Note 7 — CHAP. II.
Reading edition
“The relations of A. Vespuccius contain the recital of two voyages, which he made upon the same coast (the Brazil), in the name of Emanuel, King of Portugal; but the dates are false, and it is in that which the imposture consists; for it is proved by all the cotemporary testimonies, that at the time which he names he was employed upon other expeditions.”—Hist. Gen. des Voyages, tom. 14. liv. 6. c. 9. Paris, 1757.
