Ho tnnilu at leam four u;roat trannnt
lnntlc voyages (luring bin earner In
Spain anil Portugal. Of tho llrst two
nothing Ih h'ft hut henrnny, excepting

Tho Hint Ik'kmi Mny 20, 1 107, or Mav
10, 1107, or May SO, MOO, nail wns ml
del taken for thu king of Spain.
Thu hccoihI was started undor the
Kiiuu uimplceH on or about May 10, 1 107,
from tho inn t of Cnilir..
In thcuo ho probahly discovered Culm
and tho larger Men of tho West Indies.
Ills third, and tho ono on which his
fnmo will ever rest, was undertaken for
tho king of Portugal, nnd started from
UsIkiii on May 14, 1C01, It consumed
sixteen months, during which tlmo Vea
imcchiB gathered n vast ntnouiit of in
formation, and, it must bo added, iuIhIii
formation. Shortly after his return to Portugal
lie wrote thu celebrated letter, of vii,''j
portions arc given Ujlown.,,!,
una novcr uoioro iM-publWl0ll j En.
gllsh. Jli9riKTnal is lost. At thu tlmo
"iiu wrote it ho had It translated from
Italian, which ho Bpoke, to Lntln, tho
literary language of tho world at that
tlmo. Within u few weeks after its re
ception by Lorenzo du Medici, it was
Riven to Jolmu Lambert, thu greatest
Illuminator, engrosser and printer of his
age, for reproduction nnd preservation.
How many copied wero uimlo is un
known. Thcro art) two or threo In this
country, nnd less than n dozen in Europe.
Tho finest ono extant is that owned by
Edmund A. ttouiivcnturo, a famous
bibliophile of New York city, from which
the illustrations nro taken. Thu leaves
of tho manuscript aro of thu heaviest
luirohmeut, and thu colors aro as brilliant
today as when llrst applied by thu brush.
Another but much jioorcr copy, recently
sold at Frnnkfort-on-the-Mnin, brought
$300.
Tho book opens 'with nn illuminated
title. jingo in gold, ultramarine, and scar
let, of which thu following picture may
give a fair idea.
Then follow nlno pages of closely writ
ten matter, in which thu queer Latin of
the Sixteenth century is made half unin
telligible by senseless contractions, nb
bruvlatlons mid nrbltrary symbols. Thu
dilllculty encountered in reading this old
black letter cannot be appreciated by any
one unless lie tries to decipher tho pages.
At tho close, of tho letter is wlint is
called a tail piece, n symlolic design
which, whllo it may liavu conveyed a
clear idea to its maker, is more than in
comprehensible today. So far as tho
story is concerned let Alberico Vespuo
cius speak for himself:
In former days it was my fortune to
write unto theo fully concerning my re
turn from those regions which with tho
llect, nnd by thu suggestion and com
mand of Ida most sereno majesty tho
king of Portugal, wo havo sought out
and discovered. These regions it is al
lowable to stylo tho Now World. SInco
among our ancestors there was no knowl
edge concerning thoso things, thu matter
will provo most novel to all who hear it.
For this thing dilTers f roin tho opinion of
our antiquaries, since thu greater part
of them declare that beyond thu equinoc
tial lino (equator) and toward tho south
there is no continent, but a sea as largo
as that which thoy havo termed tho At
lantic, nnd if any of them have admitted
that a continent is there, they have de
nied for many reasons that tho laud is
habitable. Hut my last voyago has
shown that this opinion of theirs is fnlso
and altogether contrary to truth, since
In thoso parts towards thu south I havo
found n continent inhabited witli moro
numerous itooplcsaud animals than is
Europe, Asia, or Africa, ami moreover nn
atmospheru milder nnd moro ngreeablo
tliar in any other region known by us,
asvouwill pcrcoivo later on, whero wo
describe tho chief points. Tho matters
moro woithy of notice and memory
which wero seen or heard by mo in this
new world will nppei below,
On thu 1-ltli day of o mouth of May,
In the year 1501, wo 'parted from Lis

thu west, Wo Railed towards thu south,
thu courso of which voyage wns ns fol
lowsi
Our courso lay through thu Fortunate
Islands, as they wero formerly called, hut
now nro styled thu Groat Canary Islands,
which are In the third climate ami on thu
confines of tho Inhabited west. Thenco
through the (K'ean, wo skirted thu whole
shore of Africa and n part of F.thioplu,
an far as thu Ethiopian promontory, ns It
Is culled by Ptolemy, hut by us Capo
Verdu, and from Kthiopla and tho Man
dliigha laud it dog. within the ton id .one
from the equinoctial line (equator) toward
tho north, whli'h legion Ih Inhabited by
black riu'CH. Them, our strength being
refreshed, and with necessarleM for our
voyage, wo raised anchor, spread our
kiiIIh to thu wind, ami dlrectlngourcourso
through tho vast ocean for u short dis
tance tnwnnl tho Antarctic olo, wo then
Im'IiI our courso to thu westward through
thu wind which Ih called thu Vultiirnus
(southeast wind), ami from thu day on
which wo departed from the iiImivo men
tioned promontory wo sailed forthospaco
of two mouths and threo days lief ore any
laud appeared, hut In thu vastness of tho
sea what wosulTiired, what perils of ship
wreck, what torments of loily wo sus
tained, and under what anxieties of
mind we luhored, I leave to tho Imagina
tion of those who through oxcrlcucoof
many nlTalrs can last understand what it
Is to seek out uncertain things and
I n vest Iga to things of which thoy
may Ih Ignorant. That you may un
derstand everything In a word, know
that out of sIxty-Hoven days in which
wo Hailed, wo had forty-four continuous
ilays of rain, thunder and lightning,
ilajs so dark that wo could neither see
the sun by day nor n sereno sky at
night. From which it happened that ho
great fear ciituo uioii us that wo had al
ready cast aside all hope of life. Hut in
these ho many nnd ho great tompests of
thu sea nnd of tho sky, It pleased thu
Most High to show unto us the conti
nent, tho new regions, nnd tho unknown
world. Which things being seen wo
were lllled with im great joy as It Is pos
sible to bo conceived by those who, out
of various calamities and adverse fort
une, havo obtained safety. Hut on tho
7th day of August, in thu year 1501, wo
cast anchor on tho shores of those re
gions, giving thanks unto our Cod with
solemn supplications and with thu cele
bration of a mass. Thero wo recognized
tho laud to Ihi not an island, hut a conti
nent, because it stretched out with very
long coasts not to Imj circumnavigated,
ami is lllled up with numberless inhab
itants. For on this continent wo discov
ered Innumerable races mid peoples, mid
nil tho species of forest animals which
nro found in our regions, and many other
species never seen by us boforo, concern
ing which it would Ih) a long story for
mo to describe individually.
Many things thu inoroy of Oodjo.

ii8,J?i!ii w" wero ablo to preserve our
''vert"o!i tho Bea only n fow days more.
To Himself bo the honor nnd glory nnd
tho exerciso of His grace.
Wo adopted tho plan of sailing nlong
tho shore of this continent toward thu
eastward, without leaving thu sight of
laud, and afterwards wo ran along this
shore to n point whero wo came to an
angle when tho coast made a turn to thu
south, mid from that place where wo
first touched land up to this angle there
was a distance of about 1)00 leagues. In
thu sjiacu of this voyago wo several
times descended to tho land nnd con
versed in a friendly manner with that
people, as you shall hear below.
I had forgotten to write that from tho
promontory at Capo Verde up to the
commencement of this continent, thero
are about 700 leagues, mid I should esti
mate that we had sailed moro than 1,800
leagues, partly on account of the admi
ral's ignorance of the place mid partly
by tho tempests and winds, which im
peded our direct courso and drove us
into frequent deviations. Hut If my com
panions had not turned to me, who un
derstood cosmography (there was no ad
miral or commander of our voyage who
know within 500 leagues whero wo were),
wo wero lost and wandering; moreover,
the instruments only showed accurately
the elevation of tho heavenly bodies, mid
these were the quadrant mid tho astrola
be, as all wero aware. I lenco afterwards
thoy all Iwstowed upon mo much honor;
for I showed unto them that without n
uiariuu chart, in the science of naviga
tion I was more skillful than all tho ad
mirals in tho world. For these admirals
have no knowledgo except of those
places which they havo visited frequent
ly in their voyages.

TtlK TAIL 1'IUCE.
Dut whoro tho above mentioned nnglo
of tho laud showed to us a turning of
the Bhoro toward tho south, we agreed
to Ball beyond it, and scarcii out what
might bo iu thoso regions. Wo pro
ceeded along tho coast about six hundred
leagues, ami often disembarked on the
land nnd talked mid conversed with thu
inhabitants of those regions, and by
them wore rec iveil kindly, ami by them
selves, whenever we would remain
fifteen or twenty days together, wero
amicably and hospitably entertained, aa
you will learn below.
A part of tliis now continent is in tho
torrid zone, beyond the equinoctial lino
(equator) toward the antarctic iolo, for
thu head of it begins iu tho eighth degree
beyond the equinoctial lino (equator)
itself. We sailed along bo much of this
coast, that the tropic of Capricorn hav
ing been passed, wo found the antarctic
polo 50 degs. higher than their horizon,
and we were near to tho antarctic circle,
as far as tho latitude of 17J degs., and
what there I saw and learned concern
ing the character, habits andtractabillty
of those races, the fertility of the noil,
the salubrlouHiiesH of tho nir, and the ar
rangement of the heavenly bodies, and
especially concerning thu fixed stars, and
thu eight spheres never before been or
considered by our ancestors, I will speak
of later.

First, then, ns to the peoples so far nn
wo nniiii) upon the multitude of tho race
in those regions so great that no man
could count them, as we read in
tho Aiocalypso, I call thu race gentlo
mid (metallic. All members of lxth
races approach each other linked mid
covering no part of the hotly, and even
ns they coinu Into tin' woilil ho do they
go unto the time of their death.
For they have large bodies with llgures
square and shoulders well proportioned,
nnd n color Isirtlerlug on redness, which
I think happens to tlieiu because from
going aUiut naked they are tunned with
thuHiin. They lac thfc'k, black hair.
In their gait, is)ieli!'ly In their sports,
they are agile niitl ei sy, and of a comely
countenance, which, however, they mar,
for they pieice the cheekH, tho lips, the
nose mid the ear; nor would you think
these holes to bo small eras largo us they
are. For I have seen some of them who
hail in their face alone seven holes, tiny
one of which was as large us a hiuiiII
plum. They stop up these holes with
pieces of crystul resilnbllng innrblo and
lilts of alabaster, which picci'H nro very
beautiful, nuil also with lilts of glitter
ing white Ikiiio mid other substances,
skillfully carved according to their cus
tom. Hut If you could see anything ho
Htriinge nnd monstrous a man, forsooth,
having In Ids cheeks and in his lips
seven stones, some of them half us long
again as your hand, you would not ho
without astonishment; for oftentimes
have I considered and thought that seven
such HtoucH would weigh sixteen ounces
anil more. In each ear, pierced with
three holes, they are accustomed to carry
other iMjndaut stones in rings, mid this
custom is peculiar to the men, for tho
women do not perforate the face, hut
only tho ears.
They do not have garments or cloaks
linen or silk because they are not
necessary to them, nor do they possess
Individual property, hut all things nro
owned iu common. They live ut the same
tlmo without a king, without a govern
ment, and each man is u law unto him
self. They havo as many wives ns they
pleaso, nnd the son marries his mother,
mid thu brother with his sister, and tho
llrst man the llrst woman wherever ho
meets her. Ah often ns they wish they
break up their marriages, ami iu these
matters observe no rule. Moreover, they
havo no temple and no law, nor are thoy
Idolaters. What can I say more? They
live according to nature, nnd may he
called epicureans rather than stoics.
Among them there nro no traders nor Is
thero any exchange of goods. Tho tribes
carry on war among themselves without
art or recognized rules. Tho elders in
certain public assemblies of their own
turn the young men to whatever courso
thoy desire. They nro also eager for
wars in which they JdlLrjJ; Sllu. filth
cruelty, J'.r,t those whom they have mado
Ctptivcs iu battle they preservo for kill
ing, not for tlie sake of their lives, but
for the puriHise of food. For sometimes
one side nnd sometimes the other is vic
torious, and cat up the vanquished, nnd
among them human flesh is a common
artlclo of food.
Of this fact you may bo certain, bo
cause already a father has been known
to'ent up his sons and his wives', and I
myself havo known and talked with u
man whom they used to report had par
taken of more than threo hundred human
IxkIIcs; besides I spent twenty-Boven days
in a certain town where I saw in the
houses human tlcsh salted and hung
from tho celling, just as it is the custom
among us to hang bacon nnd pork. I
Bay further, that thoy wonder why wo
don't eat our enemies, mid do not use
their tlcsh as food, which tlesh thoy de
clare to bo most savory.
The limitation of space compels tho
cutting short of the letter at this point.
Hut what an interesting story the Italian
voyager tells! Even in its (plaint lan
guage it reads as well as Stanley's latest
letter upon Central Africa. It is but lit
tle wonder that his admirers changed his
name nnd called him Amerlcus rather
than Albericus Vcspuccius iu honor of
tho Now World ho had discovered.

Cliliu'so Literature.
San Fuancisco, Jan. IU. Tito work of
missionaries outside of their strictly re
ligious Held has not received the atten
tion it deserves. To them wo aro in
debted for much valuable knowledge of
wild countries, and still more for re
ports on the religion, habits and philoso
phy of other races. Especially is tills
true of China, for there iu so little gen
eral interest iu such matters that but for
the missionaries we should have remain
ed much longer iu ignorance of Chinese
philosophy.
Tho only foreigners making any effort
to acquire the Chinese language are the
missionaries, and it is duo to such men
ns Williams and Leggo that the doctrines
of Confucius mid the teachings of Budd
hism havo been exhumed from their
deep oblivion and sot up iu readable lan
guage. It is hero, more than in any
thing else, that the work of these men is
manifest. Through years of ceaseless
toil of Dr. Leggo, tho metaphysical and
ethical writings of Menclus havo been
placed alongside of Bacon and Plato and
Moses.
The literature of Buddhism likewise
shows deep thought mid n&cctiu piety,
and has marked tho founders and ex
ponents of that ancient religion. (Jems
of literature, poetry and proverbs havo
lieon brought to light by tho researches
of Christian scholars.
Whllo the general inlluenco of Euro
pean life has not tended to increase the
respect of tho Chinoso for our alleged
superior civilization and morality, yet it
is true that the literary research of mis
siouaiies has done much toward bring
ing about a better understanding be
tween tho two races, by giving to each,
In their own language, the ideas mid
purpines of the other.
WiU'i increased shipping facilities and
a cou-cquent increasing commerce iu
China, nud with tho demoralizing and
enervating effects of opium upon her
people removed, there is yet hope for a
brighter future for that queer old couu-
