9565 . ff. 125-153. From a report on all dioceses subject to the Propaganda, 
of about 1839. These pages concern America. The reports con¬ 
sist of outlined blanks filled in, and are mostly statistical. Note is 
made of the importance of the Associazione Leopoldina of Vienna, 
for America. P. 143, on Santo Domingo: “ La trattativa degli af- 
fari di Religione de quest’ Isola e stata trasferita da quel che anno

10364 . “ Differenza fra l’lnghilterra e le Colonie dell’ America.” 436 pp. 
From the Visconti collection, where it was numbered 79 A. This 
volume consists of extracts and summaries of such news and docu¬ 
ments relating to America as the collector, Mgr. Lazzari, was able 
to gather, forming a sort of diary of the Revolution. The work is 
well done, but the collector’s opportunities were not such as to bring 
him anything of unique interest, 
pp. 1-3. Convention government in Massachusetts, 
pp. 3-20. Congress at Philadelphia, 
pp. 20-26. Treaty of peace with the Indians, 
pp. 27-30. Battle of Kenhawa. 
pp. 31-34. Battle of Oct. 10, 1774, on the Ohio. 
pp. 42-63. Concern of English manufacturers and merchants in the 
contest with the colonies, etc. 
Not examined but of possible interest are the following: 
9427 . Instructions to nuncios during the sixteenth and seventeenth cen¬ 
turies. These are partly originals bearing manuscript corrections. 
9435 . A relation of France. 1570. 
VISCONTI COLLECTION . 10 
This collection was acquired by Leo XIII., in 1888. It has been assimilated 
with the Biblioteca Vaticana, but the inventory listing the volumes with their 
new numbers is not yet ready. There exists, however, an “ Elenco di Manu- 
scritti e Carte appartenenti alia Eredita del Barone P. E. Visconti ”, prepared 
at the time it was offered for sale. 
The following numbers were noted as of possible pertinence: 
28 . Income and expenditure of the Camera Apostolica. 1672-1690. 
79 A. See Biblioteca Vaticana 10364 . 
127 . Minutes of letters of the nuncio in Spain. 1621. 
145 . Letters (62) of cardinals, bishops, nuncios and other prelates, to 
Cardinal Giulio Rospigliosi, later Clement IX.
