Note 407 — Chapter I

W. S. Blackett, Researches into the lost histories of America; or, the Zodiac shown to be an old terrestrial map in which the Atlantic isle is delineated, etc. (London, 1883), p. 31, 32. The work is not too severely judged by W. F. Poole, in the Dial (Chicago), Sept. 84, note. The author’s reasons for believing that Atlantis could not have sunk are interesting in a way. The Fourth Rept. Bur. of Ethnology (p. 251) calls it “a curiosity of literature.”
