The Journal of Christopher Columbus - During His First Voyage, 1492-1493, and Documents Relating to the Voyages #224287

Our late Secretary, Mr. R. H. Major, by his pro duction of the Select Letters of Columbus (1847; 2nd cd., brought within the reach of members of this Society all the letters written by the Admiral himself on the subject of his four voyages, as well as some other original documents. There remains for the Council to furnish the members with a trans lation of the Journal of the first voyage, the only one that has been preserved, and this in a mutilated form. Our series will then contain all the contri butions of the great discoverer himself, that have escaped destruction, to the history of his mighty achievements.
