York, we have four copies of the Elzevir
Library-fve cent pamphlet. One is
Shlpley's essay on the Full Significance of
| ing four hundredth anniversary of the dis
covery of America, and treats the subject
| from point of view antagonistlc to alleged
| schemes of the Roman Catholic Church.
Another of the pamphlets is by Mrs. John
| B. Shipley, and is entitled Suppressed
| Historical Facts" 1t is an array of proofs
! of the claim that Left Erikson discovered
/ America and that to him should the
credit be given. and not to Columbus. The
| plea these evidences refer to was presented
| to Congress in 1888 and ordered
printed for the use of the select
committee on the discovery of Amer
lea. The evidence marshalled in
| support of the claims are from the archives
| of the Vatican and Catholic records. An
| other of the pamphlets is Mrs. Shipley's
essay on Left Erikson as the discoverer
/ of America, and is the plea presented

! duced no other would have sufficed to
command universal recognition of his
| ability. Upon The relations of capital and

| efforts to effect an equilibrium between
| employer and employed, Mr.. Atkinson in
] this volume opp 12S-13D writes with

more intelligent conclusions than any
