The Discovery of America by
the Chinese.
From the Gentlemen's Magazine.

Was Columbus the first discoverer of
America, or did he only re-discover that
continent after it had, in remote ages
been found, peopled and forgotten by the
Old World 4? 1t is curious tnat this ques
sion has not been more generally raised
for 1t is very clear that one Of two things
must be true either the people whom
Columbus found in America must have
been descended from emigrants from the
Old World, and therefore America was
known to the Old World before Columbus
time or else the aborigines of the Yves
tern hemisphere were the result of spon
taneous human generation, the develop
ment of man from lower species of AMI
NAL, or descended from a second Adam
and Eve, whose origin would be equally
puzzling. Unless me are prepared to cast
aside the Holy Writ, and all our general
notions of the origin of the human race
we must believe that there was at one
time communication between the Old
World and the New.
Probably this communication took
plac on the opposite side of the world to
ours, between the eastern coast of Asia
and the side of America most remote from
Europe and believe it is quite possible
that the inhabitants of Eastern Asia NAV
have been aware of the existence of Amer
lea, and kept up intercourse with 1t while
our part of the Old World never dreamed
of its existence. The impenetrable barri-
or the Chinese were always anxious to
preserve between themselves and the rest
of the nations of the Old World, renders
it quite possible that they should have
kept their knowledge of America to
themselves, or, at any rate, from Europe.
The objection that the art of navigation
in such remote times was not sufficiently
advanced to enable the Chinese to cross
the Pacific and land on the western shore
of America is not conclusive, as we have
now found, that arts and sciences which
were once generally supposed to be OF
quite modern origin, existed in China
ages and ages before their discovery in
Europe The arts of paper making and
printing among others, had been practic.
ed in China long before Europeans had
