Book excerpt: Excerpt from Writings of Christopher Columbus: Descriptive of the Discovery and Occupation of the New World Europe and Asia. During the semi-barbaric and feudal times which succeeded the Roman empire this was Of especial value to the former, for the peace and knowl edge needed for arts and manufactures were slow to come, and it turned to the Older civilization for them, sending in exchange such few things as it possessed that Asia wanted, and eking out its balances with gold and silver. SO steadily had these been drained away from Europe during these stormy centuries that Asia was termed it the Golden East. The trade with this and Of jewels, precious metals, wondrous fabrics, and spices, was the most profitable Of the time, and enriched the centres Of distribution to a marvelous de gree. First Constantinople, then Amalfi, and finally Venice and Genoa, became rich and great by it. The routes through the Black Sea, Persian Gulf, and Red Sea, though involving caravans and transshipment, were sufficient; and from the Mediterranean the products were distributed over Europe with ease. Europe stood with its back to the west. All the interest and thought it could spare from its own concerns were centered in the east, and but for an accident would have so continued for an indefinite time. Yet so curiously are causes and effects blended that it was this very concen tration and intensity of interest that eventually led to the exploration of the great west.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery: A Narrative It is only in these latter days that such a book could have been written at all, for it is only since the fourth centenary Of the discovery of America that we have been able to rescue from the Oblivion of public and private archives, where they lay buried, documents throwing such light on Columbus that we are able at last really to know the great Genoese. Your book, which is addressed to a large public and to those who are interested in the broad outlines Of the figures presented to them and in the results Of their actions, does not enter into minute details nor furnish proofs of every fact that is stated that was not necessary to your purpose, and would have changed the character of your work. It was enough for your purpose that in everything Of general interest and necessary to the understanding of the facts there should be a foundation for all your assertions and this rule you have carefully observed. You have not fallen into the error, which so many others have not been able to avoid, Of ignoring the true date of Colum bus's birth - a date which was sufficiently known from the Old documents, and which a new document, cited by you in your appendix, has confirmed. You have not made Columbus a student at the University Of Pavia, wherein he never set foot; you have not represented this almost illiterate wool -weaver, who taught himself the little that he 'ever knew, in the ridiculous position of a doctor discussing point by point high questions of theology and cosmography with the professors Of the University Of Salamanca, then one Of the most celebrated in Europe. And there are many other particulars which you have touched with discretion, and without disre garding the results of the latest critical inquiries. Although you have not even yet credited Martin Alonso Pinzon with as large a part in the discovery of America as really belonged to him, you have had the courage to modify your original Opinion in the light Of fuller knowledge, and you have not repeated the absurd accusations so Often brought against him - accusations the source of which was Columbus himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery, Vol. 2: A Narrative The sight of the greater part of their fleet disappearing in the direction of home threw back the unstable Spanish colony into doubt and despondency. The brief encouragement afforded by Ojeda's report soon died away, and the actual discomforts of life in Isabella were more important than visionary luxuries that seemed to recede into the distance with the vanishing ships. The food supply was the cause of much discomfort; the jobbery and dishonesty which seem inseparable from the fitting out of a large expedition had stored the ships with bad wine and imperfectly cured provisions; and these combined with the unhealthy climate to produce a good deal of sickness. The feeling against Columbus, never far below the Spanish surface, began to express itself definitely in treacherous consultations and plots; and these were fomented by Bernal Diaz, the comptroller of the colony, who had access to Columbus's papers and had seen the letter sent by him to Spain. Columbus was at this time prostrated by an attack of fever, and Diaz took the opportunity to work the growing discontent up to the point of action.
