Stran 121 - Columbum, virum utique dignum et plurimum commendandum, ac tanto negotio aptum, cum navigiis et hominibus ad similia instructis, non sine maximis laboribus et periculis ac impensis destinastis, ut terras firmas et insulas remotas et incognitas hujusmodi per mare ubi hactenus navigatum non fuerat, diligenter inquireret.
Stran 42 - Columbus was the first European who set foot in the new world which he had discovered. He landed in a rich dress, and with a naked sword in his hand. His men followed, and kneeling down, they all kissed the ground which they had so long desired to see. They next erected a crucifix...
Stran 121 - ... expensis destinastis ut Terras firmas et Insulas remotas et incognitas, hujusmodi per mare ubi hactenus navigatum non fuerat, diligenter inquireret. Qui tandem (Divino auxilio facta extrema diligentia in mari oceano navigantes) certas Insulas remotissimas, et etiam Terras firmas, quae per alios hactenus repertae non fuerant, invenerunt.

They even wormed their way into courts,...
Stran 199 - first voyage, that is, the one made under the command of Hojeda, when this captain did not go to the new continent till subsequently to himself. Did he not know that such a publication could do no harm to his glory, since it was impossible for him to foresee that facts would be falsified after his death.
Stran 70 - Introductio, insuper quatuor Americi Vespucii navigationes,' which name Apian, Vadianus and Gamers have since widely spread through Strasburg, Friburg and Vienna, while the prodigious celebrity of the little book of Apian has propagated the evil, by innumerable editions, in Holland and elsewhere." But from whatever source, and with whatsoever design, originated the appellation of America, contemporary historians did not so entitle the new continent, nor is the name inscribed upon any chart or map...
Stran 6 - Critical Examination of the history of the Geography of the New Continent, and of the Progress of Nautical Astronomy in the 15th and 16th Centuries.
Stran 6 - ... confusion the verities and falsehoods of history. "Previously to the year 1825, the discussions which appeared concerning the new continent were rather matters of mere erudition than historical treatises upon positive facts. But then was brought forth one of the most important memorials of modern times, which shed a new light upon many points of the highest interest, and opened to the world documents hitherto unedited, of great value, respecting the earliest stages of discovery of the new continent....
Stran 68 - ... who spread abroad their fabulous accounts, to gain credit with the merchants, by flattering their avarice, and piqued the curiosity of the common people, always so greedy of novelty. They even wormed their way into courts, where they met with favour and protection." "The history of forgers of all sorts of memorials would form by itself an immense collection of volumes, and especially the history of those belonging to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in which would appear a number of savans...
