The boundary line between the Spanish and Portuguese 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:
Viage de Jerusalen de D. Fadrique Enriquez de Ribera Marques de
Tarifa, y otros Caballeros." Reprinted from the edition of 1606.

The author was appointed governor of Maranham in the year 1718. His
death took place in 1748, while preparing this work for the press. He
was distinguished amongst his countrymen for his valour, but "has left
for himself a more durable remembrance in his historical annals of the
state over which he presided." Southey.

1 THE NATURAL HISTORY OF BARBADOS. In ten books. By the Rev. Mr. Griffith Hughes, A.M. rector of St. Lucy's parish, in the said island, and F.R.S.

Folio, pp. 314, 29 plates, and map.

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.

1 A GENUINE NARRATIVE of the transactions in Nova Scotia
since the settlement, June, 1749, till August 5th, 1751, in
which the nature, soil, produce of the country, are related,
with the particular attempts of the Indians to disturb the
colony. By John Wilson, late inspector of the stores.

"Mr. Wilson seems to be very much out of humour, but does not tell us
on what account. However, he pours out his spleen upon this new colony,
which he represents in a very unpromising way; but he has said so little,
and that in such general terms, and in such a rambling superficial manner,
that he deserves little notice, and less credit." M. R. v. p. 458.

A testimony of the Friends, at the beginning of this book, is dated Phila-
delphia, 1749, from which it may be inferred that the first edition was
printed there about that time. Chalkley was a Quaker preacher and trader,
and spent about forty years of his life in preaching and trading in differ-
ent parts of North America and the West Indies, but principally in Penn-
sylvania. He was a man of many virtues.

5 A NARRATIVE of the dangers and distresses which befel Isaac
Morris and seven more of the crew belonging to the Wage

after they were left by Bulkely and Cummings, on an unin-
habited part of Patagonia, where they remained about fifteen
months, till they were seized by a party of Indians, and carried
above 1000 miles into the inland country, with whom they
resided upwards of sixteen months: after which they were
carried to Buenos Ayres, and ransomed by the governor.
