The preamble of the Capitulation consisted of an extensive religious discussion with which most of the state documents of this royal pair opened, but the several clauses of the contract dealing directly with the expedition consisted of a straightforward bargain between an adventurer and a pair of acquisitive princes who had territory and in creased revenues in mind.

This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Discovery and Conquest of the New World: Containing the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus Entering upon what would naturally be supposed a most arduous undertaking, the preparation of this Introduction, I became aware of the fact that the magnitude of the subjects, the exalted, unquestioned posi tion of Washington Irving, which had seemed to present insurmountable difficulties, actually facilitated the accomplishment of the object of my efforts. A very pigmy may introduce a giant - the faintest streak of light in the east is sufficient to herald the coming of the orb of day. The untutored wandering Arab of the Desert, the unlettered mariner of the deep, can with unfailing accuracy point out the grand constellations of the heavens. The existence of vast superiority in any of the creations of God, obviates the necessity of introduction; the natural appreciation in mankind of that towering above or surpassing all surrounding objects of like kind makes introduction supererogatory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Work of the Knights of Columbus The Knights of Columbus is primarily and essentially a fraternal society, but the order has never permitted itself to be circumscribed Within the narrow limits of insurance benefits and selfish social interests. It has from its very inception fostered and exercised that broader spirit of fraternity Which signalizes the history of the Knights of Columbus as a record of service ttod, to country, and to our fellow man. A new page of that history is being written. The story of the educational Work in Which the order has been engaged during the past four years is an interesting record of achievement. In the following report of the results that have been accomplished We do not profess to set forth completely their value to the order, to the N ation, and to the students Who have participated in the educational opportunities that We have offered. These results can not now be appraised in all their fullness, for, though they are in some degree immediate and tangible, in a larger sense they are of the future, and time alone can be their measure and their test.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geographical Conceptions of Columbus: A Critical Consideration of Four Problems One of the essential questions which Christopher Columbus was called upon to face in formulating his project for a westward voyage was that of the distance to be traversed between Europe and Asia. The Cir cumference of the globe being taken as the prob lem resolved itself into (i) the calculation of the length of a degree and (2) an estimate of the extension of Asia eastward. The present study is a discussion of the ideas of Columbus on these two points. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Voyages of Christopher Columbus: The Story of the Discovery of America, as Told by the Discoverer And this brings us to the second purpose Of our publica tion. The broad facts that constitute the history of the dis covery of the New World, are not and have never been a matter of controversy. There may be variations in minor details, but they affect neither the nature of the achievement nor the character of the hero. Winsor and Fisk, for instance discredit the romantic story of Columbus' reception by Fray Juan Perez at the convent of La Rabida, an incident which as told in Irving's pages, so moves and stirs the reader. But blot out the incident and neither the originality of Columbus' conception, nor his resourcefulness, skill, and learning as a navigator, neither his unwavering firmness of purpose, nor hisiii introduction.

Many a man who cuts a great figure in history is, after all, a poor specimen of humanity, slavishly following old ruts, destitute of any real originality, and remarkable only for some exaggeration of the commonplace. But in the case of Edmund Stonewall the world cannot be blamed for its ignorance, because, as I have already said, his story remains to be written, and hitherto it has been guarded as a profound secret.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Columbus Memorial Volume But regard the figure of Columbus from another point Of view, and we are struck at once by his many modern traits, and impressed with the close connection between his career and the course of modern science. Convinced of the correctness of his cosmographic views, neither the coldness of patrons nor the opposition of the world shook him in his convictions. Time itself did not dampen his ardor to test by experiment his scientific opinions. Is not this the spirit of the modern investigator? Four times Columbus braved the perils of the sea, and trusted himself to men more treacher ous than the ocean, to prove the correctness of 1115 theories. Can modern science produce more brilliant examples of courage and perseverance? In his methods Columbus, while true to the mediaeval principle of authority, appealed to observation and fact as arguments of decisive importance. If, to support his theories that the extent of ocean between the west of Africa and the Indies was slight as compared with thevastness of the Old continent, he cited Aristotle and Averroes, Esdras and Seneca, and if he founded his scheme largely on the authority of Cardinal Pierre d'ailly, it is also true that, both at Porto Santo and at Lisbon, from his sailor relatives, and the most experienced mariners of the day, he gathered facts, indicating the existence of fertile inhabited lands to the westward. Again and again he dwelt on the fact that carved wood, strange trees, unknown species of reeds, nay, the corpses of two men unlike any race of the Old World, had drifted from the west to the Azores. How could he have anticipated more signally the methods of the modern explorer? How modern, too, was Columbus' manner of deal ing with a phenomenon that might well have struck earlier mariners as an ill-boding prodigy - the continuous variation of the magnetic needle on his first voyage. The Genoese sailor sought an explanation in science and made it the starting point of improved navigation.
