Excerpt from Sebastian Cabot John Cabot

We confess that we cut the leaves of this beautiful book, from the Chiswick Press of Whittingham, with an eagerness that has seldom been ours. We read it through, and through, and through, and closed it with a profound disappoint ment which had never before been ours. We in ter leaved it delicately with our historic litmus-paper and endeavored to test its facts and inferences by the new lights and the new readings developed by the active research of our age. We had long hoped some day to find time with reverent hands to mouse round in old Bristol and discover some long hidden documents that might throw light on the honored family of the Cabots. Mr N ich olls, as a thorough-going antiquary, well versed in the grave-stone, cuddy-hole and garret lore of his city, has dispelled that hope.
