Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of Christopher Columbus That which Columbus tells us about his studies is nearly all that we know about the mat ter. One of his letters to Ferdinand and Isa bella shows us that to the theories of the period he joined an experience of twenty-three years of navigation, that he had seen all the Levant, the Occ1dent and the North; that he had Visited Eng land and made several voyages to Lisbon and the coasts of Guinea. He also speaks himself of an excursion that he made to Chios, and of an expo dition to Tunis of which he was given charge by King Rena of Anjou. But of all these divers voyages we possess no pre01se information suf ficient to fix the dates, still less the Circum stances. His son does indeed state that Columbus was at Lisbon in 1470, but he neglected to go into. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of Columbus: A Monograph In 1821, Peschiera, commissioned by the city of Genoa to carve a bust which was to stand on a shrine inclosing various autograph papers Of Columbus, according to Irving, discarded all portraits known to him, and drew his ideal from ancient descriptions of the great Admiral. His effort gave no permanent satisfaction. His handiwork was ere long supplanted by a second bust, and that in a few years by a third. This three-headed Columbus deserves the name of Cerberus at least a consecutive, if not a simultane ous, Cerberus.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christopher Columbus, His Portraits and His Monuments, Vol. 2: A Descriptive Catalogue Although Columbus twice mentioned in his voluminous will that he was a native of Genoa, a dozen places still claim the honor of his birth, and several of them offer plausible evidence. Nothing is certain about his parentage, and his age is the subject of 'serious dispute. The same doubt that encircles his birth and his burial attends the various portraits that pretend to portray his features. The most reliable authorities (and the subject has been under discussion for two centuries) agree in the opinion that the face of Columbus was never painted or sketched or graven during his life. His portrait has been painted, like that of the Madonna, and those of the saints, by many famous artists, each depend ent upon the verbal descriptions given of the man by contemporaneous writers, and each conveying to the canvas his own conception of what the great seaman's face must have been; but it may not be said that any of the portraits are genuine, and it is believed that all of them are more or less fanciful.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life Christopher Columbus A series of volumes, upon the Pioneers and Patriots of America, would certainly be defective if they did not contain an account of the adventures of Christopher Columbus, the most illustrious of all the pioneers of the New World. Columbus had his enemies. He has been vehemently assailed. The writer has endeavored to give a perfectly correct account of his character and career, and has been careful to present to the reader his authority for every important statement. Many may think that the assaults upon his character do not deserve so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Christopher Columbus written by Charles Kendall Adams and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christopher Columbus: His Life and His Work The researches of this acute critic in the manuscript records, as well as in the published writings of Italy and Spain, make his works indispensable to a correct understanding of the age of Columbus. I have not, however, been able to adopt without reservation his views in regard to the work attributed to the son of the Admiral. The force of Harrisse's reasoning is unquestionable; but, as it seems to me, there is internal evidence that the author of the book, whether Fernando or not, had unusual opportunities for knowledge in regard to the matters about which he wrote. While, therefore, I have used the work with great caution, I have not felt justified in rejecting it as altogether spurious. The reader will not go far in the perusal of this volume without perceiving that I have endeavoured to emancipate myself from the thraldom of that uncritical admiration in which it has been fashionable to hold the Discoverer, ever since Washington Irving threw over the subject the romantic and bewitching charm of his literary skill. Irving revealed the spirit with which he wrote when he decried what he was pleased to call "that pernicious erudition which busies itself with undermining the pedestals of our national monuments."

Download or read book The Century of Columbus Classic Reprint written by James Joseph Walsh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Century of Columbus In a previous book, The Thirteenth Greatest of Centuries, I described the period of human activity in which, as it appears to me, more was accomplished that is of significance in the expression of what is best in man and for the development of humanity than during any corresponding period of the world's history. To many people it may now seem that I am setting up a rival to the Thirteenth Century in what is here called The Century of Columbus, the period from 1450 to 1550. I may as a foreword say, then, that there is no thought of that and that I still feel quite sure that the Thirteenth is the Great est of Centuries, though it must be admitted that probably more supremely great men were at work in Columbus' Cen tury than in the preceding period. The Thirteenth Century is greatest, however, because its achievements were more widely diffused in their influence and because more of man kind had the opportunity and the incentive to bring out the highest that was in them, than at any other period in the world's history. As a consequence a greater proportion of mankind was happy than ever before or since, for happiness comes only with the consciousness of good work done and the satisfaction of personal achievement. And that is the greatest period of human history when man is the happiest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Modern Columbus After a heroic struggle, heartburnings, and the joys and sorrows (measles included) which are child hood's inheritance, I reached the ninth anniversary of my birth; and that was a red-letter day in my existence, for my mother very graciously presented me with a stepfather as a token of esteem and regard. This I did not hesitate to look upon as a flagrant breach of contract, having hoped to acquire a popgun or a catapult. Even something useful would have been more acceptable. Under these circumstances, the addition to the family circle created anything but a favourable impression upon the previous arrival, and arguments became more frequent and acrimonious in character, being conducted upon a triangular basis, of which triangle I was certainly not the apex.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus, Vol. 1: To Which Are Added Those of His Companions Being at Bordeaux, in the winter of 1825-6, I received a letter from my friend Mr. Alexander Everett, Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at Madrid, inviting me to visit that capital, and informing me, as an inducement to do so at an early period, that there was a work then in the press, edited by Don Martin Fernandez de Navarrete, Secretary of the Royal Academy of History, &c. &c. containing a collection of documents relative to the voyages of Columbus, among which were many of a highly important nature, recently discovered. Mr. Everett expressed an opinion that a version of the work into English, by one of our country, would be peculiarly desirable, and thought that it might furnish me with an interesting and agreeable occupation during my sojourn in the Spanish capital. I concurred with him in the opinion, and having for some time contemplated a visit to Madrid, I shortly after set off for that capital, with an idea of undertaking, while there, the translation of the work. Soon after my arrival, the publication of Mr. Navarrete made its appearance. I found it to contain many documents hitherto unknown, which threw additional lights on the discovery of the new world, and which reflected great credit on the researches of the learned editor. Still the whole presented rather a mass of rich materials for history, than a history itself. There were precious tracts for the mere man of research, but the sight of disjointed papers and official documents is apt to be repulsive to the general reader, who seeks for clear and connected narrative.
