Sinopsis
Excerpt from Select Letters of Christopher Columbus: With Other Original Documents, Relating to His Four Voyages to the New World
It will be requisite, however, for the satisfaction of the reader, to enter more minutely into the history of each of these documents individually.
The first and by far the most interesting of the let ters is that addressed by Columbus from Lisbon, under date of the 14th of March, 1493, to Raphael Sanchez, treasurer to Ferdinand and Isabella, and describes the occurrences of his first great discovery. This letter, the only one of the number now published that has hitherto appeared in the English language, was trans lated very loosely and without comment in the Edin burgh Review for 1816.
It is not known whether the original, written by Columbus, in Spanish, be now in existence or not, but it is possible that it may still lie, like a dia mond in the mine, in some unexplored Archivo in Spain.
