FOOTNOTES:
[1] Egypt may perhaps afford an exception; but it is probable that the germs of its civilization came from Asia. All its relations are essentially Asiatic.
[2] It is likely that some part of the Aryan folk found their way to the Pacific shore in Corea and elsewhere; but the Aryan migrations setting to the East must have been uncommon, and the chance of Caucasian blood reaching America by this route small.
[3] I have elsewhere (Introduction to the _Memorial History of Boston_) noticed the fact that this difficulty in clearing the glaciated soils led the early settlers of New England to use the poorer soils first. Along the shore and the rivers there is a strip of sandy terrace deposits, the soils of which are rather lean, but which are free from boulders, so that the labor of clearing was relatively small. All, or nearly all, the first settlements in the glaciated districts were made on this class of soils.
[4] The slow progress of our agricultural exports during the first two hundred years of the history of this country, is in good part to be explained by the stubborn character of the soil which was then in use. The only easily subdued soils in use before 1800 were those of Virginia and Maryland. The sudden advance of the export trade in grain during the last fifty years marks the change which brought the great areas of non-glaciated soils of the Mississippi Valley and the South under cultivation.
[5] It is an interesting fact that while America has given but one domesticated animal to Europe, in the turkey, it has furnished a number of the most important vegetables, among them maize, tobacco, and the potato. The absence of strong domesticable animals in America doubtless affected the development of civilization among its indigenous people. The buffalo is apparently not domesticable. The horse, which seems to have been developed on North American soil, and to have spread thence to Europe and Asia, seems to have disappeared in America before the coming of man to its shores. The only beast which could profitably be subjugated was the weak vicuna, which could only be used for carrying light burdens. But for the help given them by the sheep, the bull, and the horse, we may well doubt if the Old-World races would have won their way much more effectively than those of America had done.
[6] See for special information on these points the _Investigations in the Military and Anthropological Statistics of American Soldiers_. By Benjamin Apthorp Gould, Cambridge, 1869, p. 655. It is impossible to give here any sufficient extracts from this voluminous report. The reader is especially referred to chapters viii., ix., and x., for confirmation of the general statements made above.

* Slave States, not including Kentucky and Tennessee.
[7] The following statement concerning the history of this brigade during the campaign of 1864 was given me by my friend, General Fayette Hewett, who was adjutant of the command:—
“On the 7th of May, 1864, the Kentucky Brigade marched out of Dalton 1140 strong. The hospital reports show, that, up to September 1, 1,850 wounds were taken by the command. This includes the killed; but many were struck several times in one engagement, in which case the wounds were counted as one. In two battles over 51 per cent of all engaged were killed or wounded. During the whole campaign there were not more than ten desertions. The campaign ended with 240 men able to do duty; less than 50 were without wounds.”
[8] It is worth while to notice that this Dutch colony never had the energetic life of the English settlements, which may be in part attributed to the effort to fix the Continental seigniorial relations upon the land. It failed here as it failed in Canada, but it kept both colonies without the breath of hopeful, eager life which better land-laws gave to the English settlements. Nothing shows so well the perfect unfitness of all seigniorial land-systems to the best development of a country as the entire failure which met all efforts to fix it in American colonies.

Shea’s _Charlevoix_, i. 107.—ED.
[12] [Cattle, which many years later were found on Sable Island, were supposed to be descendants of some which Léry landed there. Lescarbot, _Nouvelle France_, 1618, p. 21, is said to be the only authority for this expedition. Cf. Shea’s _Charlevoix_, i. 107; Kohl, _Discovery of Maine_, p. 203; D’Avezac in _Nouvelles Annales des Voyages_, 1864, vol. iii. p. 83; _Harper’s Monthly_, xxxiv. 4.—ED.]

[18] _Paesi nouamente retrouati, et nouo Mondo da Alberico Vesputio Florentino intitulato._ The volume has often been catalogued under the name of Vespucius (the only name that appears upon its titlepage). It has been ascribed to Zorzi on the authority of a note by Humboldt in his _Examen critique_, iv. 79. Harrisse, in describing the book (_Bibliotheca Americana vetustissima_, no. 48, pp. 96^d-99), accepted this statement; but in the Appendix to the volume, at p. 469, he says that M. d’Avezac has pointed out that Zorzi collected only some additional manuscript matter in a copy in the Magliabechian Library. Harrisse, therefore, in the _Additions_ to his _Bibliotheca_, published in 1872, reinserts the title (no. 26, pp. 34-38), and credits the volume to Montalboddo. There is a copy in Harvard College Library, dated Nov. 17, 1508, which is supposed to be of the second edition. The work was translated into French, German, Dutch, and Latin. There is a bibliography of the book in the papers on “Ptolemy’s Geography,” _sub anno_ 1511, in the _Bulletin of Harvard University_, 1882-1883. [Cf. Vol. II. Index, and _Bib. Am. Vet.

[See Vol. II. on the bibliography of Galvano—ED.]
[29] I cite from the third edition, published at Lisbon in 1749, apparently an exact reprint of an earlier one. Its title reads: _Chronica de serenissimo senhor Rei D. Manoel, escritas por Damião de Goes_. A copy is in the Boston Public Library.
[30] _De rebus Emmanuelis, regis Lusitaniæ virtute et auspiciis gestis ... libri duodecim._ Folio. Cologne, 1571. There were several editions of this work (1581, 1597, etc.), and it was translated into French quite early; into Dutch in 1661-1663; into English by James Gibbs in 1752, and into Portuguese in 1804. Harvard College Library has a copy of the edition of Cologne, 1586, which contains, in addition to the History, a long Preface and Commentary by Metellus Sequanus about the discoveries and navigations of the Spanish and Portuguese.

He thinks that it may have been written by Pierre Mauclerc, the astronomer of the “Sacre,” one of Parmentier’s vessels; but MM. d’Avezac and Margry attribute it to Pierre Crignon, who was also of Parmentier’s company. See Introduction to the _Bref Récit_ of Jacques Cartier, p. vii; and Margry’s _Les Navigations Françaises_, pp. 130, 199. The Journal of the Sumatra voyage was found by M. Estancelin among the papers of a M. Tarbé at Sens, who inherited it from his brother, a merchant at Rouen; see _Recherches_, pp. 191, 192. M. Harrisse (_Jean et Sébastien Cabot_, pp. 301-303) describes two other manuscripts relating to Parmentier’s voyage, the more important of which will be published in the series of Voyages of which the Cabot is the first volume. Cf. Murphy, _Verrazzano_, p. 85; Hakluyt, _Westerne Planting_, p. 197.

[46] Pages 197-228. It is also reprinted by Murphy in his _Verrazzano_, and by Conway Robinson in his _Discoveries_. The Italian was given in 1853 in the _Archivio Storico Italiano_, v. ix, Appendix, with an essay on Verrazano by Arcangeli.
[47] Lescarbot, Charlevoix, and others speak of it. The earliest French mention in print is said to be that of Belleforest, in his _Histoire universelle du monde_, 1570. It was repeated in his 1575 edition; and more at length in his _Cosmographie universelle de tout le monde_. Ribault, whose expedition took place in 1562, and Laudonnière (1564-1565) both speak of it. But the work of the latter was not printed until 1586, and it has been supposed that the _editio princeps_ of Ribault is the English translation published in 1563. Hakluyt’s statement, in his _Discourse concerning Westerne Planting_ (Maine Historical Society, 2d ser., ii. 20), that Ribault’s narrative was “extant in printe bothe in Frenche and Englishe,” makes it quite possible, however, that the mention in Belleforest is not the earliest printed one. Cf. Shea’s _Charlevoix_, i. 107.
Among the English authors Hakluyt should be particularly mentioned. He speaks in the Dedication of his _Divers Voyages_ (Hakluyt Society’s ed., p. 11) of Verrazano having been “thrise on that coast” [the American], and of an “olde excellent mappe which he gaue to king Henrie the eight;” giving also a representation of Lok’s map, made “according to Verazanus plat.” In his _Discourse on Westerne Planting_, first published by the Maine Historical Society in 1877, he says (pp. 113, 114): “There is a mightie large olde mappe in parchemente, made, as yt shoulde seme, by Verarsanus ... nowe in the custodie of Mr. Michael Locke;” and again, of “an olde excellent globe in the Queenes privie gallory at Westminster, which also semeth to be of Verarsanus makinge.”
Herrera condenses the account of the voyage from the letter published by Ramusio; De Barcia (_Ensayo chronologico para la historia general de la Florida_, 1723) also gives it. This latter identifies Verrazano with the corsair, Juan Florin. Dr. Kohl gives an interesting account of Verrazano’s voyage, with a valuable Appendix on maps, in the eighth chapter of his _Discovery of Maine_.

An English translation of Pigafetta is in Pinkerton’s _Collection of Voyages_, London, 1808-1814, vol. xi. p. 288 _et seq._ [Cf. the chapter on Magellan in Vol. II.—ED.]

[121] _Les singularitez de la France antarctique, autrement nommée Amerique; & de plusieurs terres & isles découvertes de nostre temps. Par F. André Thevet, natif d’Angoulesme._ 4to. Paris, 1558. [Copies are worth between three and four hundred francs,—Maisonneuve in 1881 pricing it at 400 francs. Quaritch held a copy in 1883 at so high a price as £60. The cuts are well done, and Gaffarel thinks them the work of Jean Cousin.—ED.] _La cosmographie vniverselle d’André Thevet, cosmographe dv roy. Illustrée de diuerses figures des choses plus remarquables vevës par l’auteur, et incogneües de noz anciens & modernes._ 2 vols., folio, Paris, 1575. It has 204 pages on America; cf. _Carter-Brown Catalogue_, vol. i. no. 599. Mr. Brevoort says that he has a copy of the _Singularitez_ with the date 1557; see his _Verrazano_, p. 112. [Another copy of this date (1557) is shown in the _Huth Catalogue_, vol. iv. p. 1464, which says that its collation agrees with Brunet’s collation of the copies dated 1558. A copy of the 1557 date brought $17 in Boston in 1844. Both books are in the Astor Library.—ED.]
[122] [Published at Anvers, 1558. The cuts are but poor copies of those in the Paris edition; cf. Bernard’s _Geofroy Tory_, Paris, 1865, p. 320. Leclerc thinks it rarer than the Paris edition of the same year, because Ternaux does not mention it. (_Brinley Catalogue_, vol. i. no. 150.) Harvard College Library has this edition, which Quaritch prices at £7 7_s._—ED.]
