" It is universally known to literary men as, in its oripnal form, one of the earliest histories of
this country, and certainly one of the best ever written by a foreigner. It has been constantly and
copiously used by every one who has, since its appearance, undertaken the history of this country.
In the course of the memoir prefixed to it, it is vindicated from the aspersions cast on it by Mr.
Bancroft, who, nevertheless, has derived from it a vast amount of the information and documentary
material of his own ambitious, able and extended work. It is issued in two volumes, and cannot
fail to ficd its way to every library of any pretensions.—A'ew York Courier and Eniparer.
