The life of Christopher Columbus, from his own letters and journals and other documents of his time . hat the mainland had then been discov-ered ; but it is impossible to establish the claimof England on these terms. What is, however, more to the point, is a letterfrom Pasqualigo, a Venetian merchant, who says, writing to Venice, on the twenty-third of August, 1497, that Cabot had discovered the mainland atseven hundred leagues to the west, and had sailedalong it for a coast of three hundred leagues. Hesays the voyage was three months in length. Itwas made, then, between May and August, 1497.The evidence of this letter seems to show thatthe mainland of North America was really firstdiscovered by Cabot. The discussion, however, does not in the least detract from the merit due toColumbus for the great discovery. Whether hesaw an island or whether he saw the mainland, was a mere matter of what has been called land-fall by the seamen. It is admitted on all handsthat he was the leader in all these enterprises, andthat it was on his success in the first voyage thatall such enterprises followed.. INDEX.
