the history of his order, of which he was the official historian, but also the marvels of nature among which his life was cast, as well as the languages, the manners, the customs, and the religion of the natives. More than any of his predecessors he appreciated the importance of official documents, in the search for which he displayed remarkable zeal and energy. "Lozano's ' E 'storia de la Compaiia de Jesus en la Provincia del Paraguay' was published in Madrid in 1754. It consists of two folio volumes, yet it covers only the first twenty-eight years of the province, and4 ends with 1614. Padre Pablo Pastells refers to the reliability of its information, the justicel of its criticisms and the character of demonstration given to its statements, and affirms that for these qualities Lozano stands above all others who have written on the history of Paraguay."

Beristain, Vol. II., p. 184, attributes the authorship to Father Juan Francisco Lopez, but on page 364 of the same volume Beristain ascribes the paternity of the work to Father Jose Ortega, and refers to chapter 25 of the first book in confirmation thereof. "This book is a history of the missions in Nayarit, or Grand Nayar and Pimeria Alta. Father Jose Ortega was born in thd city of Tlaxcala on 15th April, 1700, and irm 1717 he entered the Company of Jesus in Tepozotlan. After finishing his studies as a novice, he was sent to the. Missions of Nayarit, where he worked for 30 years."

" I am fully persuaded from the informations which I have received that a principal reason of the Indians sueing for peace at this time is from their want of ammunition & the stop which has been put to trade among them whereby they begin to feel that they cannot subsist without us nor defend themselves against our resentment. I am of opinion you cannot be too cautious in preventing their being supplied with ammunition or indeed with any necessaries until such time that Peace be made with them.... After what has passed they must not be allowed to trifle with us, as they have too often done, but give the most solid security of their faith & sincerity. "The treacherous & cruel behaviour of the Indians of late has so irritated all ranks of people in the Colonies that if they do not prevent it by a sincere repentence they will soon feel the weight of a very severe resentment. I am at this time solicited to send out a number of Volunteers to chastise the Indians on the Susquehana who have lately made inroads on Pensylvania near our frontiers, but I would not consent to it while the Indians were treating with you."

"The Great Commoner." Opposed taxation of the American Colonies. A magnificent historical Autograph Letter Signed to Lord Sydney. 4 full pages, 4to. Hayes, 20th February. (1766.) ~72 A letter of perhaps unparalleled historical Interest from the pen of the famous Earl of Chatham, the great English opponent of the taxation of the American Colonies. In it, in vehement language, he criticises and opposes Lord North's " Conciliatory Plan" and the "Declaratory Act," the whole letter expressing his feelings that America should be left " absolute Mistress of her property, to grant or withhold freely." The following extract shows how valuable is this letter:".... as to the merits of the Conciliatory Plan to be offer'd by Lord North, I shall only say, that it is a puerile mockery, as to America, and will be spurn'd at there, and by all the true Friends of America here. How far this notable expedient of a minister, now at Bay, may serve to make the Huntsmen at St. Stephen's take the Change, and run after empty theories instead of realities, I can not say. Perhaps the hope is, that the Declaratory Act may embarrass some. However that may be, sure I am, that America will never consent, ad Internecionem to be taxed by the Parliament of England in such Proportion as they Judge proper; or in any way, that does not leave America absolute mistress of her Property; to grant or to withhold freely. If this plan of Lord North should prevail, I am determined to protest against it, in all its Stages. He can not believe it would be accepted by America, it is a poor aftergame to blunt the edge of general resentment, when the day of distress shall come, from the cruel odious, and infatuated measures now resolved; and to proceed under the thin colouring, of a pretended, Conciliatory Plan."

A lengthy Autograph Letter Signed to a Lord. 31 pp., 4to. Leicester Fields, 8th May, 1766. ~25 Of greatest interest, describing the arrival of a secret despatch from America announcing the Colony's defiance of England. He discusses the situation and Pitt's attitude thereon at great length. In the previous January Pitt had made his great speech denying the right of the mother country to tax the Colonies; this speech is alleged to have given birth to the revolution in America. "I am assur'd, that there arrived yesterday an Express from New York to the Board of Trade, which is kept Secret, and contains the most interesting Articles of Intelligence. I was told, that the general Assembly of the Provinces, when they first heard of Mr. Pitt's Declaration in their favour, were so much encouraged, that they pass'd the most extraordinary Votes and Resolutions, much beyond the Principles avow'd by that Gentleman. They voted that the Parliament of England had no right to impose any Taxes whatsoever; that they had no right to make any Laws for them withoir their Consent; that the Colonies have a Right to trade freely to any Part of the World when they found their Advantage; that they were determined to maintain there Principles to the last Drop of their blood; and that the whole iMilitia and Arms be carefully. inspected, in order to maintain the Colonies in a State of Defence against all Invaders. A; Gentleman of very good Sense told me these Circumstances, which he heard from a Person who had perus'd the letters in the board of Trade. If this Intelligence hold to the Extent here related, there will certainly be a considerable Revolution in the Ministry. Mr. Pitt will be s:ent for and received on his own Terms, as the only Person who has Authority sufficient to extricate us from so dangerous a Situation... "Mr. Pitt's Politics, in the End of the Sessions, appear to have been so remarkable and peculiar as during the whole Course of it.... The Meaning of this Conduct is commonly understood to be, that he wants to be Ministerl with full Power of modelling the Admin'istration as he pleases; Had he routed the Ministry entirely, the Grenvilles and the Duke of Bedford must have come in, Men whom he regards as the least obsequious and pliable in England. He therefore keeps aloof from all positive Engagements with them; he lets the Ministry see, that, if his Terms be not comply'd with, this' Union must overwhelm them, as every one sees visibly that they enjoy not the King's confidence or rather are exposed to his secret illwill; so that a Pretence is only wanted to turn them all out of office, and the first considerable Vote they lost wou'd serve to that Purpose. Mr. Pitt concluded, that these Considerations wou'd soon open the Door to him on his own Terms, and his Opinion appears very probable: But these Events in America, if true, as I believe they are, must quicken extremely the Operation of all those Causes. He seems to be the only Man, who can either bring the Americans to submit peacably by his Authority; or subdue them by his Vigour. It does not seem probable that the Repeal alone of the Stamp Act will suffice." 1766 A.D. [8411 THE REPEAL, or The Funeral of Miss Ame-Stamp. Political Cartoon.

At the same time he was under orders to fortify the strait so as to prevent the passage of explorers or pirates who might undertake to follow Drake. Other navigators had entered the Strait before Sarmiento-Magellan in 1520, Loaysa and Cano in 1526, Alcazava sn 1535, and Drake in 1578; but Sarmiento's account of his voyage virtually superseded all reports made by previous explorers. It, moreover, persuaded the King of Spain to fit out an extensive fleet for the purpose of transporting a considerable body of colonists, men with their families, to the inhospitable shores of the strait. Sarmiento was appointed to be the governor of the colony, but the command of the fleet was entrusted to the incompetent Diego Flores de Valdds, and his incompetence rather than the storms encountered caused the ruin of the enterprise."(Dr. Moses' "Spanish Colonial Literature in South America."). 1768 A.D.

Circa I775.. ~5 5s Written to Eden (afterwards 1st Baron Auckland) when he was a first Lord of the Board of Trade and Plantations. The letter is of great historical importance concerning propositions for a more conciliatory attitude by England towards America, just prior to the.outbreak of the Revolutionary war. "I am very well satisfied with the description of the Commis.sion as it stood originally in the speech; to shew, however, that I have thought of it, I have sent you the alterations I would make in it, which are not very material except where the Power of granting General Pardons is referred to Parlt... the more 1 consider the subject, and I have thought of it constantly since I saw you, the more convinced I am of the necessity of a Commission to hold out propositions to the Americans, and that the powers of that Commission must be as extensive as it is possible in the nature of our Government to make them. I would shut the door agt no possible proposition, even the idea of a representation from America, if their minds in any corner of the continent should take that bias, should not be excluded, the power of offering place, honours, money should be committed to them. These things cannot be expressed either under the great seal or in any act of gl., Legison., and therefore the more open & general the commission is, the more it resembles the full powers of a Minister, the more convenient I think it will be found in the execution. To giv'e credit to it I sh. think both the Great Seal and some Parly. recognition should be added. "I wish the time for talking about America were arrived, for I torment myself at present with thinking about it, and I am mortified every day with the indifference and crossness of other people. You have seen me often possessed with a very ardent zeal for some causes, but a patient and persevering zeal, which I find I must exercise, will be a new scene to you." 1775 A.D. [919] VIRGINIA.

Captain Paul Jones had recently caused consternation in Great Britain, so much so that she feared losing the command of the seas. "1 laid the matter before the Lords of the Admiralty. Mr. Stevens did not neglect to give an answer: but my absence hindered its communication. He told me that a force had been ordered from Newfoundland to the coast of Labrador: and he had no doubt but that it would arrive in time to prevent mischief, and that every precaution for the defence of the whole body of the fisheries had been taken which the state of our Naval force, and the New demands upon it, would admit. With regard to the protection of the ships when they should arrive in the European Seas, notice had been sent to his Majestie's ship cruising on the Coast of Portugal as well as to Gibraltar, to advise such as should be met at sea by the one, or should happen to put in at thet other, of their danger, and to desire them to remain in Gibraltar until a sufficient convoy should arrive, which convoy was intended and should be sent out as soon as possible.... I am extremely sorry that he was disappointed in his expectations of the ship to be dispatched from Newfoundland which did not arrive in time to prevent great mischief.

" The Northern Expedition I have much at heart, and therefore wished that the body proceeding by the way of Cherry Valey, might have been joined by a different Corps, Viz: Coll. Hartley's and a number of our Militia, taken either as Volunteers for the Expedition but subject to military command... The place of rendezvous at Wioming or if more convenient, the junction to be formed sltill higher on the Sasquehanah, at Tiahoga; thence to proceed by the most direct route to the Seneca Towns as the first mark, leaving all the inferior Tribes to be subdued by traverse marches, or by detachment on the return or at least their Villages & produce destroyed. For this great purpose together with the notice to be taken by some whites who have lately done us much injury, not less than three thousand men under a good commander ought to penetrate that country in order to do effectual service and prevent the necessity of any further effort on that quarter for the present season.... " Thots of this sort, as an entire stranger to the Country are the best I can form, but from yr. accounts the troops already sent from one Army, joined as they may be by the New York Militia they will probably make the Effort, without time for, or reference to any farther assistance, but would not ble worse for being joined by Coll. Hartley at least, provided they come near Wioming.... With respect to General Potter, I am of opinion he shou'd immediately be order'd to take the Command of the State Militia on the waters of the Sasquehanah, provided the numbers amount to six or seven hundred Men, or upward-at Least for some short tine even on the defensive, his situation, knowledge of the country, etc., appears to call for this..

"I am not surprised either at your having been offered a share in the Commission to the Colonies or at your acceptance of it, your knowledge of business and your thorough acquaintance with the origin, progress, and present state of the American troubles.... point you out as one of the fittest men government could have chosen. "You bost know whether the ground you stand upon is of a nature to bear the immense fabric to be raised, you are to restore peace and prosperity to'our disunited, to our falling Empire. The former eventis of English history seem all to verge to the present moment. All prior triumphs, the issue of all antecedent struggles, the glory of our past prosperity only tended to bring us to that crisis when we must either establish an Empire of greater extent, of greater importance than was ever united under the same dominion, or else be reduced within the narrow precincts of our weak and exhausted island to contemplate the fading ornaments of our short-lived superiority.... Some information there must bp of the inclination of the colonies to accept the terms you are to be charged with, and you cannot be sent upon the vague hopes of stumbling upon a peace with America.. " The principle upon which I. think you ought to treat is this-Unite with us, share freedom of trade, freedom of government be part of the same confederated Empire, contribute your proportion to the publick expense, be in every respect English....Europe will not long bear your absence in peace, and it is to be expected we shall be quarrelling on this side of the atlantic while you are composing matters on the other."

The truth is that the Resources of this Country tho' not destroyed are much strain'd & our embarrassments will become distresses if this Colony war continues. It certainly might have beeR concluded long ago by a proper Exertion of the Force, but it is become at least a Doubt whether it can soon be concluded by any Exertion of any Force that we are now able to send.

We have at the same time good Intelligence that any specific Proposition from hence, so express'd as to be generally obvious to common understandings, might in the present moment work Wonders.

".... We arriv'd here after a passage of 10 days and to our great surprise found Gen. Knyphausen with every soldier he could squeeze from N. York and its posts in Jersey. This Corps had begun marching de but en blanc at Washington who was reported to have no horses to withdraw his Artillery and Stores and not Troops sufficient to stand by them. The Militia were at the sarme time said to be sick of the business (as we have known them any time these 5 years) and Washington's Army so dissatisfied that they would desert and crumble down into our hands... "The Troops after proceeding to Connecticut Farms and some distance be. yond them found the reports so imprudently propagated absolutely false. In short my dear friend this bad move was forced upon poor Knyphausen by anonymous letters, by sanguine enthusiasts, and people who Ito terminate the matter are ever stimulating deep play. It was carried on in oter column leaving the Foe the choice of marching off, of fighting and then moving back, or lastly of standing his ground; it exposed the Troops in a march of a day to a loss of more men than Carolina cost us, and as we went to demolish an Army we could not get at, so we went to receive the submission of a Country we could not protect, and of course a country inimical.

" The letter I wrote to you I did not intend as a formal Report, it possibly was written incautiously.

"I beg you to lay me before the Commander in Chief, & to assure him that I should think myself unworthy of being entrusted with the defence of my Country, & his honour did I delay making a Report of any Post when I commanded being unequal in my opinion to the service he expected from it, until the hour of necessity. "I do not conceive I should own any risk in maintaining Richmond for several hours against the Rebell Army should they ever bring heavy Artillery; & my own Guns being properly an additional Force would make me indifferent whether there were or were not more troops on the Island, but I think it would be a risk to maintain it against real Troops with light Artillery commanded by an officer on whom the evident defects of this Post would at once obtrude themselves. In this case with my numbers I think the Post barely defensible, but still defensible. "Perhaps my meaning may become more explicit by giving you my ideas of the intended attempt. I think if it be made the enemy will bring Artillery. They will not attempt Richmond, but as they did heretofore masque it with a column, to attack this column was the idea, not the fear of my post being untenable....

Head Quarters, near York, October 27th, I78I. ~37 10s A most valuable and important historical war letter, written when Washington was in supreme command of the American troops, and immediately after the victory over the English under Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, which had taken place on the 19th of this same month, wherein Washington sets out his policy for the continuance of the war anid discusses the immediate necessity of recruiting the various regiments. ".... To recruit the Regiments, assigned as a quota of this state, to their full establishment, and put them on a respectable footing, is in my opinion, the first great object, which demands the attention of your Legislation. The Arguments which have formerly been so frequently urged to enforce the expediency of this measure, must I presume, have carried conviction with them-but unhappily for us; the situation of affairs, especially in the States which were the immediate seat of War, was so perplexed, and the embarrassments of Government were so numerous and great, that there could be hitherto but a partial compliance with the requisition of Congress onr this Subject.... "I will candidly confess to your Excellency, that my only apprehension) (which I wish may be groundless) is, lest the late important success, instead of exciting our exertions as zt ought to do, should produce such a relaxation in the prosecution of the War, as will prolong the calamities of it. While on the other hand, it appears to me to be our only sound policy (let that of the Enemy be what it willy to keep a well-appointed formidable Army in the field, as long as the War shall continue.

Discussing the sale of land and the possibility of his having made a bad bargain; speaking further of his want of money and the bad state of his health. He also at great length talks of his enthusiasm for liberty and patriotism, and in strong language condemns the American form of republican freedom. " I know not what is the cause my Dr. Friend, but of late I find myself much affected in my health-perhaps it is my state of rustication, perhaps the embarrassment of my private affairs, and perhaps in great measure the disagreeable aspect of public affairs-for, with submission; the prospect is not only disagreeable but hideous, at least to a man of my feelings and sanguine expectation. I have ever from the first time I read Plutarch, been an enthusyastick for liberty, and, to my cost I now find, for liberty in a republican garb-indeed it is natural to a young person whose chief companions are the Greek and Roman Historians and Orators to be dazzled with the splendid picture; but alas, I now find, this perfect kind of liberty could only be supported by qualities not possess'd by the individuals of the modern world. A public and patriotick spirit reigning in the breast of every individual superseding all private considerations. It was this spirit alone that carried several of the Graecian States and the Roman Republics triumphantly through so many ages-for as to the formal literal construction of their governments they were defective to absurdity. It was virtue alone that supported em. All writers agree that virtue must be the basis of republics and most of all -federal republic. Have the Americans this necessary virtue. On the contrary are they not on their setting out more corrupted than the oldest people in Europe; and it is no wonder, they are corrupted by the laws themselves...

A remarkably fine Autograph Letter signed to the Ist Viscount Sydney on the negotiations for Peace with America. 5 pages, 4to. I8th September, 1782. ~14 10s When those, who know the faculties and actual situation of this Country have judged Peace to be so necessary, as to offer the Independence of America in order to purchase it; the only question, what remained, seemed to be, how far wisdom could go on offering the price, without obtaining or securing the Purchaser. "In a general view of the matter, such as could be given at a meeting in Council, it seemed strange, if the Americans fairly wish'd.an accommodation upon that footing, and really thought it in their power to accede to it in any shape, which could be adopted here: it seemed strange, that they should boggle at accepting it as one term of the general Pacification; and it was natural to suspect a latent intention to gain that point, without meaning, or at least without hoping to advance further; and there was nothing in the character or conduct of the persons to be dealt with, to record such a suspicion. According it struck many, I believe all, more or 'less forcibly; but it was resolved notwithstanding to promise a declaration of Independence, whenever the King could be empowered to that effect, provided the Americans would solemnly declare themselves satisfied (so far as their interest in the negotiation was concerned) with the other terms proposed, having them still at liberty to pursue the war upon the common cause with their allies. This seemed to ensure such terms for the loyalists and other British interests, as would not render the Peace inadmissibly ignominiato, and might possibly have the effect of preventing the force of that Continent from being further engaged in the war, at least so heartibj."

Philadelphia, I7th June, I782. ~3 10s An important letter discussing the affairs of Congress; further on the American currency question; and concluding with an interesting reference to a naval fight between the English and French fleets in' the West Indies, when Admiral Rodney was victorious and captured the French flagship with Admiral Grasse-Tilly, and thereby frustrated the French designs on Jamaica. ".n... The Action between the French & English fleets in the West Indies has undoubtedly turned out to the disadvantage of the former. The French we believe have lost 7 or 8 capital ships among which is the Ville de Paris taken with the Admiral de Grass. The accounts are different as to the consequences; by some accounts we are informed that the French have since made a junction with the Spanish & thereby will be able to maintain such a superiority in the West Indies as to proceed in their designed operations, but by other accounts, that they are so disconserted by their severe blow, as totally to frustrate their design against Jamaica, &c. but on ye whole no 'accounts are as yet received from the French commander or any of that nation who were in the action."

Paris, I Ith November, I784. ~15 Written whilst Ambassador at Paris, this letter is of intense interest on European politics and their effect on America; also speaking in striking language as to the expediency of paying the debt of 20 millions due from America to France and as to British lies concerning same. "...'. The circumstances which have taken place between the Emperor and Dutch amount to a declaration of War. The Imperial minister has withdrawn from the Hague without taking leave and the troops of both parties are in motion.... The King of Prussia has shewn more evident symptoms of taking a part, he has patched up his little affairs with Dantzic and Holland, so as to be cleared from avocations. The Turk has procrastinated the settlement of his boundary with the Emperor, and in the meantime has been providing military stores, Introducing discipline into his troops and making every other preparation for war. "It seems then at present that Holland, France, Prussia, and the Pore' will be united against the imperial powers. I much question whether England will not remain neuter. With the powers engaged in the war, I am in hopes our treaties will be thereby facilitated, but probably not with England if she remains neuter. Everything we learn from that country indicates a great indisposition to treat. They are satisfied we must ask an equal treaty, and they had rather keep our trade and cabotage without giving anything for them. It is a nation so totally absorbed in self interest that nothing will force them to be just but rigorous retaliation. " Is it impossible to spur cur people up to the paiment of their whole debt to this country in one year. I mean the 20 millions with its interest; its effect here would be wonderful. Europe in general, influenced by the uninterrupted torrent of lies published against us in the British papers, believe we never intend to pay. The Dutch debt we are not at liberty to pay."

The fate of America has hung upon my mind as a grievous weight, anxiety, fear & hope have alternatively agitated me, but thanks to heaven you are emancipated & have shown the world that integrity & freedom united will succeed. There is now a land where the long hands of Tyrants cannot reach, and where the injured and oppressed may fly for refuge & be in peace. Had the reverse taken place what a wretch I would have been. In this country I would not have staid & where to have found a resting place knew not.

The best and most complete work on the Philippine Islands; it is highly important in reference to the Spanish possessions inl that country and to their Spanish-American territory." This invaluable work is the best and most extensive history of the Philippines that has yet been written; it is at tho same time the best chronicle of the Augus;tinian Monks, who settled in the Islands since their first discovery, as well as of their important missions in China and Japan. The work has served as the source for many modern writers on the same subject. The author, Father Juan de la Concepcion, died a year before his book began to be printed. Its publication was due to Father Joachim de la Virgen de Sopetran, Provincial of the Province of St. Nicholas. The author was born in Madrid on July 1, 1724, and after his education at home he went to the Philippine Islands, where he lectured in Arts and Theology. Ife became the Provincial Prior and the Chronicler of the Province, Synodal Examiner to the Archbishop of Manila, and Provisor of the Bishop of Nueva Segovia. He returnaed sick to the city of Manilla, where he died in 1787.

"The accounts of souldiers in Virginia and North Carolina having been examined by the proper officer of government, the balance due to each individual ascertained, and a list of these balances made out, this list became known to certain persons before the souldiers themselves had information of it, and these persons, by unfair means, as it is said, and for very inadequate considerations obtained assignments from many of the soldiers of whatever sum should be due to them from' the public without specifying the amount. The legislature to defeat this fraud, passed resolutions on the 21st of May, 1790, directing that, where paiement had not been made to the original claimant in person, or his representatives, it shall be made to him or them personally, or to their attorney, producing a power for that purpose....

Book is of the greatest American historical interest; all the letters and other papers are of the first importance, and most of them have been carefully initialed or signed by Simcoe or Littlehales as being true copies, and in some instances the actual copy is in Simcoe's own hand and signed by him, also many bear an autograph note by him. As first Governor of Upper Canada, Simcoe's post was one of great difficulty, but he acquitted himself with distinction and gained the respect. and regard of the settlers and the Indians. He had the country accurately surveyed, and formed plans for peopling and improving it; boundary and other questions with the United States were most ably handled by him: and he especially laid himself out to beon good terms with the Indian tribes and to secure their friendship. The Letter Book commences with Simcoe's Circular Letter of M1th Jany., 1792, summoning his Legislative Council, and ends with a letter from Colonel A. McKee, of the Miami Rapids, dated 1i June, 1793, concerning the United States and a proposed conference with the Indians, viz.: the Shawnese, Delawares, Five Nations, and Seven Nations of Canada.

The Viceroy calls the attention of Valdes to the fact that special precautions should be taken in the Province of Louisiana cwing to the war with the French, because the greater part of the inhabitants are composed of French; also because its frontiers are bounded by the United American Colonies (U.S.A.), and because the Americans have recently made a settlement in the Port 9f Nachitoches. just by the Province of Texas, which is now recognising the new High Court which is independent of the government of New Spain. The official transcript of the Viceroy's letter to Count del Campo de Alange occupies 9 folio pages, and is marked secret (Reservado number 857).

"I told General Lee when he was here, and I wrote the same to Majr. George Lewis a week ago, that, as the embarrdsmt. has been occasioned by a mistake, I would receive other Land in Kentucky, which he said was of superior value, if it shd. be found to be equal in quantity, quality, situation and other advantages in lieu of the two tracts I hold on Green River, provided a purchase adjoining, which Mr. Lewis was to have made for me, should not have occasioned a fresh difficulty.

Colonel Don Sebastian Kindelan, Sergeant Major of the Infantry Regiment of Mexico, who had just returned from Florida. Clearly written manuscript in Spanish, dated 2Ist August, 1795, and certified and signed by the Government Secretary, Juan de Araoz, together with a covering letter signed by the same secretary, to Don Antonio Valdes.

[11851 INVASION de la Provincia de la Florida, por Cierto numero de gente vandida. De todo da cuenta el Comandante General de Marina en la Havana. (Se entero S. M.) Original Manuscript on 6 pages of paper, at the end of which the King of Spain has written " ent. S. M." (His Majesty has been acquainted with this, Madrid, 3rd November, I795.) (1795.) ~25 A document of the highest interest for the early history of Florida. The memorandum informs the King that the Governor of Havana received notice that between the River San Juan and Santa Martyr, a province of Florida, a number of bandits had established themselves under the leadership of Richard Lang, and Wm. Plowden, refugees from that province, and guilty of treason,, together with the American Abner Hammond, with other 62 vagabonds, and fifty French and some Americans. The governor thereupon summoned a meeting of the Commander-General of the Navy at Havana, Captain Don Jose del Rio and Don Sebastian Kindelan, Sergeant-Major of the Infantry Regiment of,Mexico, for their special knowledge of Florida, and they decided on the 1st August, 1795,, to do nothing before they received further news from the Governor of Florida. The following were the reasons which brought about their decision:1. That the number of the invaders and the want of artillery did not seem to endanger the safety of the Province. 2. That there were reasons to believe that this invasion would be nothing more than a raid in which the men would endeavour to avenge themselves on those who had offen'ded them, and would steal what they could in the way of reprisals. 3. That' if these people were to become masters of Spanish territory they would endeavour to take possession of the Island of Amelia, whose possession would give them a port capable of admitting frigates with thirty to forty cannon, where they could sell their prizes and arm privateers. As the Governor of Florida had been before them in establishing a fortified battery on the Northernmost point of that Island, with the help of the men of war it was probable that the French would not be able to take possession of the Port of Santa, Maria. 4. If however, against all expectations, the enemy had already taken possession of the Island of Amalia it would be necessary to send an important expedition with artillery to deal with the enemy.,This operation was impossibleat the beginning of the most critical season of the year, without a single port being open in all Florida for an average size vessel. After this meeting the Commandant deneral of the Navy at Havana. (24th August, 1795), reported that he had heard from the war vessels above mentioned that the Governor of Florida had ordered them to come to help him in the present invasion, and that in agreement with the Governor of that place he was about to send provisions in a vessel. *, ^ * -. ^ \-'.;..: A.2. - A 452 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W.

They took prisoners the commander, the captain and thirty men and the crew of the launch. On the 12th of the same month the battery and launch were re-captured after they had been abandoned by the enemy, who left precipitently on sighting the troops, leaving behind them arms, chairs, bridles and thirty or forty horses. The enemy retired to the Island of Amalia.

They complain of the British influence in all our Cities which extends through the medium of commerce to our Country, and is reflected back again from thence to the Councils of the United States. Many people now speak, and a few write openly in Favor 'f; the British form of government. The conduct of the French Convention under the Jacobin Administration has favoured this departure from Republicanism in our Country. "It is expected that Mr. Washington will retire next fall. If so, the Contest for his successor will lie between Mr. Adams and Mr. Jefferson. The former is devoted to Monarchy in all its forms and consequences. The latter is a pure Republican, enlightened at the same time in Chemistry, natural history & medicine. He is in a word, a Citizen of the World, and the friend of universal peace & happiness. How the contest will end I know not. Mr. Washington's friends will support Mr. Adams. His enemies (for enemies he has) will support Mr. Jefferson.

Autograph address on fly-leaf. I ~8 15s A letter of considerable importance entirely in the holograph of McKean. It concerns the discovery of a letter connected with armed associations of United Irishmen and others likely to disturb the tranquility of the State, also respecting the possibility of a French and Indian war. "The packet inclosed with it has been delivered to me by a worthy Justice of the Peace for the county of Bucks. It was found in the chest of one Swteey, an inhabitant of Upper Canada formerly of Bucks country, who had absconded on account of process against him for horse-stealing, he was a notorious offender in that way, as well as in robberies and burglaries in company with the Doats, during our revolutionary war. The chest of Sweezy was seized by the Sheriff by vertue of a foreign attachment and opened in the presence of a Magistrate and some other witnesses, and, the packet found in it. The curiosity of the Gentlemen was raised by seeing such a letter in possession of such a man, and suspecting it to be a forgery and for some villainous purpose of Sweezy they examined it and afterwards transmitted it to me. "As armed associations, United Irishmen, etc., in the opinion of the British Minister, Mr. Liston, were likely to disturb the peace 'and tranquility of this State, I have thought it advisable to send the packet to you.

Among the Presbyterians there may be a few of the clergy whose orthodoxy is suspicious; yet they are prevented from teaching anything grossly unsound by our public standards & discipline.

Relacion de los veritos y servicios del Capitan de Navio Don Franoisco Maurelle, natural de Cosm6, en Galicia. ' 4 pp, folio. Madrid, Privately Printed, I8Io. ~15 156 An account of the services of Don Francisco Antonio Maurelle, giving an account of the positions he held in the King of Spain's navy, the time he served therein, the names of the ships and their commanders, the dates of their departure and their arrival, and th)eir destination. The pages are devoted to an account of * ach journey, giving full dates and particulars of the navigation. He also gives an account of his fights, and mentions the fact that the importance of his services have caused them to be mentioned in the works of "Captain Kook." During the years 1775 to 1792 Maurelle made no less than six voyages, the destination of which was the exploration of California and neighbourhood. Maurelle was the pilot of the " Sonora " on the famous voyage to explore the coast of America, northward of California, under the command of Don Juan Francisco de la Bodega, who in his cockle-shell, thirty-six feet "over all," reached 58 degrees, discovered Bodega Bay, and anchored at Monterey on October 7. A deal of coast had been laid bare, but naught of the Russians had been found, save, by Perez, a bayonet and part of a sword in the, hands of Indians on Prince of Wale or Queen'Charlotte Island. In 1776, therefore, a third expedition to the north, with Heceta and Bodega y Quadra in command, was ordered by the King. It was to take place in 1777, and this for a specific reason. The rumour of 1773-that the English under Admiral Byng were about to seek California by way of the Pole-had proved false; but in March (1776) it had come to the knowledge of Spain that Captain James Cook was preparing with two ships to sail for -the South Sea and the Northwest Coast. That Anian, whether as an outlet to the bay of James, of Baffin, or of Hudson, was a myth, had been proved to the satisfaction of Bucarely by the exploration of 1775; yet in quest of it, and of possessory rights over the territory about it, Cook evidently was coming; that, too, stimulated by a Parliamentatr' grant' of. twenty' thousand' pounds contingent upon success; and.it behooved Spain to be represented in northern waters when le arrived. This project was prevented by lack at San Blas of a vessel that could be spared for the purpose, the Santiago being,destined to Peru; and it was not until 1779, the year of Bucarely's death, that the expedition (two frigates, the Princess and the Favorita, built respectively at San Bias and Lima,' and commanded, the one by Lieutenant Ignacio Arteaga, and the other by Lieutenant Bodega y Quadra) was able to set sail. It quitted San Blas on February 11, but on July 1 was forced back by scurvy, making on the way ai' examination of Drake's Bay and anchoring at San Francisco the middle of September. Meanwhile (1778) Captain Cook, unchallenged, had visited the Northwest Coast, stopped long in Nootka Sound, and striking across the Pacific to the south-west, had met death in the Sandwich Islands. 474 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 1810 A.D.

Dated from Potosi, August 24, 1812. In Bolivia the War.of Independence from the rule of Spain lasted from 1809 till 1825, with alternate success. " The first movement of the war was the successful invasion of Upper Peru by the Army of Buenos Ayres, under Gen. Balcarce, which, after twice defeating the Spanish Troops, was able to celebrate the first anniversary of independence near Lake Titicaca, in May, 1811. Soon, however, its leaders became disorganized, and was attacked and defeated in June, 1811, by the Spanish Army under General Goyeneche. and driven back into Jujuy."

The report details the abuses. of theJ Spanish Administration and states that the laws that once made Mexico happy were now urging Mexico into dissolution through scandalous and irremediable abuses." It is of great interest that in 1815 little more than a year after the report had been sent to Spain the second Mexican revolt (under Morelos) broke out to be followed by Mina's rising in 1826, while in 1821 the Viceroy was beaten in battle. In 1822 Mexico became a Federal Republic. In 1829 the victory of Tampico assured Mexico's independence. * 48 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. DEFENCE OF SANDY HOOK AND NEW YORK.

Their forefathers were forced to land on those desert shores full of rancorous antipathy, particularly to our Nation, who expatriated and forced them there-they carried no religion wt. them-their descendants have earned none-they imbibed wt. their mothers milk that rancorous antipathy agt. the Parent Country...

The great Washington was a great knave-he carried the whole American Army into Long Island under the pretence of protecting New York, he might just as well have said the Tower of London; had the Adelphi done their duty on that occasion by sounding the passage of hellgate, Washington and his whole Army should have been prisoners."

Bound in limp morocco, lettered on side. ~12 108 A letter of very great length., descriptive of his missionary work among the Demerara negroes, and the obstacles put in his way by the white planters. He also graphically describes the terrible conditions under which the slaves worked. "... The evil of which I speak grows upon us. When the Slave trade was carried on the planters could easily procure as many negroes as were requisite to do the work; but since the abolition, the slave population has much decreased, and is still decreasing. The planters; instead of diminishing their cultivation, increase it, and by converting their estates from cotton, and coffee (easy cultivation) to sugar, nearly double the labour, and have less hands to do it. The consequence of this, is, that the Slaves on Sugar plantations, which are more numerous than Cotton or Coffee, are frequently compelled to work night and day and Sundays besides. But some brave 'West Indians at home will tell you that this is only the ease in crop time, and that when the crop is gathered in the negroes have easy work. In answer to that, I affirm, that in Demerary the whole year is crop time. On Cotton and Coffee Plantations the crops succeed each other so fast that as soon as the former is gathered in, the latter is ready, and in such quick succession that they can only find time to weed the plantations, etc., etc. On sugar Plantations, as soon as one field of canes is cut down there is another ready the whole year round. " Our adversaries have been exceedingly busy lately. Br. Davies is involved in a most serious difficulty.

Such was Mr. Davies' case! 0 my God, when shall the wickedness of the wicked come to an end?"

The one thousand large plates embrace the remains of Mexican Picturewriting, and of the Architecture and Sculpture, thus giving to the world a record of one of the most wonderful civilizations ever known. " When some four centuries ago the enterprise of Spanish navigators opened the vast continent of America to the admiration of Europe, the civilization of the New World was found to be concentrated in two spots, and two only, of that enormous territory. "One of these favoured regions was Peru, the other was Mexico. It vwas in MEXICO ESPECIALLY THAT ART, POLITICS AND SCIENCE HAD RECEIVED THEIR GREATEST DEVELOPMENT. All the rest of North America, from the shores of Hudson's Bay to the Mouth of the Mississippi, was desolate and barbarous, diversified only by swamp, forest, or prairie, and populated by savages without knowledge or laws. Mexico alone redeemed the character of the new continent, and presented to the eyes of the invader a spectacle so marvellous as to satisfy even the expectations which the great discovery had raised. There the Spaniards found an organized State, an ancient polity, an opulent capital, an exalted dynasty, a formidable priesthood, and a people well skilled in mechanical and decorative arts. So great in fact was the proficiency of the Mexican workmen, Jo elaborate the system of government, and so impressive the whole evidence of wealth and grandeur, that for some time the civilization of Mexico was regarded as superior to that of Europe. Although indeed the researches of modern inquirers have enabled us to supply some corrective to these ideas, it is really probable that in certain respects the Spaniards found Mexico more advanced than Spain, and we have been recently assured that on the authority of a comprehensive history that this civilization was the necessary incident of geographical and natural advantages. Such was the situation and configuration of Mexico that it could hardly fail to make progress, and all that was discovered there in the shape of national wealth or political order represent extraordinary opportunities which nature had pro-.vided."-Times, Dec. 8, 1858. 512 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W.

The author seems to spread the great wilderness out before us like a map, and while kindling in our minds a sense of the infinite grandeur and beauty of Nature, inspires us at the time with something of the spirit of his own holy mission. The very names of the solitary places from which he dates his letters, not only startle us by their strangeness, but are linked with the most affecting associations-' Foot of the Cross of Peace'-' Village of the Sacred Heart of Jesus '-such are the names with which the Catholic Fathers christen the wilderness which is made glad by their labours."-New York Evening Mirror. 1848 A.D.

We cannot hold out a hand to a brutal and bloody tyrant such as Rosas without in the first place giving him a severe lesson, and showing that we are always ready to repeat the lesson, if necessary. It is only at this price that our fellow countrymen and our commerce will be placed on a secure footing in any place in the two Americas, formerly Spanish.

"I had a letter from Fanny in which she says you are. desirous of knowing something authentic about the charges made against Gen. Grant, as to the late battle. In brief then as to ' the surprise.' What little foundation there may have been for the idea has been a thousand times magnified. An attack in force was not expected-but it was not in the Military sense a surprise-and if it was even it had no such influence as is asserted in the so called disaster of- the day, for the troops of Gen. Prentiss who was 'surprised' if any body was, were not taken prisoners till after 4 o'clock P.M. nor were they the first to be taken. There was no surprise that amounted to anything. As to Gen. Grant's drunkenness, it is pure fiction and slander-as I fully know. Ever since we.left 'Cairo to attack Fort Henry (and for some time before) I have been intimately associated, with Gen G. both by night and day-and I never saw him the least under the influence of liquor. Indeed he seldom touches it at all,-is strictly temperate, and most positively abstemious." Etc. MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 539 1862 A.D.

Many of the letters are of great length, extending in some instances to 8, 12, 18, and in one case to as many as 23 pages. 4to. The letters are accompanied by typed transcripts. The Journal, as comprised in these letters, commences with the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Kean from AustIalia (where they had been "on tour" for about nine months). They left Sydney on the 9th July, 1864, on board the "Fanny Smale," a small bark of some 500 tons en route for San Francisco, where, they arrived on 2nd October after a very adventurous voyage. A full account of this voyage, as contained in Mrs. Kean's very lengthy letter to her daughter, was privately printed in pamphlet form by the latter for circulation among the friends of the family, -.nd a copy of this rare pamphlet commences the collection. The letters give a graphic account of the fortunes and misfortunes attending the Theatrical Tour in California, then up to Vancouver, back to California, and finally down along the Western side of Central America as far as Panama, where they crossed thel Isthmus, and proceeded to the West Indies: and in addition contain much important matter relating to the social life in those countries and towns. They further make most interesting reference to the Mormons of Salt Lake City; and are also descriptive of the landscape and flora of the places visited. Some of the letters contain little sketches illustrating the text. Their opinion of life among the Californians and Spanish Americans, and of American matter generally, is given in the most frank and confidential manner possible, being only intended in the main part for their daughter's reading and information. Mr. and Mrs. Kean on leaving Jamaica in the West Indies proceeded to New York, where they continued their Theatrical Tour. 542 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W.

The letter is evidently written to General Marquez, a prominent member of the "Assembly.of Notables" at Mexico. He states that he has received through Seior Gutierrez Estrado, his correspondent's letter containing his adhesion to the vote of a large number of his fellow-citizens calling the writer to the throne of Mexico. He remarks that no one knows better than the General the sufferings of that unhappy country, its necessities and its aspirations; no one can be more solicitous for its welfare or more anxious to assist in the establishment of its independence. Therefore the warmth of the sentiments he expresses is a very important testimony in favour of the Empire, and increases the writer's desire to lead Mexico to a better fate. * ** In June, 1864, Maximilian landed at Vera Cruz.

Ellen Kean, the famnous actress, is perhaps one of the most graphic descriptions of the death and funeral of Abraham Lincoln, and of the subsequent events, that has ever been written. In April, 1865, Mr. and Mrs. Kean, with their theatrical company, were in New York when the terrible news arrived of the shooting of the President Abraham Lincoln by J. Wilkes Booth, an actor, at Flord's Theatre, Washington, on 14th April. The assassin belonging to the theatrical profession and being the son of 'Junius Brutus Booth the famous actor and rival of Elmund Kean, made the tragedy of more than special importance to them, and they felt they were to some extent personally implicated in it all. Two days after the assassination Mrs. Kean commenced a very long letter to her daughter Mary informing her of the tragedy, giving a. vivid account of the death of Lincoln, the flight of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin, the excitement and wrath that ensued in America and especially against all those connected with the stage, the terrible vengeance promised to be wreaked on Booth if taken, the grief and mourning of the populace; further as to the arrangements for the funeral of the President, rumours of the murderer being arrested but that the Government were ooncealing the fact fearing the mob, that petitions were being prepared in Washington for the hanging of every Southern sympathiser, the draping of the City with black, likewise the Theatres; the terrible affliction felt by the assassin's mother ('he being her pet son), and his actor brother Edwin Booth, the latter declaring he will never act again; meetings of those 'connected with the stage to proclaim their loyalty with the North and their -adhorrence of the crime; allegations of the arrest of many of the employees of the Washington Theatre, and' that all was oonfusion and mystery. Mrs. Kean also gives her daughter most interesting news concerning their own experiences connected with the Tour, she criticises most adversely the American Theatrical Managers with whom they had dealings, the upset of their arrangements by the murder of Lincoln, but " grief or no grief they will flock to the play "; her dislike of America and the " Yankees" in general, the terrible high prie, charged for various neoessary articles of dress; and that after their journey of nearly forty thousand miTes, through which they had been mercifully preserve MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. t547 Linooln (Abraham)-continued. through, many perils, they were looking most anxiously to returning home to England. The writing of this letter extended over three days, and is graphically descriptive. A month later Mrs. Kean wrote from Baltimore an almost equally lengthy letter (likewise extending over three days) to an English lady friend, Miss Sherritt, giving her further particulars concerning the death of the President and the effect on the American public; also vividly describing the lying in state and funeral, the ceremonial arrangements of which she details and most adversely criticises. She then mentions that Jefferson Davis had just been arrested, and discusses the allegations as to his implication in the murder plot; he also refers to the trial of the conspirators which was then proceeding. In the concluding portion of the letter she comments at some length on the -nsettled and angry state of the people in connection with the recently ended civil war. The terrible condition of the States affected her greatly, and she ends the letter by stating:"England is the only land to live in." These two letters are printed for the first time in the privately issued pamphlet (limited to 50 copies), to which is added a Prefatory Note by John Drinkwater, author of "Abraham Lincoln," a play which las been acclaimed as the finest dramatic representation of one who was the greatest of all American Presidents except perhaps Washington. 1866 A.D.

(Trans.):-"...I have no reply to make with the exception of a few observations with reference to your remark ' Your quarrels in America are costing me money.' I have no quarrels here. I have, certainly to complain bitterly of my so-called compatriots in this country-It is quite useless for me to reproach you for having granted me an acquaintance with this infernal Bergmann, a characteristic sample of the German scum with which this country is overrun, compromising equally my own nationality & the musical art & impending materially the progress of the latter.. "Although America has changed in many respects since you were here, Messrs. Henry & C. will be better able to inform you,as to the tastes, & aesthetic culture to which the German population here have attained, the tone of which has in no way improved.

"...You. are evidently doing excellent work, and I hope we shall some day see the results of, it. Oft course, coming from you, it will be amusing, but it ought to be a great deal more than that. You will dig up far more of the humanity in the languages and customs, and beliefs of the Red Indians than can be found at Troy or Mykenas. Only keep aloof of theories, such as totemism, fetishism and au that. We want facts, no isms. The poor savage has never had a chance-either he is made into the ideal of the future or into the ideal of the poet, as by most anthropologists. And yet he is not a day older nor a day younger than we ourselves, unless he whs separately created just in time for Columbus. The idea of totems exist almost everywhere, in the past and in the present, but it has different motives and different purposes... "Your poem is charming. I hope 1 was not wrong in sending it to the Athenoeum. As to the Cat, that is a long story, but even in Whittington's time the cat, i.e., the mouser, was still a rare animal in the east." . 5,.58 548 ~MAGGS BROS., 34 & 3 5, Conduit Street, London, W. 1863A.D [157] iEZA DE LEON (Pedro de).

" Know that on the right hand of the Indies there is an island called California, very close to the side of the Terrestrial Paradise; and it was peopled by black women, without any man among them, for they lived in the fashion of Amazons. They were of strong and hardy bodies, of ardent courage and great force. Their island was the strongest in all the world, with its steep cliffs and rock shores. Their arms were of gold, and so was the harness of the wild beasts they tamed to ride; for in the whole island there was no metal but gold." With the Sergad, Cortes and his followers (the discoverers of Lower California, 1533-1535) had ample opportunity to be acquainted. The first time (so far as known), that the name of California was applied, to any actual body of land, was in 1539, in the diary of Francisco Preciado.

She used her Vw?^' ufiW} influence and her wealth to promote missions for the conZt\ _ z version of savages in every part of the globe to the Roman ~.g.fiT, Catholic Church. In her archives were letters from the Provincials of every country and reports from the missionaries working in the Far East, Morocco, Egypt, the Holy Land, China, Japan, the Philippines, and America. In a letter to her from one missionary Father which has been preserved she is praised for her "Apostolic, Maternal and more than Paternal Zeal for the Missions." And as she was most generous in lavishing her fortune on her proteges the " Mother of the Missions," as she is called, received regular letters and reports from all the missionaries on the progress of their labours, details of the lives and sufferings of their co-workers and converts. As all these letters were solely intended for the eyes of the Duchess and not for publication, each Father naturally endeavoured to interest the wealthy Duchess, his patroness, in all the details of his special mission. In this way a most remarkable and extraordinary series of letters has been preserved dealing with the history of the first discovery, exploration and evangelisation of California by the Jesuits. Gilmary Shea in his " Colonial Days" maintains that Father Eusebio Francisco Kino is one of the greatest of American missionaries, and it is his correspondence with the Duchess d'Aveiro which has now come to light for the. first time since she received his private letters to her. Father Thomas J. Campbell in his great work on the Jesuits which has just been published, writes as follows: " Kino was born at Trento on August loth 1644, and entered the Society of Jesus on November 20th, I665. He subsequently taught mathematics at Ingolstadt, and while occupying that post applied for the foreign missions. He left the University in 1678, but did not reach Mexico until 3rd May, I68I. The reason of the delay was his assignment as an observer of the famous Comet of I680 and I68i. During that time he lived in Cadiz, but he did not publish the result of his observations until [i] his arrival in Mexico." (This book was offered for sale in our Catalogue No. 412, No. 120.) Chapman says, "As far as Memorials and Governmental Plans went the Californias held a prominent place in the seventeenth century. Friars, petitioned for a missionfield there; navigators and traders offered to get information about the Californias and to found settlements, all at their own expense, in return for which they asked a license to fish for pearls, usually to the exclusion of others; and the government was continuously desirous of occupying the territory as a defensive measure. The real object of the voyagers was not to found settlements, but to seek pearls; the terms of the contract were but a lure to get the more remunerative advantage of the license. When at length it seemed clear that nothing of consequence would be accomplished by private initiative, the government resolved to assume the expense. In 1682, the Jesuit Fathers Kino, Copart and Goni, along with Fray Jose Guijosa of the Order of St. John of God, were ordered to accompany Admiral Isidro Otondo y Antillon on an expedition to California. The Otondo expedition resulted in a colony being founded, which failed, however, after an existence of several years. It was the mission with Isidro Otondo y Antillon that gave to the Peninsula the name " Santissima Trinidad de las Californias." In 1685 Kino was compelled to leave California because of the recall of Otondo to convoy the Philippine galleon past Dutch pirates to Acapulco. But so deeply had the spell of California been laid upon him, that ever afterwards he was eager to return and make converts of its people. "The enterprise of the conquest and conversion of California having been suspended by Royal Order in I685," Kino wrote in I698, " I asked of the Provincial license to come to these Gentile people of these coasts nearest to the said California (Upper Sonora, or Pimeria)... he fiscal of his Majesty Don Pedro de la Portilla asserted that from these coasts there would be the greatest opportunity possible to continue the conquest and conversion of California. I set out from Mexico on the 20th of November, I686, and arrived at Guadalaxara, whence I set out on the I6th of December (arriving at Oposura in February)." In 1687, on March I3th, Kino founded the mission Nuestra Seniora de los Dolores (about I20 miles south of the present Tucon), and between 1687 and I690, in conjunction with Padre Jose de Aguila, he founded the establishments San Ignacio, San Jose de los Imurias, and Nuestra Sefiora de los Remedios. On coming to Mexico, Kino's labours were those equally of missionary and Royal cosmographer. Kino had believed California to be a peninsula, and although he sometimes in his letters to the Duchess states that it might be an island, it is to hir. that the first real knowledge of the Peninsular position of California is due. This acknowledgment being found on many of the printed maps as late as the end of the eighteenth century. In 1711 the sun of the cosmographer of Trento was beginning to decline, and in that year, on Jhe 15th March, he died among the Pimas at the age of seventy-one years, in the mission station of Santa Maria Magdalena (Sonora). [ii] The contemporary entry with regard to Father Kino's death reads as follows - "I7II.-Register of the Dead at la Magdalena (Sonora). On the fifteenth of March, a little before midnight, after receiving the Holy Sacrament, Father Eusebio Francisco Kino. passed away peacefully and with great edification, in this house in the town of Sta. Maria Magdalena, at the age of seventy years, for nearly twenty-four years Missionary at Nuestra Sefiora de los Dolores, which was founded by him who toiled untiringly in continual pilgrimages and the conversion of heathen throughout the Pimerian area; who discovered the rivers Gila and Colorado; the countries of Cocomaricopa and Yumas; and the Quicasmagsa of the island; and-resting in the Lord-he now lies buried in a coffin in this Chapel of St. Francis Xavier, on the right side from the Altar, where are situated the second and third chairs. He was of German nationality, from the province to which Bavaria belongs, having been -before entering Pimeria-missionary and cosmographer in California, in Admiral Don Isidro de Otondo's time." Before the discovery of the correspondence of Kino with the Duchess of Aveiro which we offer for sale in this present Catalogue very little was known about the details of the first missions and the first expedition of Kino with the Admiral Isidro Otondo. This was owing to the fact that no other letters of Kino were known to be in existence. Richman (in his "California under Spain and Mexico "), Professor Chapman (in his' Founding of Spanish California ", Father Campbell (in his " The Jesuits," a history of the Society of Jesus from its foundation), Venegas (in his " Noticia de la California y de su Conquista, 1757 "), Clavigero (in his "Storia de la California, I789"), while full of details of the later expeditions, knew little or nothing of the extremely interesting events that took place from I68o-I687. On these years the correspondence with the Duchess sheds a flood of light. liii] j..., w.. > Ad r '....... Mi;:;F:9Li-f: SYNOPSIS OF LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS. I.

(SEE ILLUSTRATION, PLATE No. I.). ~250 " Father Theofilo de Angelis [1] on arrival at Seville from Salamanca after having passed through Madrid and' spoken with your' Grace, has informed me of the sacred and apostolic undertakings, and the spiritual desires of your Grace in trying to arrange for the discovery of the Unknown Land of Australia and the handing on, to these people, of the Light of the Evangelical Faith. (' He tells me now, does Father Theofilo, that mention was made of me as a desirable companion for him in this new venture and voyage, adv'sing me to write to him and your Grace, and to the Rev. Father, our Commander, offering my services for this Mission. "And since Father Theofilo has made mention of me in his lettors'to your Grace and in the letters he wrote to the General, I therefore merely wrote to Rome "'- ' ~... (Continued over) [1] Father Tleofilo de Angelis, born at Sienna, 1651, left for the Mariana Islands in 1681. was unsuccessful in carrying out the Duchess d'Aveiro's favourite scheme for an expedition for the discovery of the Unknown Land of Australia and tl-e evangelisation of the natives, as he was martyred by the savages on the Mariana Islands, on the 24th of July, or the 2nd of August, 1684. I,, I -ft _, _-L I,, - -,,. '., - 2 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street,.London, W. Kino (Father Eusabio Francisco)-continued. (with reference to all this) with the indifference which seemrs to me appropriate to a Missionary Father already assigned to his own Mission. "Now that Father Theofilo has sailed for the Indies without having ascertained the General's attitude towards him or towards me in all that concerns the Expedition for the land of Australia, I approach you to see again if perhaps Our Lord wills that I should bear Father Theofilo any good news concerning your and my inclination to undertake the discovery of Unknown Lands in Australia. " Beforehand, therefore, I write the reason why I, with eleven other Missionaries, are remaining here in Europe whilst eleven others, amongst whom was Father Theofilo, have sailed for the Indies with the Fleet. "After sixteen Missionaries had been living for two years in Seville, where the same (with Father Theofilo himself) had arrived two years previously here at Cadiz from Genoa, after the departure of the Fleet, we embarked on the tenth of last month on the vessel "The Nazarene" in order to proceed to the Indies with the Fleet. "At the entrance to the Port our vessel was caught amongst the rocks adjacent to ' The Diamond,' in very evident peril of sinking uith all on board; whereupon, by the grace of God and the intercession of St. Francis Xavier, the sea became calm and we returned safe and sound to the city and to our College towards the evening. Our Proctor of the Indies proceeded to ask throughout that night uwhat hope we had of returning on board; whereupon, when he learnt that the vessel would not be seaworthy for some weeks, he returned to the College; and at two o'clock that night he roused us to go and embark on the other vessels of the Fleet,, which we reached at about seven the following morning. We were nearly all without cloaks, caps or breviaries, as we had been on leaving the shipwrecked vessel "Nazarene '1; but in spite of many prayers and supplications, they would not receive on board any of the vessels more than eleven missioncries; the others, amongst whom were the writer and three novices, were obliged to return to Cadiz and to the College. "At first they held out hope that soon, if the vessel were brought up to the required standard, we might proceed in it on our voyage with the Fleet, but all these hopes proved futile, and eventually Father Tomaso Revell and I remained to do the work of this College at Cadiz, the other Missionaries, and the Proctor, returned to Seville. And as it is three days since the completion of repairs to the vessel " Nazarene" it is; thought that it will make the journey to the Indies with the galleons,, to reach the New Kingdom, without our benefiting by its departure, whilst we propose to set out for Vera Cruz. "If your Grace can give us any help, advice, or information regarding any embarkation for New Spain, I humbly petition you not to omit to notify us. "The mistakes which I have perforce committed (not having waited upon your Grace before, as Father Theofilo desired) I despair of correcting as I would wisth. "If perchance your Grace has already written to Rome for the letters from Father Theofilo it twill be a great comfort to me to hear of it; and I will respect evry opinion whatsoever of our General, so that I may at the first opportunity, inf'rm Father Theotilo as to this."

Thanks to God, we are all in good health, with the exception of Father Paul Klein one of the four Fathers who lived in Seville; he had to be bled a few days ago. I await from God's goodness that he will immediately recover his wonted health, and that we can rejoice in the good hopes that we have of being able to continue our voyage this year still to New Spain, either in the ships for Honduras or in the dispatch boat which sails directly to Vera Cruz, or in the sh.ps that are destined for the Leeward islands as your Grace was kind enough to advise me. "All of us Missionary Fathers who have been living in Seville for the past two years would have looked upon it as a stroke of particularly. good fortune had our superiors sent us to the Marianas, and solely the obedience which. est melior quam victima could mitigate our disappointment that some of us were ordered from Rome for service in New Spain; and, for, me, this dispensation was-and will bemy reason for not requesting to be sent to other parts, if it is not so ordered by the Superiors; although I have never lacked the desire and courage, having (with this object'in view) studied mathematics for the purpose of turning my knowledge to account, if God so willed, in the East Indies. "If by any chance the letters, which Father Theofilo wrote before leaving Europe, should reach Rome, asking that I might accompany him on his voyage of discovery to Australia (near the Mariana Islands) it would be one of the greatest comforts I have ever known in my life (but of course I would not ask it myself, if it is not so ordered by the Superiors). "May the Divine Love fill your Grace's heart and soul and bless you for. your endeavours to procure the conversions in the Marianas and other Lands, known and unknown. " During the last four days the ships have arrived from Honduras and they bring bad news that the French and English and other pirates have sacked Porto Bello and besieged Panama, and that they wish to proceed to Lime. They also report that between Panama and Cartagena some rich gold mines have been discovered; and within the last three days three ships have put in from Biscay, which, they say, are ships from Barlovento or Armadilla. "The day before yesterday, an Augustinian Friar escaped from his Monastery two months after his admission to Holy Orders, and they wonder whether he has sailed from here aboard one of the English ships which left this Bay. "We are awaiting 60 Missionaries for Paraguay who arrive from Seville to sail from Europe in the Buenos Aires ships-in a few daye, apparently, althouthr there are some who say that a few weeks must elapse."

Father T'.'eophilo de Angelis [1] Father Caromus Calvanesius and some other Fathers are now going to the Philippines and the Mariana Islands. If we cannot follow these lucky Fathers on their journey to the Eastern Church with our bodies, we can at least follow them mentally and pray for them and ther success continuously, as wel as for their successors in the whole of the Orient and in the Unknown Land of Australia. " God knows how eagerly some ten years ago I endeavoured to obtain both ot Rome and elsewhere a Portuguese grammar so that I might learn Portuguese, or at least its cheef elements while I was still in Germany, in order that. I might, in due course if it pleased God and my Superiors, go to the East Indies. In the letter which I received four days ago from Rome., the Father General confirms, as does also the Assistant Father of the German Province, Charles de Noyelle [2] that we were to go either to Paraguay, or to\ the New Kingdom. But since the chance is gone of going to Paraguay, ice may be going to the New Kingdom as there is a despatch boat which will leave Europe with the fleet,, and will take us to the Port of Vera Cruz, as the Father Procurator of the Indies has warned us, who wishes that those Fat.hers who are destined for the Philippines or the Marianas should follow the others who are going to Mexico with the fleet, so that they may be able to take a boat in Acapulco for the Philippines... Kino goes on to give details of the composition and membership of the different Jesuit Provinces, both of Upper Germany (wlilch comprises Bavaria, the Tyrol, Switzerland, Suabia, and the, Palatinate), Bohemia, and Austria. He gives a quotation from a letter from the General of his Order to the Provincial of the Provin-c of Upper Germany, in which Father Antonius Cereo and himself were named as elegible, one for the Mexican, the other for the Philippine missions. -He gives a long history of how it camet to pass that Father Cereso was sent to the Philippines and he was to be sent to Mexico. although he personally wished to go to the Philippines because it was on the road to China. He thanks her Grace for the letters of recommendation which she sent to the Vicereine of Mexico, and mentions how important it is that Church and State should be on good terms. "What your Grace wishes to know about me I will write nmost willingly, about my nation and my country; I am a Tyrolese from Trento, but I don't know whether I can say whether I can call myself an Ital'an or a German, becauve the town of Trento makes use of the Italian language, laws and habits, but although it ii situate inr the very extremity of the Tyrol, it belongs to Germany as does the whole of the Tyrol, and although our college of Trento is the college of Upper Germany, it is usual to speak Italian there.

' This reminds m.e what a certain pious Canon of Milan once said, who, when he was asked by an Italian Bishop in friendly conversation, whether if he were to become Pope, he would like to be beatified, piously and laughingly answered, 'It would be good for your Grace and it would be good for me, because you would be Pope and I would be a saint.' "In the same way I may say 'It shall be given thee, o Rudolph what thou asketh,' when your Grace predicts a martyrdom, for me as a result of my labours in Japan and China. I make answer ' 1' would be good for your Grace and it would be good for me because your Grace would be a prophet and I would be a martyr. "As regards the letter of Father Ferdinand Verbiest [1] I have known men who could not refrain from tears while it was being read.. "I shall obtain publicity for that letter in Germany and Italy, and intend to use it so that'our colleagues the missionary Fathers, who are staying at Seville, may obtain as much consolation and solace from it as we, who are living at Cadiz. At Seville are staying those four missionaries of our Society who are colleagues, of Father Antonius Maldonado, who arrived at Cadiz eight days ago in the Genoese vessel, Santa Rosa. They are going to wait there till the galleons leave in next February or March. The names of these four, missionaries are as follows: Father Casparus Beck, a German, Father Christopherus Riedel, a German, Father Dominlcus Maria Lanzemani, a Neapolitan, and the fourth is Father Antonius Maldonado, who has brought them to Rome from the New Kingdom. They say that they expect four more missionary Fathers from Belgium, or perhaps six even, for the New Kingdom. Of the four German Fathers, who are staying at Seville, and are destined for the Philippine or for the Mariana Islands,, two would be most suitable for the Chinese mission. One of them Father Paulus Klein is instructed in various languages, in mathematics, and in medicine, the other, Father Adam Gerstel [2] is an excellent painter, an excellent musician, and is extremely clever at nearly every kind of mechanical art, such as sculpture, statuary, architecture, etc. " I judge that the journey to Chlina, via the West Indies and the Philippines is easier than the way via the Cape of Good Hope and the Equator, and the East Indies, Goa, etc., I also think that it would be easier to return from China td Europe via the East Indies than via the West Indies. The reason of both seems to me that the mot:on of the ship and the navigation is more in conformity with natural motion which has a tendency from east to west." Etc. [1] Ferdinand Verbiest, born at Pitthem near Courtrai, 1623, studied in Seville. He left for the Chinese missions in 1659. Father Schall associated him with his astronomical work. Father Verbiest was thrown into prison during the minority of the Emperor Kanghi. In 1669 the Emperor of China made him President of the Board of Mathematics. In 1681 he was put at the head of the Chinese cannon foundry. On his death in 1688 he received a Chinese public funeral. [2] Adam Gerstel, born in Styria 12th June, 1646, left for Mexico in 1675, where he is supposed to have died in 1702. 6 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W.

If I consider Japan, and the victories of its martyrs which have been obtained by the love of God, then your letters which I have recently received, and which mention Japan seem to me most pleasing. If however, T look at China with my mind's eye I am delighted that I spent so many years in the study of mathematics and other sciences, which were so pleasing to me, that it has always been a delight to me to live in rooms in the colleges which had windows to the East, so that the aspect of the East, where I always intended to go to convert to God, delighted me. " The most zealous letters of Father Ferdinand Verbiest [1] which your Excellency recently sent me have delighted my heart, as much as any that have ever been sent from the Indies, and seem to demand that any available worker should be sent there... it would be easy for me to name thirty or more missionaries who would be quite suitable, and with God's help, I shall name them, if there is an opportunity. As long as pictures and statues of Father Adam Schall [2] and Martin Martini [31 are to be found in the libraries and elsewhere in the Province, there will always be m.ssionaries to be found who are desirous of following their footsteps in Chinese mission, and although it is necessary to submit one's most ardent wishes to self-examination and to restraint and to obey even the nods of one's Superiors one does not cease to commend oneself to God."

In the mceantime, they are causing us to hope that at: the end of next month possibly, the fleet will leave, and with them our despatch boat for New Spain will take us there, with God's help. "In the letter which I received this morning from Rome from the Father Assistant Prefect of Germany (dated November 9th, before they had received the letters of Father Ferdinand Verbiest [1]), are these words: ' the zeal for salvation of souls, which inspires Her Grace, the Duchess d'Aveiro, is indeed worthy of praise and veneration, and without doubt, she will receive the accumulated reward from God. At the present time, the Father General (of the Jesuit Order), as I think, will not send more members of the Order to China. "However, the Father Assistant will have received from me that letter and another, and the Father General will have understood the prayers, wishes and sighs contained in the letters of Father'Ferdinand Verbiest, and it may be in consequence thereof, that they may conceive the idea of sending help in the w.ay of missionaries to poor China. " Here we saw during five days at 6, 7 & 8 in the evening an enormous Comet, and I do not doubt that it was also visible at Madrid, perhaps, however, one hour before it was visible to us. It began to be visible and observed by us who live here in the College, on the 23rd of this month, although others saw it three or four days previously. I have no doubt whatever that this is the same Comet which mlany people assert that they saw four or five weeks ago at four and five in the morning, and indeed in the East, before sunrise, with its tail pointing towards the west. Those who deny that this is the same Comet give as a reason the difference in time at which it was seen, and the difference of position of its tail. On the other hand, one may well say that in the same way the planet Venus is one and the same planet although at different times of the year it precedes or follows the sun, and then bears different names; in summer when it precedes the sun, it is called Lucifer or Phosphorus, and in winter, when it follows the sun (as now the neighbouring Comet)\, it is called Hesperus. "As regards the distance of this Comet to the earth, and about its size, about its true locality, and as to its unhappy effects uVon the kingdoms of Europe, I shall endeavour to inform you, in my next letter."

Autograph Letter signed (in Spanish) to Father Luis de Espinosa, S.J., at Seville. I page, folio. Dated, Cadiz, 8th January, I68I. ~75 "Forgive me but, having betaken myself during the three days' harvest for the renewal of the vows, I have not been able to reply as speedily as I would have wished to your letter, received three days since, which has afforded me much consolation, being as it is, written by your own hand. "Every day we have observed the comet and its movements in the sky, having passed by the constellation of Sagittarius, by the ' Antino' and the Dolphin, and it is now passing the Pegasus, having been yesterday afternoon and evening at 6 in the heart of the constellation of Pegasus, with the tail of 60 degrees, an altitude of 328 degrees, and 17 degrees 18 of Boreal decline, or distance from the Equator. The natural motion which the comet has daily assumed since the forenoon of the 24th December has been 4 to 5 degrees. This, its natural inclination, was from the South-West to the North-East, with a slight decline towards the East. It seems that this will last many days; and I would judge its distance from the earth to be 3000 leagues or more and the length of its tail 5000 leagues, which is more than three semi-diameters of the terrestrial globe. Regarding what you ask of, and command, me, I would say: "God over all, but in the natural course, it seems that this great comet (the like of which I do not know whether the world has ever seen) signifies and threatens many fateful events, and as you say, its influence will not be favourable. Withall, it indicates many calamities to Europe, particularly bad for three or four Kingdoms. It denotes barrenness; famine; tempests; some earthquakes; great disturbances for the human body; discord; wars; many diseases, fevers, plague; the death of many people and particularly of exalted personages. May God regard us all with mercy." Etc. MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 9 " THE COMET..IS ACCOMPANIED BY MANY CALAMITIES." 1681 A.D. [1697] KINO (Father Eusebio Francisco).

It would indeed be unfortunate if, through some mistake this business of the missions of the New Kingdom were not to be promoted more zealously, considerLng that there are many nissionaries who were already destined for the New Kingdom, and now think of remaining in Spain, not without great peril for Christianty and the Missions of the New Kingdom. It would be indeed deplorab.e if that person, whom your Grace mentioned in the letter you wrote ml about two months ago, as being little friendly to the Missions, or, if Father Antonius Maldonado, Procurator of the New Kingdom, now as far as I know, at Madrid, were to make difficulties in sending the Missionaries to the Province of the New Kingdom, because of lack of money for the journey to the Indies. There would be a great deal more expense if some of these Missionaries were to be fed and lodged in Spain for another two years. "The common rumour here in Cadiz is that the fleet will leave at the end of January next, but many think that the fleet will not leave before six or seven weeks, and possibly only in the month, of March. " We, who have remained in the ship called "The Nazarene," have been ordered by our Father Procurator, to leave Europe together with the fleet in the ship called the Dispatch Boat, for the port of Vera Cruz. " With regard to the great Comet which is visible here (and as I believe throughout the world), we saw it in the evening at the hours of 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10, and later, and you will have understood, from my letter of the 14th, that this Comet has been observed by me almost every day in the sky, except the last three days when the obscurity of the sky prevented us from observing the Comet. Notwithstanding, I think that, even in these last three days, the Comet ascended by its own motion towards the Arctic Pole in a slight declination towards the East, and that it will pass the Tropic of Cancer. And although the longtitude of the Comet's tail from the 5th of January when it almost reached as far as the seventieth degree has been diminshing daily, I firmly believe that the Comet will iast the whole of this month of January, and a considerable part of next month. If you like, I will write to you more about the Comet, about its daily movement, about its distance from the centre of the earth and from us, about its size, about its significance, which is inauspicious and accompanied by many calamities, droughts, epidemics, tempests, the deaths of many, and revolution.

It is possible that my earlier letters may come to your hands together with this one, because, 1 have consigned themo all to the Father Balthasar de Mansilla [1], Procurator of the Philippines and of the Mariana Islands, to be included in the Royal chest, which is sent from Mexico to Madrid. "Father Balthasar de Mansilla is specially devoted to the Missions of the Far. East, and above all to the Mariana Islands; when, in the month of March last, he sent to the Far East those missionary Fathers who had arrived here ten months ago on board the fleet, he wrote to the Father Superior of the Mariana Islands that he could pick out as many of the missionaries as he liked, and whichever he liked, for the Mariana Islands. He will write the same about the other mrissionaries, who, two months ago, arrived with me when he sends them to the Far East next March, and, in every way, he does all he can to help the Mariana Islands. " Father Balthasar is trying to send me to China, and already several days ago he has mentioned this matter to the Father Provincial of this Province of Mexico, endeavouring to obtain me for his Far East. But, the Father Provincial has not given Father Balthasar his definite consent, on the contrary, he thinks to send me with another veteran missionary Father to California, whither in a few months ships and soldiers, and a magnificent expedition is being sent to discover whether this be indeed an island or a peninsula, so large and vast. It may, however, be that the Father Provincial will yet give his consent when in two or three weeks' time Father Antonius Cereso returns from Puebla de los Angeles. He may also be destined to go to the Philippines, but he may yet stay in this Province of Mexico owing to the difficulties of navigation at the present moment, and it may be that I must go to the Far East in his stead. In the meantime however, I do not listen to one more than the other, nor do I let myself wish one thing more than the other. On the 23rd of June, at 6 o'clock in thd evening we had a great earthquake here. Many public prayers had taken place, in order to obtain rain. I suspect that this extraordinary drought had in some way caused the earthquake, because afterwards there was a great inundation. In the next few days we await the return of Father Joseph Vidal [2] from his missions in Puebla de los Angeles; I awe much to his humanity and kindness as well as to Father Balthasar de Mansilla..... unless the fleet leaves the port of Vera Cruz earlier I shall try to let your Grace know in another letter to what missionr the Father Superiors are sending me, whether to the far East or whether they keep me for the missions of New Spain or for California." Etc. [1] Father Balthasar Mansilla, born at Villagarcia, 1638, spent some time in the Philippine Islands, was Superior of Silang, then Procurator of the.

We endeavoured to make them understand that our attitude was pacific, and bade them lay their weapons upon the ground, assuring them that we would do likewise, but they refused.

Wednesday was given over to wood cutting and felling huge palms; planning and erecting a little fort in the form of a crescent; and our small church. " 8th. On Thursday we caught a very large quantity of beautiful fish, which provided for all of us for more than three days., - <" 9th. Friday again saw the Indians at our camp, accompanied by many more, in all about 80, all quite peaceful and very friendly, askng for maize, watch they call ' aquaj'; it is a great luxury for them-they eat it as though it were a sweetmeat-and after giving them maize we taught them to make the sign of the Cross. "At sunset they retired, very happy, to tne mountains to steep, telling us they would return the following day, which they did, and very friendly and docile they were, too. "10th. We held up a leather shield for them to aim at with their darts; but, as it touched the target without penetrating it, so each arrow snapped and fell. Then our soldiers fired at it with a gun, and when the shot passed through it, the Indians were full of admiration but none the less terrified; and in the afternoon they retired to their huts. "11th. On Palm Sunday we blessed, and distributed many beautiful palms. "12th. On Monday and the following days, we continued building our little church and the fort; wh.lst the Captain's ship put in for repairs prior to sailing for Hiaqui for supplies and horses. "13th. On Tuesday the Admiral sent nine soldiers to scout inland and see if there were any river or lake or hamlet; but, owing to the fact that they were obliged to go on foot, which hindered their progress, they were only able to survey three leagues of land and did not discover either a river or a hamlet. From an eminence, however, they saw columns of smoke in the distance and a lagoon and lovely plains; so that, if it please God, we will penetrate further inland, as far, indeed, as the opposite coast, which cannot be more than twenty leagues away. "14th. On Wednesday many of the Spanish Gentlemen came to confession. "15th. On Thursday a few more attended, and the Admiral, the Captains, many soldiers and sailors received the Sacrament. "In the afternoon more than forty Indians called upon us, most of them being the ones who had visited us before. They meekly learned to make the sign of the Cross and we gave them maize and chocolate powder; and, subsequently, they retired to their hills to sleep under the trees. " There was a sermon' for the Spaniards. " 16th. On the Friday, the Indians returned with a load of wood, for they had noticed that on the previous day we had rewarded those who had assisted in chopping wood; and, at noon, they returned to their encampment. In the'afternoon there was another Sermon, on the Passion of Our Lord. - "17th. On the Saturday, we sang the Litanies and said Mass as we were accustomed to do; and at the gloria in excelsis, and five other times during the Mass, all the musketry was discharged, with a festive peal of bells, and much rejoicing. " The Land is good, and the temperature pleasant; there is an abundance of fish, wood, birds, stags, rabbits, etc. " We have sown maize and planted melons, water-melons, etc,, and hope they will yield fruit; and we trust that in a few months from now, we may begin to baptize, for these Indians seem to me the most docile, affable, pleasant and sociable.in all America."

Letter [I] (in Spanish) from Father Kino to Father Julio Martinez from California, dated 20th April, I683. From the camp of Nuestra Sefiora de Guadalupe and the port of La Paz in California. 2 pages, folio. ~26 Gives a detailed account of his travels and the meetings with the Indians. "Since 18th March, when we left the Sandbank of the river at Sinaloa, we had been keeping in the vicinity of the rocks and islands of S. Ignacio. Well, on the 29th of the said month of March, on the Anniversary of the Annunciation of Our Lady, His Divine Majesty ordained that we should at last sight California, without losing sight of the Shores of Sinaloa and the other banks of S. Ignacio; for the navigable distance is no more than 35 leagues. "On the 31st March, the day on which we concluded a novenary to the Glorious Saint Joseph, we entered the great Bay of Nuestra Seniora de la Paz, whose entrance is at latitude 24 degrees 55 min. The following day, the 1st April, 'e continued south to the mouth of the harbour at La Paz; and some of us Landed and found a lovely well; a meadow; a beautiful palm grove; tracks left by the Indians, etc. "On the 2nd April, we nearly all landed, erected a great cross upon an eminence and returned to the ships to sleep. "On the 3rd April, Saturday, we again landed, but without coming upon or seeing a single Indian, which was a great disappointment to us. "On the Sunday, we put off in two launches and penetrated further into this port of La Paz, which is at latitude 24, 10 min.; and again we neither found nor saw any Indians. In the afternoon we went fishing with nets and caught a large quantity of fish'; and as we espied columns of smoke, we began, on Monday, to build a small church and a small fort or camp of Nuestra Seiora de Guadalupe, and from that day on, we slept and lived ashore. " On the Tuesday, on the morning of which most of the people were descending a hill, and chopping wood for our buildings, we heard yells from the Indians who were making for this port. Later, our soldiers ran to their weapons, and the Indians advanced, shrieking wildly, armed with bows and arrows in warlike attitude-at least, on the defensive-and making signs to us to leave these their lands. " We tried to give them to understand that we were peaceful and bade them lay down their arms, and said we would do likewise, but they refused." Etc.

Letter signed (in Spanish) from Father Kino to Father Francisco [Ximenez?] (the body of the letter in the hand of Father Goni or Father Copart, Kino's Co-Missionaries, the latter part of the letter in the Autograph of Father Kino). 4 pages, small quarto. Dated, San Lucas, 27th July, I683. ~450 " I have written three or four letters; nevertheless, as it is doubtful whether they ever reached you, I will here reiterate that on the 25th March of this year of Grace 1683, we sighted this country, California, and after having entered the Great Bay and port of La- Paz on the 2nd April, we landed and erected a great Cross, and later added a small church, and we founded this camp at, Nuestra Selora de Guadalupe. "In the meantime we persevere in this conquest by learning the language of this country; by our kindly treatment of the natives, and their instruction in some of the ritual of our Holy Faith; by the manufacture of rude huts, and particularly by protecting ourselves in an excellent little fort which we have constructed near the sea in the form of a crescent. The erection of this fortification (which has its moat all round and a good-sized trench of large and wetl-dsposed columns of palm) was.rendered necessary by the incident which befell us on the Day of the Festival of the Holy Ghost, when more than a hundred Indiansr-the advance guard, so we were given to understand, of very many more-made war on us with terrific outcry, and ranged themselves into two troops, to eject us from their lands, and take possession of our provisions. " But by the great mercy of Heaven and beneficence of the Holy Spirit, we did not fire on them,.either with firearms or slings, neither did they level any darts at us. And in the interim, while we were wondering whether or not they would attack us until they had first met with some demonstration of hostility, one of the troops of Indians entered our trench, and although our valiant soldiers held the -barrel of their guns to thef Indians' chests, and the Indians perchance unaware of the nature of our weapons feared them not and did not retire, we did not fire on them, and thus we were specially favoured by the Holy Ghost in thLat the peace was not disturbed by the hostilities which the circumstances seemed to threaten; and that we were spared the risk of forfeiting the success of our whole enterprise. " And we gave the Indians maize and other trifling gifts of ribbons, laths, pocket knives as in the days when they came to visit us pacifically; and since then (albe:t the soldiers stroll regard the Indians with suspicion) they are at peace with us and quitel friendly, even on terms of familiarity, so that they are making a habit of coming to see us frequently at this camp of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, bringing us presents from Pitahayas. Once they also brought us some tiny pearls, which they do not value very much or take much notice of; neither do they trouble to fish for them although they abound, and there are many to be found of fine lustre in this Bay. Over two hundred have already been obtained fromn them as a perquisite for the image of the Holy Virgin, and many of the people possess many more. "During our three or four journeys to the East, the. South and West, we have reconnoitred about six or seven leagues of land. Though the country is mostly mountainous, it does not lack good arable land,.and -there is no doubt that, on the arrival of our horses, when. we shall be able to penetrate further inland, we shall discover still more and vaster tracts of land, valleys,. and perhaps (Continued over).. -, -.- - 1- 0_1*61a_,;_ 22 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W.

We have seen that towards the opposite coast there unfolds a glorious plain with luxuriant foliage; at the present dry season there are waize, marrows, meloni and water melons in profusion, likewise some tamarind trees which we planted some weeks ago and which are coming up beautifully, much to the Indians' admiration. They are very fond of maize. With the help of God, we shall sow this plentifully here as also on one of'the beautiful little Islands in this great bay, where we have found a lovely salt lake. " 'These Indians are very lively and good natured. They are of fine physique, very happy disposition, always ready with a smile and very sociable. The men wear no clothes whatever beyond a feather headdress; the women are clad in skins from chest to foot. The complexion is slightly lighter than that of the Indialns of New Spain, though a little boy who called upon us recently was distinctly red of skin. For food they live mainly upon shellfish and fruit, venison and rabbits, and birds of wh.ich there is a great variety. Some days ago one of the soldiers on leave granted by the Admiral, took his hand gun to the hills and in a very short time brought down ten doves. " The weapons employed by the Indians are bows and arrows, with flints without poison (which they know not of). IWhen we use a leather shield at which they aim, their arrows invariably snap in pieces; and they are full of awed admiration when we show how, with one gun shot, tie missile passes through two or three shields. " The chiefs wear reed pipes suspended from their necks, which, however, are never used until they are actually in the thick of a fight: they therefore dislike the sound of our flutes and guitars and harps. Knives and any iron ware appeal to them much, and every sort of bead, ribbon and decorative trifle. " Redskins mistrust their womenfolk and children. Their language, which is not at all difficult to understand, possesses all the letters of the alphabet excepting 's' and 'f' but they are learning these. The salutary wordl 'Jesus' and other Spanish words, whether spelt with the unfamiliar ' s ' or not, they are curious to pick up, and ask us numerous questions regarding the names of objects in our language. We are in great need of an Interpreter, by wuhose aid we would assuredly have transacted much commerce and would have had many of the natives baptized by now. " This letter had been written thus far at the end of June, and I had intended to send it with the Admiral's ship which was then due to pass this way with provisions, but at the Council of War which met about that tine it was discovered that the soldiers were disinclined to remain without a ship in sight, and there were many differences of opinion together with much unpleasantness, which was aggravated by the lack of provisions. "Thus'it was decided that the Admiral's ship should not go to Sinaloa; then again, the other day, the Admiral was informed that an Indian had shot an arrow at a soldier, but though he had not drawn a drop of blood, he was ordered to be taken prisoner on board. Upon this there followed a great commotion on the ship amongst the warlike rugged Indians, who are great fighters. In the meantime we were approached by some Indian priests, who are very steady and peaceful and sternly disapprove of the others, and they related how the militant ones had murdered a young seaman whom we had lost sight of some time since. " Thus the weeks sped on, and' as on the 3rd July, sixteen of tlhe warlike Indians came upon us (principally chieftains whilst numerous others were stationed in the hills). it was thought they had come to take one of us prisoner or to release their own man whom we held prisoner. "They advanced with apparent friendliness and the Admiral ordered that they should be welcomed with offerings of the food which they liked best,; and whilst they were seated at their repast, as was decided at the hasty Council of War, we fired upon them with our light artillery and killed ten of them, the rest retreating badly wounded."

The natives have such good qualities, that it seems to me that in no other part of the world could our European funds and zealous efforts be better employed than in this very extensive California. "I shall be delighted to hear that you have received the little books on the Comet, or rather Comets, for over here we have not failed to see it and experience many of its effects. But may it be the Divine will to grant that we proceed with our enterprise, and as I say and repeat, I implore your Grace to take this matter to heart, as though it were your oum endeavour. Words fail me, particularly.a.r I write to your Grace whom we have learnt to venerate as the great Mother of the Missionaries and the recently-converted; as well as of those about to be converted to our holy faith.

"On the 29th of September we left the port of San Lucas on the coast of Sinaloa, on the 6th of October we arrived at ihis Rio Grande; of California, where we found many Indians who are very meek, friendly, affable and docile, who come to see us every day, in all friendship, and give us the greatest hope of being able to convert them quickly. "f On the,th of November, some Mexican Indians married. On the 20th of the same month the Captain's ship returned from Hiaqui, with all the provisions we asked for. The journey from here to Htaqui took two days and a half, and fromn Hiaqui it came in thirty hours. On the 22nd we made an expedition of six leagues into the interior of the country; we found water, docile people, beautiful plains, and very good land for sowing, timber and plantations of trees, stone for building, etc., and on the very same day in the camp there was a baptism of a poor dying man. the first Californian who (in a few hours) went to Heaven. " On the 30th of November, possession was taken of this land of California, with all solemnity, and of the Prov:nce which we call the Province of San Andres. " On the first of December, we made a second expedition which took us eight days there and back, a journey of fifty leagues, and we directed our expedition to the interior of the country, towards the west. "' For more than twenty leagues we went with the Admiral, thirty-five persons in all, till half-way we met with a mountain so high and so steep that the harses, mules, and their riders could not pass it And so, twenty-nine of us went on about twelve leagues; nearly everywhere we found good land for sowing, many streams, charming valleys, and plains, three lagoons of water beautifully fresh, and sure traces of a stream bearing much water which flows to the other coast; many and very big trees, prickly figs, many deer, hares, etc., and the best that we saw were sure signs of many people and. of many souls, as there were numerous and large huts, fresh embers, etc.... and although, at the first sight of us, all the natives had retired to the highest peaks of some mountains, a chief accompanied by sixteen others, came to speak to us most peacefully, and affably, placing his arms on the ground., and gave us permission to enter nearer, up to the river, but the ships did not delay more than four more days, and desired to return. And as we gave presents to these Indians skilfully, without doing harm, or displeasing any of them, we are confident that.when we make further expeditions we shall be able to make them even tamer. "Most of what we have sown has already grown greatly, and the melons, water melons, and pumpkins are also growing, as if we had sown them in Sinaloa; we have also planted vines, fastened to stakes, pomegranates, and quince trees We hope with the favour of Heaven for better and more copious harvests from our plants as well as from the souls" Etc — _L~-~r-l~ —~~- ~I~~- - ~-~ - - ~~ ~ - - ~ - -. `- — —.-..1. --- — -1*I.-. ----~ ~~r.-r Ipl MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 25.

However, we met with land which was so steep and such gigantic mountains that we could not climb them and w.e were obliged to continue along the east coast, and stopping at the creek of San Dioaisio we journeyed about twenty leagues to the south and found many huts, with many natives, very tame, docile and affable, who, gave us presents of fish. They showed us the way and two natives received soane haberdashery from the Royal charity, and some of our food, some sandals, some glass beads, and they were highly delighted with these presents. "The majorit!i of the hut-dwellers speak the Eduana language, some speak the Nube dialect of th-e Guime I-,d ans, many speak the Onaylatra dialect. " Their food cqn'ists of a kind. of cactus, and very much fish, and all kinds of oysters, with especially large mother-of-pearl,hells, which show that there are important pearl fisheries. With the four divers which the Captain's ship has brought God will be served, as everything serves Him for the spiritual good of so many souls. "' We found in this expedition that the hut-dwellers here had better dwellings and cabins than any others which wie had seen before, and even the men of the "Calandra," who twenly months ago passed round the Cape of San Lucas, sa'd that they had seen there some huts of good appearance and very well built. We also found a salt mine and from it we brought very good salt to this camp of San Bruno. Once when there were some clouds in the sky which seemed to indicate rain (because the natives live on fish, it appears they do not like heavy showers) they begged our people to stop it, considering them, as in the previous expedition, as Gods or Heavenly visitors. "The settlements along th'rty leagues which we found in that district are called as follows:1, San Sereno; 2, La Concepcion; 3, Simeon; 4, The Martyrs of Japan; 5, Santa Agata; 6, S-n Pedro; 7, San Mathias; 8, San Ignacio; 9, San Francisco Xavier; 10, San Valeno; 11. San Francisco de Borja; 12, San Auguwstin; 13, San Nicolas 'de Tolentino; 14. Srn Geronimo. "Many setlemeents are in the habit of holding 200, 300, or 400 more souls moreover, in addit on to these settlements and inhabitants, what we found in this expedition were several good ports, several good watec ing-places with good water and palm%, many fine beaches from which. to fi;sh, 'lorto:ses, salt-marshes, corals, stones for arrows, but the pearls which are moest precious in these mountains is the affability, peacefvlness and docilit.y. of the Indians, and it is so great, that although a soldier killed one of the natives on this expedition, on the 'day after his death, the rest of the natives brought us presents oi -fish. And ten or twelve days after the death, the boat arrived at this Creek of San Dionisio, not knowing of the death that haa taken place and wi bho t much ado they called a boy and gave him sonne letters for thiv camp of San Bruno, but these Indians did him no harm, on the contrary they showed 'him. ',he way, and accompanied h1mn' eight or nine leagues, and because he was t'rod from thf; t. then rreceded hi a.and came to this camp of San Bruno and fetched wafer for him, and they ran back to refresh h'm with this and did this with great lo-, aentd neacefulness, just as one might expect from Christians who are very friendly, etc." _ __ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ - _ _ MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W. 29 "CALIFORNIA IS ONE OF THE MOST CONSIDERABLE PORTIONS OF AMERICA." 1686 A.D.

But it is in the power of the Viceroy to see that so many poor souls be not abandoned, since the Missions are under his special protect'on, by ordering that the Jesuits should continue the missions. If three or four of them should renain there, they would reap for Heaven a very abundant harvest; and by giving them the escort of a few picked soldiers, the Fathers would be put to little expense, which could be easily arranged -if the Viceroy were agreeably disposed towards this pious work, icn which they all seek to please him; for in the Indies as everywhere else, the will of the superior is law, and the conventions pursued in the possession and discovery of these places will not weigh heavily, for they reveal themselves at their true worth." .30 MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W.

It is said that some days ago, theyr arrived at Granada to sack it. so as to be able to:ass from the Pacific Occ:an to the Atlantic. " In all my letters, more than a thousand times, I have commended to your Grace's, special care the state of California, and the ripeness of the, harvest of 5o many, such docile, sweet and peaceful, and even instructed souls, who were begging earnestly for Holy Baptism. I also did all I could by praying on my knees... and, on the 14th of March, 1686, an order came that we were to begin the baptisms of these tame, instructed and docile natives of California; however, a Royal letter arrived in April, from His Majesty the King, ordering the suspension of the conversion of the most peaceful California, but on the contrary, ordering help to Nueva Biscaya (according to the Royal letter), but which, God. be thanked, is ini perfect calm, and in good order. Will not Your Grace help to save so many souls and bring them to eternal salvation? "T1,hanks to God and owing to a letter which I wrote the Father Provincial, and through a petition which His Reverence gave to the Viceroy, the Vicereine has given us three grants for three new missions, so that, when the fleet returns bringing new missionaries, we will begin with the Seri and Guaima Indians, who are also asking for baptism. These new missions are also opposite California, and can be seen so clearly that there is not more than fifiteen leagues of sea between one and the other, and this will be most useful for those who will begin conversions on one side and on the other of this arm of the sea, or Strait of California. The native Indians of California, are most peaceful and docile, more so than any others than have been found in the whole discoverli, and they owe their eternal salvation to Your Grace's divine zeal for the good of souls.

FATHER KINO RELATES THE HISTORY AND DISCOVERY OF CALIFORNIA. 1686 A.D. [1718] KINO (Father Eusebio Francisco). The Apostle of California. Letter signed (in Spanish) by Father Eusebio Francisco Kino to the Duchess d'Aveiro. 4 pages, folio, on rice paper. Dated, Mexico, i6th November, I686, and with the nine last lines in the autograph of Father Kino. (SEE ILLUSTRATION, PLATE No. IV.). ~350 A most important letter of Father Kino, written four days before his second missionary expedition, during the course of which he founded Nuestra Sehora de los Dolores, San Ignacio, San Jos6 de los Imuris, and Nuestra Sgnora de los Remedios. " A little less than six months ago I returned from the Californias or New Carolinas, to th's city of.Mexico, and wrote to Your Grace, and gave you an account of the great and ripe harvcst of souls which there was in that very large island, and of the great eagerness with which those peaceful and docile Indians begged for instruction in the mysteries of our Holy Faith, and for Holy Baptism; and how with the ships from California, we met and advised the Philippine galleon of the enemy pirates which were on the coast of the Pacific and that the pirates were waiting to rob it, and that we arrived safely with the galleon at the port of Acapulco scoffing at the four enemy ships. Since, from the middle of January, 1686, we came from Acapulco to the city' of Mexico, and when in April we were about to return to California, to continue with the conversion of so many docile souls, and the ripe harvest, a letter came from Madrid, (in answer to one from here of 1685), in which the information was given, that New Biscay was about to be lost owing to the revolt in the Indies. This (Royal) letter ordered that help should be brought to the kingdom of New Biscay, and ordered the suspension of the conquest and conversion of the Californias. But, as there was plenty of money in the Royal treasury (as the King's treasurer answered him, in May, 1686), the Viceroy received four new grants for four new missions, two among the Tarautmare Indians and two others among the Seri and Guayma Indians, who are within sight of the 'Californias, and so near them that the distance is not more than fifteen or sixteen leagues, I have been ordered by my Superiors to found these new missions of the Seri.s and Guaymas, who are also asking for baptism, and in two days I shall leave ihe c.'ty of Mexico for: this purpose. "However, I still keep and hlope a favouratle determination and resolution for the continuation of the conquest and conversion of California or the Carolinas. I am very glad that a new Viceroy has come who is very interested in the missions and very devoted to the glorious Apostle, St. Francis Xauiier, and in the warrant with which he conceded us the two grants for the two new mnissions of the Seris and Guaymas, he says., that they should also have to serve and help the continua. tion of the conversion of the neighbouring California. " In order to help you I would like to call your attention to the following three points; " The first point is that it is possible today to continue with the conquest and conversion of the Californias with very little expense to the Royal treasury. During the last five yea.rs from 1680 onwards about half a million has been spent, more than two millions have been spent on California in the expeditions that were made by the following, on their voyages of exploration; viz., Don Fernando Cortes. in 1523, Sebastian Biscayna, in 1597 and 1602, Francisco Ortega in 1634, Admiral O~Y~~-LL~._~~ —. - -Llr~_.L__~L.-... L~.. . --------- -- -- - -- ~ --- I ---- -I —, -I —, —.4rM.1F1rTW MAGGS BROS., 34 & 35, Conduit Street, London, W.,33 Father Kino to the Duchess d'Aveiro —continued. Don Pedro Portel Casanate in 1644, Admiral Don Bernardo Bernal de Pinadero, 1677, and others who with great vessels and Ivigh-decked ships, spent the amount of money mentioned above, on soldiers and sailors, on arms, supplies of pro. visions, repairing gear, etc., for the discovery and conquest of California. " Today it is possible with a couple of light barges, and with a small guard of twenty or twenty-five, and with four or six missionaries costing about 20,000 Pesos, or even less, to continue the desired goal of the conquest and pacifica. tion of California, as may be attested by many prudent and experienced men who during the last years took part in the Californian expedition. "Again everybody knows what trouble and annoyance arises for a conquest, and what a waste of money is caused by great vessels which have to come more than 200 leagues journey from Compostela and Guadalaxara. Thence ships must be brought for California. With the delay and detention generally nine or ten months (Ire wasted, but by leaving here with two barques fronm Sinaloa and Hiaqui it would be possible to send a weekly supply of all necessary provisions. "The second point is that the conquest and conversion of California used to be attended by such difficulties that the Common Enemy of humanity (the Devil) has possessed it for many years. Notwithstanding the principal difficulties are reduced to three;.he first is the heavt4 expense, the second the dryness and sterility of the land (which (auses it to appe.r uninhabitable), the third, the diseases and especially the ' Mal de Loanda,' which in the months of March and April, 1685, affected many of the soldiers. In answer to these three difficulties, I say, as to the heavy expense, it can be averted by what I have stated above, as to the second difficulty (the dryness) I may say,, that in one year and a half we were able to overcome this easily, and that it is so in general through. out the whole of New Spain and North America, When on the 8th of October, 1683, we landed at that port of California which we called San, Bruno, we found it very pleasant and fertile, and fruitful in pasture for cattle, and quite suitable for sowing (as the Admiral Don Isidro de Otondo y Antillon wrote to His Excellencp the Viceroy, in his letter of 16th October, 1683), and there is a little maize or wheat or other grain, which we afterwards sowed, and it grew as in any other part of New Spain, and, from that wheat, we made bread and wafers, with which the sacrifice of the Mass was celebratel for a long time. "However, it is certain from ths' information given by the natives of the Californias, that further North there are lands which are more level and fer. tile, and abounding in water, and there is a Royal letter in existence which. says that at an altitude of 36 degrees there are trees for ship masts of any size, and it is certain that we have not seen more than one per cent of California, since it is so big, and that from Cape San Lucas to Cape Mendocino.and to Cape Blanco there are more than five hundred leagues in length, according to the log books and relations of Sebastian Biscayno, Francisco Ortega, and Don Pedro Portel Casanate, and of others who have navigated ships and have made various discoveries of the Californias; and as we have found the natives of the whole of California extremely mild and docile, and if there are in some parts of the Cailsfornias want of ships from the fat lands of the Seris and Guyama; Indians and trom Sinaloa and Hiaqui it would be easy to remedy this by means of little boats. " As regards the third difficulty (the diseases) which reign there in the months of March, April and May, they are to be found in many parts of New Spain in the same way and attended by equal mortality. And, instead of living in the camp of San Bruno, which has water even in times of drought, because it is very near the sea, and there is much bad water there, we could arrange to live in the other camp of San Isidro and San Nicholas, or'in Los Reyes, or in another part of thf land but nearer where there is water, even in time of the most severe drought."

Father Eusebio Francisco Kino las assured him that he has given Hel Grace an account of the State of the Californias, and of the three new missions wlhich have been placed there (to which the Father has just gone), which owe their establishment to the singular zeal of the Conde de Paredes and to the piety of his Countess. He informs the Duchess that the Countess has ordered him to act as her Confessor on the journey to Spain, and that he is overcome at the idea of his good fortune of being able to place himself at Her Grace's feet and to show her that he is full, of reverence, etc. It is interesting to note that Father Kino actually left Mexico on the 20th November, 1686, arriving at Guadalaxara whence he set out on the 16th of December, arriving at Oposura in February.

Dated from the Mission at Conicari, February I5th, I687. ~125 "It must be three months since I left Mexico, and found myself at this Camp, known as the Friors' Camp (Los Frailes) Province of Sonora, which I happened upon when the mail was leaving for Mexico, and seize the opportunity of greeting Your Grace. "Since I left Mexico and arrived at this place on these missions, to deal with the new conversions of the heathen and the rest-I appear to be nearing the achievement of my object-I have written some little pamphlets, opinions on the state of the new mines, and the riches of Los Frailes, some of whomn we met who told us of the fabulous value of the metal; whilst others, although the lesser ones, said the resources were only beginning to be gauged, but did not appear to be extensive and without much depth. "On my way to this holy mission at Conicari, I passed by those same mines of the Friars, and by the new camp which, with the assistance of the President of Sinaloa and its garrison, they are building (with the principar traders and all the miners) on a very lovely plantation, intersected by a pleasant river, in May. "I have just seen, and am aware of the clear and honest truth of the words of His Majesty's Royal Edict which is inserted in the Royal decree, that. in consideration of the new conversions, he granted me, some months ago, the Royal audience at Guadalajara. The true words of the Royal Proclamation dated the 14th of May, 1686, are as follows:"'f The King:"'For having complied with the urgent duty of applying every meansg and urgent endeavours which it was possible to make in furtherance of the conversion of souls to the service of our Lord, God," who in his great mercy, has: recompensed the gleanings from my Exchequer with greatly augmented fortune and riches for my Royal Monarchy, I hereby order, etc. "And it is certain that so great are the sums which we are realizing, and shall continue to realize, in " Quintos" [1] from this d'scovery of new mines that it well seems our expenses will be amply refunded, apart from the extra expenses which may be incurred in the prosecution of our campaign of conversion in California. Here, almost in sight of California. we heard that such wealth had been discovered that many shrewd judges declare unanimously that they consider that never before has greater wealth been discovered in all previous explorations. ".4 trustworthy friend has written me la terly that there were 43 mines recorded, of such depth that each one was sufficient to subsidize this new camp, in view of its abundant?.ield of metal and great masses of alloy, the smallest being 4 marks per quintal and the largest at 40, 50, and 60 marks per quintal forsmelting; and for quicksilver from 24 to 70 marks per lot of 12 quintals. " Many more mines we shall be able to discover if we dig deeper below ground. Even uithout the wealth of metal we shall realize huge "Quintos " working the quzcksilrer at this new camp, for everything helps, and, please God, must help on these conversions to the eternal salvation of many souls."

Here more than sixty baptisms' lhave already taken place of infants and some adults. The natives of the town of Nta.

Joseph Romo de Uricar; and it is some days since I baptized this chief's two sons, also many other adults of this neighbourhood who are very well versed, for I continue to baptize them by degrees and every day. the number of heathens mounts up; and they come to make their urmes or lodgings in this other town of Nuestra Senora de los Dolores, whetre with very great pleasure and of their own accord, the natives are now turning their attention to finishing doors and windows for a very nice house and church, and the same will be constructed (with God's favour). "Also, in th.e other towns, the people are very hardworking and understand agricultural work such as the cultivation of wheat and maize. " It is a Jew days since I received the bells from Mexico and have fixed them up in the little church which, ever since the earliest days, we had built. The natives love to hear their pe-al which has never before been heard in this land; and they are also impressed by the pictures and other things connected with the Church, and have a profound appreciatfon for all things concerning their eternal salvation. "In the same manner they ask for holy baptism and Missionary Fathers, theje neighbouring Indians called Tepoquis; and the Seris Indians; and the Guaymas Indians." Etc.

At Vespers, a solemn Mass was sung, and there was a procession, etc., and to this new country and new mission at Nuestra Senora de los Dolores there also came to the said ceremony and festival, five chiefs of the principal encampments from inland; and although some of these had, up to now, been little enamoured of our Holy Catholic Faith, since the festival of the baptismal ceremony above referred to, they have been so happy and comforted that they are now asking for Missionary Fathers for themselves and their countrymen, and fcr holy baptism.

And this little gift may (if Your Reverence so wishes) be handed to the Father de Ancieta, and to the muleteer, Miguel de Espinosa, who is a very reliable person, for Matopo. "I am in a most fertile country which can, and does, easily yield such abundant harvests of wheat and maize that we could easily supply other Missions or new converted communities poorer or shorter of supplies than ourselves, without always remaining so dependent for our expenses upon the Royal Treasury which, as Your Reverence so prudently remarks, is already burdened with so many expenses. "And the point which has always seemed so essential to me is: that we too should co-operate in the conversion of souls, with gifts of a temporal nature, for perhaps by this means God may dispose that this Province should remain free. from debt, etc -which consideration is what some people cite as an obstacle."
