Note 654 — Chapter II
Reading edition
The best list is in P. B. Watson’s “Bibliog. of Pre-Columbian Discoveries of America,” originally in the Library Journal, vi. 259, but more complete in Anderson’s America not discovered by Columbus (3d ed., Chicago, 1883). Cf. also Chavanne’s Literature of the Polar Regions; Th. Solberg’s Bibliog. of Scandinavia, in English, with magazine articles, in F. W. Horn’s Hist. of the lit. of the Scandinavian North (1884, pp. 413-500). There is a convenient brief list in Slafter’s Voyages of the Northmen (pp. 127-140), and a not very well selected one in Marie A. Brown’s Icelandic Discoverers. Poole’s Index indicates the considerable amount of periodical discussions. The Scandinavian writers are mainly referred to by Miss Brown and Mrs. Bull.
