amount of material. The inventory is so unreliable that it does not seem de¬ 
sirable to list this correspondence. 
The following American document seems to exist alone: 
1196 . “ Carteggio Sovrano con la Republica di Lucca . . . Stati Uniti d’Ame- 
rica ”, etc., filza 19, no. 5. Letter of James Madison to the Grand 
Duke, congratulating him on his restoration, Nov. 20, 1815. Orig¬ 
inal. Copies of the letter of the Grand Duke announcing his restora¬ 
tion, and to the Marchese Ghisilieri, thanking him for forwarding 
the letter of President Madison. 
Of possible importance are the following: 
Buste 1505-1540 ( 2104 - 2139 , old numbers). Relations with consuls, etc., 
in foreign countries, 1832-1851. 
Manoscritti Torrigiani. These manuscripts are very fully described in a 
work published in 1878. 4 They contain many registers of letters written by 
Pietro Ardinghelli, while serving as secretary of state under the direction of 
Cardinal Giulio de’ Medici, which are, therefore, properly archives of the 
papacy. There are eleven such registers, extending from Mar. 4, 1515, to 
Dec. 23, 1520; and other volumes of bulls, briefs, treaties, instructions, etc. 
These were not examined, and one would judge from the character of similar 
material elsewhere, that they contain nothing, but they must be searched be¬ 
fore an absolute negative can be given. 
Other Collections in the Archivio. The Royal Columbian Commission, 
Raccolta di Documenti e Studi, volume III., notes items in the Strozziana, 
dlza 129 , A. 26, and in the Riformazioni , Died di Balia, filza 24 , C. 183 ; 5 but 
these and other collections were not examined for the purpose of this study. 6 
Among the maps there was noted number 15 , including, with Europe and 
northern Africa, “ America, parte di Terranova, Florida ”, etc.; Membr., M.
