1 A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF New-ENGLAND in the form of

annals: being a summary and exact account of the most ma-
terial transactions and occurrences relating to this country
in the order of time wherein they happened, from the discovery
by Capt. Gosnold in 1602, to the arrival of Gov. Belcher in
1730. With an introduction, containing a brief epitome of
the most remarkable transactions and events abroad, from the
creation: including the connected line of time, the succession
of patriarchs and sovereigns of the most famous kingdoms
and empires, the gradual discoveries of America, and the pro-
gress of the reformation to the discovery of New England.
By Thomas Prince, M.A.

Poston, N.E.
8vo. Vol. I.
Three numbers of a second volume were printed in 1755. It was the author's

intention to have brought his history down to 1730, but he has only reached
to 1633. He spent much time upon the introductory epitome, which
begins at the creation. Had he confined himself to New-England, and
finished his work, it would have been of incalculable value. Allen. A new

edition was printed at Boston in 1826.
2 GEORGIA, a poem ; Tomo Chachi, an ode. A copy of verses on

Mr. Oglethorpe's second voyage to Georgia. London.

ceedings of the people of Georgia, with respect to the pro-
vince of South-Carolina, and the disputes subsisting between
the two colonies.

Quarto, pp. 121.
Printed by Lewis Timothy. There was no printer in the Carolinas before

1730, and this appears to have been one of the earliest productions of the

Charleston press in the form of a book.
4 Politica INDIANA, &c. (As in the edition of 1648.) Sale en

5 COMMENTARIA IN LEGUM INDICAREM recopilationem. (Madrid?)
Folio, 4 vols.
Without titles or preliminaries. From two royal orders inserted at pp. 46
and 47, of Vol. iv. we learn that the work was composed by D. Juan del

1736.

Corral Calvo de la Torre, Oidor in the Audiencia of Santiago de Chile;

and that in 1732 he was ordered to send the work to Spain to be printed. In 1735 the first and second volumes had been examined and highly approved by the Council of the Indies, and the author was requested to send the 3d and 4th, and to finish the 5th and 6th, which would complete the work, but it appears that death prevented his completing the 4th volume, which only reaches to the 12th title of the 5th book; the index to this volume being headed thus : “Rerum quæ in hac parte Quarti tomi, (morte auctoris ita relicti) continentur,” &c. Apparently the work was left in this state, and never published. The indexes to each volume are also imperfect. This copy was found in sheets among the papers of D. Bernardo Yriarte.

transcript of Lawson's Carolina, (see No. 1 of 1709,) without any acledgment, or even a hint that it is not original. Periods and paragraphs are transposed, parts are occasionally omitted, and words here and there interpolated; but, as a whole, a more daring piece of plagiarism was never

executed. N.A.R. xxiii. p. 288. 2 A NEW VOYAGE to Georgia, by a young gentleman, &c. The second edition.

The translation of the history of Peru is by Baudouin (first printed in 1650,)

and the history of Florida by Richelet, (see No. 3, 1709.) At the end
of the second volume is found Hennepin's new discovery of a country
larger than Europe, situated in America. The volumes are ornamented

with very fine engravings.

This work first appeared in 1629 in a small thin quarto; and Barcia pro-

posed to reprint it as an addition to the new edition of Herrera (1726.)
He found, however, such an abundance of materials as produced three
small volumes in folio. The titles of books being all translated into
Spanish, the omission of the places where published and great inaccura-
cies in names and dates, detract much from the utility of the work. The
second volume contains the works relating to America, and its greatest
value consists in the notices it gives of Spanish manuscripts on the
subject, most of wbich are still existing in Spain. Barcia himself pos-
sessed a noble collection of books and manuscripts relating to America,

which were dispersed at his death.

This work is highly praised by La Richarderie, upon whose judgment, how-

ever, very little reliance can be placed. It is somewhere insinuated that
it is a fictitious narrative.

A very well written pamphlet, without a date, but in which mention is made

of the present year 1739.” The following observations would apply to
a later period. “The goodly appearance which Boston, and the country
in general, at present make in fine houses, equipage, and dress, is owing
to paper money.

Never were greater complaints of want of monoy,
while, at the same time, never more extravagance in equipages and dress.
Boston, like a private man of small fortune, does not become richer, but

poorer, by a rich, goodly appearance."

confuted. Containing a short history of the discoveries and
conquests of Spain, in America: with a particular account
