Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters of Christopher Columbus and Americus Vespuccius: With an Introduction
The work is enriched with critical notes, a geographical vocabulary, short biographical sketches, a glossary of foreign and little used words and, as a fit crown of its merits, photo-lithographic fac - sz'miles of some of the more important documents printed in it. There are also twenty-two sheets of reproductions of signatures and seals, and three maps, printed in colors, which, although having no immediate relation to the text of the work, are curious and of great interest. The volume is beautifully printed, upon paper made especially for the purpose, and with new types cast for the work. The pre face states that the greatest care and labor have been used to secure accuracy. His Excellency the Count de Toreno, the Minister of Fomento, has presented this Copy to the Library of the Society through our own State Department at Wash ington.
