By William Douglass, M.D. Vol. I.

Boston. 8vo. pp. 568. This work was first published in numbers. The first appeared in January,

1747 ; the volume was completed in May, 1749, about which time the first 248 pages were reprinted, apparently without any alteration, notwithstanding the statement made in the preface, that “the account of Commodore Knowles's impress in the harbour of Boston, in 1747, was suppressed when the work was collected into volumes.” The second volume (pp. 416,) was published in 1753; containing, 1. Province of New Hampshire. 11. Colony of Rhode Island. I. Colony of Connecticut. iv. Province of New York. v. Province of New Jersey. vi. Province of Pennsylvania and its territories. vii. Province of Maryland. VIII. The colony and dominions of Virginia. The death of the author, in Oct. 1752, prevented the work from being finished; the history of Virginia is only touched upon, the two last numbers being mostly occupied by a digression on the small-pox, which prevailed at that time in Boston. Both volumes were reprinted in London in 1755, and republished, with

new titles only, in 1760. 8 *REPRESENTATION of the Board of Trade relating to the laws,

The boundary line between the Spanish and Portugueso possessions in
America was a subject of discussion from the time of the infallible decision

:
of Pope Alexander VI. until they became independent states. This
important treatise on the subject was prepared by two of the most learned

men in Spain. It was translated into French in 1776.

Don Andres Gonzalez de Barcia Carballido y Zuniga, after having published

new editions of Torquemada (1722,) El Peru y Florida del Inca, Herrera, la Araucana, El Origen de los Indios, and the Biblioteca de Pinelo, caused to be printed the authors contained in this collection, and probably some others, as he mentions, in his edition of Pinelo, that Fenandez's Historia del Peru was about being finished in 1731, but of which no copies are known to exist. Most of these authors were printed about that same period, but were not published until 1749, (six years after Barcia's death, which happened in 1743,) when general titles to the 3 volumes were printed, with a table of contents, of which there are two different impressions; one, the most modern, is printed by Ibarra. In the account of the remaining stock of this work in 1778, two hundred complete sets are mentioned, 21 of which are described as on large paper. Of the separate parts there are as many as 1300 copies of some of them, of others very few, and none of the History of Columbus; all these separate parts were sold as waste paper, upwards of 30 years ago. The large paper copies disappeared about the same time, and perhaps in the same manner, as I have found seven copies of the history of Columbus on this paper, but have

never seen a copy of the whole work on large paper. My own copy contains, besides the works already mentioned, the following :

death took place in 1748, while preparing this work for the press. He
was distinguished amongst his countrymen for his valour, but “ has left

state over which he presided.” Southey.

There is a very well written article on this work in Vol. 3 of the Monthly

Review, (p. 197,) from which it appears that it is of no value whatever
to the naturalist. The writer of the review says, that Linnæus, when
in London, “was despised, his papers laughed at, and himself, had it
not been for the generous friendship of the late Dr. Isaac Lawson, had
perished for want.” Large paper copies of this work are more common
than those on small paper. The plates being engraved from the drawings

of Ehret, may still be consulted with advantage.
