1500-1550 PORTUGUESE DISCOVERIES-continued. 66 reverse of leaf 40; lower margins of last three 11. mended. The prel. 11. have some TERCETOS" of LUIS DE CAMOENS, which are not included in the poet's works published under his own name. The work of Magalhaes, which is the first history of the Portuguese discovery and settlements in Brazil, is so excessively rare that it is questionable whether three copies now exist. Forty years ago, two copies were known: that in the national library of Rio de Janeiro, and the one which had belonged to Ternaux. At present, it is said that the Rio copy has disappeared; and we do not know what has become of Ternaux's. There is no copy in Portugal, for when a new edition was printed at Lisbon in 1858, the impression was made from an old MS. copy of the printed book of 1576. The work is absolutely necessary to the American student as being the earliest printed account of the first fifty years of Portuguese rule in Brazil. The natural history and the customs of the Indians are treated in succession to the political narrative; so that this may be called, with regard to South America, a Portuguese counterpart of Oviedo's work on the Spanish Indies. 28482 CORDEIRO (L.) de la Part prise par les Portugais dans la Découverte de l'Amérique, 8vo. sd. 2s 6d Lisbonne, 1876 LAFITAU-see ante, No. 28335.

The Portuguese original, printed at Evora in 1557, is now so rare that there is certain knowledge of only a single perfect copy. The author's name is not known, but it was perhaps Alvaro Fernandes, that being the last of the eight names of Elvas men who joined the expedition. If this notion be correct, he may have been the same person with Alvaro Fernandes, boatswain or lieutenant of the S. Joao galley that was lost near Natal in 1552, nine years after the return of Soto's companions to Mexico.-Soto's expedition started in 1538, furnished with as much information as had been obtainable from the manuscript Relacion brought by Cabeza de Vaca, one of the four survivors of the disastrous voyage of Pamphilo de Narvaez to Florida. 28486 SOTO (Hernando de) Letter of, and Memoir of Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda, translated from the Spanish by Buckingham Smith, roy. 4to. map of Florida, cloth, 8s Washington, 1854 67 pp. including title.

This is in six chapters; the seventh and eighth are letters from Oviedo, the historian, dated San Domingo, 1543, chiefly concerning Orellana's expedition up the river Marañon, and the warlike Amazons who had opposed him. 28496 CORTES, Eroberung von Mexico (Zweiter, Dritter, und Vierter Brief, mit Vorrede und Anhang), nebst Leben von J.

Notas y esclarecimientos por 1512-1545 SPANISH DISCOVERIES-continued. a la Historia de la Conquista de Mexico del Sr. W. H. Prescott, The first two of the preceding works have already been printed in Mexico, but the additional notes to Prescott's Mexico, which form the third portion of this volume, are no less important and valuable than those which were printed. They remained unpublished only because the editor feared that his subscribers would not pay for anything beyond the specified number of parts. The MS. is all in the handwriting of the late Sr. Ramirez, and it is a proof of the conscientiousness and laboriousness of its author, that there are but few lines which have not undergone repeated corrections. 1524 Conquest of Peru: 28503 [XERES (Francesco de)] Libro primo de la Conquista del Peru & provincia del Cuzco de le Indie Occidentali, Vinegia, Stephano da Sabio, 1535-LIBRO SECONDO delle Indie Occidentali, fullpage woodcut of an Indian hammock, Vinegia, 1534-2 vols. in 1, sm. 4to. a few leaves wormed, old calf gilt, with the arms of the Archb. of Reims on the sides in gold, from the Drake library, £21. 1534-35 28504 From the advertisement at the end of the secondo libro (which is a translation of the Sumario of Oviedo) we learn that a map of the Indies which had belonged to Peter Martyr (and which was perhaps the same as he had caused to be engraved for the first edition of the Decades) had been drawn by Nuño Garcia de Toreno at Seville. From that map and from another, also drawn by a Seville pilot, the editor of the Libro Secondo caused three new ones to be compiled and engraved (one general and two special), which were issued, or intended to be issued, with this Libro Secondo, but only one copy is known which contains them. Libro primo de la Conquista del Peru, sm. 4to. wanting title and preliminary leaves (together 11 l.), old blue morocco gilt, £2. 10s Stephano da Sabio, 1535 VERY RARE. COLLATION: Title, with large woodcut of imperial arms; second leaf, containing a more ample title, with the translator's name and arms on the back, dedication, 2 leaves; text, 58 leaves, bearing signature a to fin eight, and g ten leaves. The statement clearly made on the second title concerning the translator and the original work disposes of the confusion of Brunet with regard to the authorship, and of Harrisse on the subject of the translator, concerning whose birthplace he quotes hesitatingly the conflicting statements of Ternaux and Alcedo. It proves the book to be a version of the Spanish one printed at Seville by Perez (in 1534), and that the translator was a native of Tudela in Navarre. 28505 CIEÇA DE LEON, parte primera de la CHRONICA DEL PERU, que tracta la demarcacion de sus provincias, la descripciones dellas, las fundaciones de las nuevas ciudades, los ritos y costumbres de los Indios, y otras cosas dignas de ser sabidas, folio 28506 Sevilla, 1553 ORIGINAL EDITION.-see ante No. 28326, for a copy bound up with the first edition of LOPEZ DE GOMARA. parte primera de la Chronica del Peru que tracta la demarcacion de sus provincias ritos y costumbres de los Indios, etc. 12mo. with Bellero's map of the New World and other woodcuts, bds.
