Venetian Calendars, i. 260. These papers were for the first time printed in America by the American Antiquarian Society, in their Proceedings for October, 1866, in an interesting communication from the Rev. Edward E. Hale, D.D., principally relating to the Cabot voyages. [Mr. Rawdon Brown, who calendared these papers, made his discoveries the subject of a paper on the Cabots in the Philobiblion Society’s Collections, ii. 1856; and in the preface to the first volume of the Venetian Calendars, A.D. 1202 to 1509, he describes the archives at Venice, which yield these early evidences. The late Professor Eugenio Albèri edited at Florence Le Relazioni degli Ambasciatori Veneti al Senato durante il Seclo xvio, in fifteen volumes, which contain numerous reports of English transactions at that time.—Ed.]
