Andres Gonzalez). Historiadores Primitivos de las Indias Occidentales que junto traduxo en parte, y faco a luz, ilustrados con eruditas Notas, y copias Indices, el illustrissimo Señor D. Andres Gonzales Barcia, del Consejo, y Camara de S. M. Dividos en tres tomos, cuyo contenido se vera en el folio figuiente. 3 vols. folio. Madrid, año MDCCXLIX. 79 [Original Historical Memoirs of the West Indies, collected, and partly translated, for the formation of a clearer history; illustrated with learned Notes and copious Indices by the celebrated gentleman, Don Andreas Gonzales Barcia.] This collection of histories is rarely complete, the pieces having been printed separately and at different periods, and having each an independent pagination, were looked upon as complete in themselves. Many of them having been destroyed, it is believed that not more than one hundred complete copies now exist. The parts were not collected until after the death of the author, whch took place while they were passing through the press. Mr. Stevens says that it is difficult now to pronounce what constitutes a complete set, or in what order the parts should be arranged, as the printing occupied a period of more than twenty years. The copies sold by himself and in Leclerc's Sale, contained only the following parts: Vol. I. No. 1. Life of Columbus. By his Son Ferdinand. 128 pp. 2. Second, Third, and Fourth Relations of Cortez. 156 pp. 3. Three Relations of Alvarado and Godoy.— Sent to Cortez. 157-173 pp. 4. Oviedo's Natural History of the Index. 57+9 pp. 5.

Xeres, Conquest of Peru. 179-237+7 pp. In all 66 in number; but there is an error in pagination by which the Nos. from 210 to 228 are omitted. So that in fact the true number of pages is only 48. 3.

Ensayo Chronologico para la Historia general de la Florida. Contiene los descubrimientos, y principales sucesos, acaecidos en este Gran Reino, a los Espanoles, Franceses, Suecos, Dinemarqueses, Ingleses, y otras Naciones, entre si, y con los Indios: cuias Costumbres, Genios, Idolatria, Governio, Batallas, y As tucias, se refieren: y los Viages de algunos Capitanes y Pilotos por el Mar de el Norte, a buscar Paso a Oriente, o union de aquella Tierra con Asia. Desde el ano de 1512 que descubrio la Florida Juan Ponce de Leon, hasta el de 1722. Escrito por Don Gabriel de Cardenas Z Cano Dedicado al Principe Nuestro Senor. En Madrid, 1723. Folio, 20 prel. leaves, pp. 366+28 leaves Tabla. 80 [Memoirs, Chronological, for a General History of Florida; containing_the Discoveries, and the principal events which happened in that Great Kingdom, to the Spaniards, French, Swedes, Danes, English, and other Nations, not only among themselves, but with the Indians. The Customs, Genius, Idolatries, Government, Wars and Strategies of the Indians, as related by themselves. Of the Voyages of some Captains and Pilots, in search of a Passage from the North Sea to the East, or a junction of the land with Asia: from the year 1512, when Florida was discovered by Juan Ponce de Leon to that of 1722, written by Don Gabriel de Cardenas z Cano, Madrid, 1723.] Under this pseudonym, an anagram of his name, the learned Barcia, who edited the work, concealed his association with it. It is filled with the most valuable material relating to the Indians who once inhabited the vast territory claimed by the Spaniards under the title of Florida, reaching from the northern lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and covering nearly all the States united under the Federal Government. Almost all that we know of the character of some of the tribes which once inhabited this territory, and were swept from existance by the conquest of the Spaniards, is derived from Cabeca de Vaca, and Garcilaso de la Vega. In this work their relations of Florida are continued; among which the Narrative of the Sufferings of Father Jogues, a Jesuit Missionary to the Iroquois in the present State of New York, and the painful incidents of his final martyrdom will most interest those who examine them. Pages 205 to 217 are principally occupied with the relation of the Missions among the Hurons and Iroquois, and of the captivity and martyrdom of Fathers Jogues, Lalemande, Garnier, and Chabanal. Some partieulars of the wars of the Iroquois are given on pages 227 to 244, and throughout the work are found many details of Missions and visits to the Northern tribes, and of the long series of conflicts with them. The Chronological History of Florida is a continuation of La Florida del Inca. The learned and zealous historian Barcia was not only the author of the works attributed to him under his name, Historiadores Primitivos de las Indias Occidentales (Primitive History of the West Indies, South America), and Ensayo Chronologico para la Historia de la Florida (Chronological Essays towards the History of Florida) but he was the editor of a vast mass of historical works, which had become rare even in his day. They consisted of the following books, which will be found under their authors' names in this Catalogue. TORQUEMADA. Monarchia Indiana, in three folio volumes printed at Madrid in 1723. GARCILASO DE LA VEGA. Primera parte de los Commentarios, Reales Origen de HERERA. Historia General. Eight decades, in four folio vols. Madrid, 1726. Barcia's works, original and edited, therefore fill 19 volumes. Rich says that copies of all these works were printed on fine paper with large margins, which are very rarely reunited in complete sets. Barcia's zeal in historical labors, was not exhausted in the reprinting and perpetuating rare works, for he collected a vast mass of books and manuscripts upon the history of America, which at his death met the usual melancholy fate of such re positories. He was to a great extent the author of his edition of the Bibliotheca Oriental y Occidental of Pineola, which was originally printed in one small quarto, but by Barcia's additions grew to three folios, of which the third is devoted to the titles of books and manuscripts relating to American history. Barcia's works did not escape sharp criticism in his own day. Salazar, the author of some dull volumes on the History of Spain and the Indies, printed a work entitled Crisis del Ensayo a la Historia de la Florida, which evinced more jealousy than merit.

Amstelodami, 1647. 83 [History of what happened during eighty years in Brazil under the command of the illustrious Count J. Mauritious of Nassau, and other commanders of the United Provinces.] Notwithstanding the great number of large and beautifully executed plates, which this costly volume contains, the principal value to us is to be found in the vocabulary of the language of the Indians of Chili on pp. 283 to 289, with some account of the natives. The work is a splendid specimen of typography and engraving. BARNARD (Thomas).

A sketch of the life of this Indian, with some traditions of his tribe, occupy the first eleven pages, the remaining thirteen pages are devoted to a Vocabulary and Grammatical Analysis of the language spoken by the Etchemins and Micmacs.

Almost the whole of the text as well as most of the sixteen plates are descriptive of the natives of Guiana, where the author resided. He gives us many new particulars regarding the Indians.
