The Discoveries of America to the Year 1525
The Discoveries of America to the Year 1525, published in 1884, is Arthur James Weise's history of how Europeans came to know the New World. Weise begins with what ancient writers believed about lands beyond the western ocean, then follows the age of Marco Polo and the Portuguese voyages, the plans and expeditions of Columbus, the Cabots, the Spanish and Portuguese explorers of the southern coasts, Magellan, and the early French voyages to North America. He quotes the early narratives at length and pays close attention to the geography the navigators thought they were exploring, from Cipango to the cities of Cathay.
