BY WILLIAM H. PBE3COTT, 



Author of the "History of Ferdinand and Isabella." 



Ready in October. 



This work will be founded on original documents, chiefly derived from 

 the Archives of the Royal Academy of History at Madrid, and the col- 

 lection of its President, Senor Navarrete, — the results of fifty y 

 researches in the public and private repositories of Spain and the Colo- 

 nies ; to which may be added other materials, obtained by th? author, 

 from Mexico, Paris, and London. The greater part of this collection 

 consists of official documents, correspondence of the parties, instructions 

 of the court, private journals, and contemporary memoirs, in manuscript, 

 and most of them unknown or inaccessible to all former historians.
