Since the Worlds Fair ear the crop
Of original discoveries OF America has
fallen of materially: but here comes
SIR. Oldham, Of London, with a brand
new one. or, rather. q brand new the
DRY OF the discovery OF America.
The rather interesting evidence he
brings forward is i'm the shape of an in
scription on manuscript map exc
cuted in London during 1fiS bv ARdrae
Bianea, the famous Venetian cartoe-
rapher. On this document. now one OF
the most valued treasures Of the AM
brosian Library in Milan It IS recorded
that in 14i7 an authentic Island was
discovered. and it is portrayed on the
map in the shape Of a long stretch Of
coast line 1900 miles southwest from
Cape Verd. The only land in such a
position is South America. and Mr.
Oldham therefore concludes that Bian-
cos map was intended to illustrate the
latest Portuguese exploration before he
made his map
He thinks Portuguese vessel may
have been driven TO the SoUJb Ameri-
can coast Ingenious though this iu-
ference is. the opinions of Dir. Mark
ham and other eminent geographers
appended to Nr Oldham's paper are
Tor the most part, rather against the
conclusions which be re,caes They
think it is more than likely that the
island was one of the group discovered
TO the west of Cape Verd, or else some
mythical country, such as Anulia
which so long occupied -he position Of
/ the Azores.
