About This Item
Text is clean and unmarked in a square and tight binding. Volume is over one hundred years old, and the text block edges show age-toning. There is a small, closed tear at the top of page 149. A corner crease is present at the edge of the back free end paper. "Immediately on his arrival, Columbus dispatched a courier to the king and queen of Spain with tidings of his discovery. He wrote also to the king of Portugal...requesting permission to go with his vessel to Lisbon...To prevent any misunderstanding as to the nature of his voyage, he assured the king that he had not been on the coast of Guinea, nor to any other of the Portuguese colonies, but had come from Cipango and the extremity of India, which he had discovered by sailing to the West."
