BY THE SAME AUTHOR
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS AND THE NEW WORLD OF HIS DISCOVERY.
With Frontispiece in colour by Norman Wilkinson. Portrait, Maps,
Illustrations, Appendices and a Note on the Navigation of Columbus's
First Voyage by the Earl of Dunraven, K.P. Large Post 8vo, cloth, gilt.
7_s._ 6_d._ net. (Third Edition.)
Mr. Henry Vignaud, late Secretary of the American Embassy and
distinguished historian of Columbus, says:
"_In this book the hero who discovered the New World is shown for the
first time as a living man.... A more true and lively picture of the
great discoverer than is contained in any other work._"
"Mr. Filson Young has done nothing better ... there is not a dull page
in the seven hundred. His descriptions of visible things, of streets and
hills, and seas and men, are vivid in his accustomed manner. His
narrative is rich and marching, yet sufficiently precise.... For the
modern taste there is really nothing about Columbus to compare with Mr.
Young's for matter and style."--_The Morning Post._
"If these volumes do not bring the figure of Columbus into closer
relation with the mind of the present generation, it must be because
people simply do not care to learn about anything that lies a few yards
beyond their own thresholds. Our hope, however, is better; and we
imagine that there will be a wide public for a narrative so fresh and
spirited.
"Mr. Filson Young tells his story, without turning to the right hand or
to the left, in a free and fluent fashion.... Very vigorous too are the
passages dealing with his voyages, for Mr. Filson Young has drunk deep
of the spirit of the sea and nowhere writes so well as in his account of
the seafarer's business in great waters.... The book abounds in
interludes of suggestive thought and clear, vigorous expression. But,
the book must be commended for the keen, eager spirit
