Excerpt from A Catalogue of Books Relating to the Discovery and Early History of North and South America, Vol. 1: Forming a Part of the Library of E. D. Church, 1482-1590Thanks to the interest shown in this work by librarians of public libraries and private collectors, this Catalogue gives the location of other copies of the same books in about fifty libraries in this country, so that, in addition to being a catalogue of a single private collection, it is in a great measure a catalogue of the rarest works on American history to be found in the most important libraries in the United States and England, and to a lesser degree in some other countries.It is hoped that the errors which are inevitably bound to creep into a work involving such a multiplicity of details as are here given will be found neither numerous nor serious.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
