Madrid. 10 HISTORIA GENERAL de los hechos de los Castellaños en las islas i tierra firme del mar oceano. Escrita por Antonio de Herrera, coronista mayor de S. M. de las Indias y su coronista de Castilla. Folio, 5 vols. Madrid. This work was printed between the years 1726 and 1730, the volumes bearing dates of all those years. It is merely a reprint of the original edition of 1601-1615, with the addition of a very copious index, compiled under the direction of Barcia, but without a continuation, as erroneously stated by Meusel. An edition was printed at Antwerp in 1728, with very indifferent and very useless plates, and the text abounding in typographical errors. It was published in French, at Paris, in 1659-71, and in English in 1725--6. For a very judicious criticism of this work of Herrera's, see Irving's Columbus, iv. p. 387. 11 VICTIMA REAL LEGAL, discurso unico juridico-historico-politico, sobre que las vacantes mayores de las Indias occidentales pertenecen à la corona de Castilla, y Leon con pleno y absoluto dominio.

It was reprinted with the second part, and large additions in 1747. 6 THE ACTS OF ASSEMBLY, passed in the colony of Virginia, from 1662 to 1715. Vol. I. London. Folio. This volume contains all the acts down to 1715, and is probably called vol. i. in reference to those that might be subsequently passed and printed. The laws of Virginia were printed in London, without date, probably before 1696, as an act passed in that year is mentioned by Trott as not contained in it.

Par le P. Pierre François Xavier de Charlevoix, de la compagnie de Jesus. Quarto, 2 vols. Paris. Reprinted at Amsterdam in 1733, in 4 vols. 12mo. According to the judgment of Bayle, this is the best of the works of Charlevoix. The worthy father says, however, that if he had listened to the different critics who passed judgment on his work, he should have been in the case of the man in the fable, who, between his two wives, was left without any hair on his head.
