WHERE Is TIE SPANISH MAIN,
The Term y ever Known to HIVE Been
Used ny Historians. II


McMitldn's Magazine.
We write and talk ghbly enough OF the
Spanish man, but wien did the phrase first
come into use and what is its exact geo.
graphical Significance? The prevalent idea,
borrowed, we take it, from the delightful
romance of Westward Ho," seems TO lie
that the phrase was in cofiii;on use among
the ElizabethaD sailors to signify that par
of the great American continent on which
the SpaDiarIs had effected settlement
when we first broke into the Caribbean sea
that is to say. from V era Cruz ID the Gulf
of Mexico. TO the delta of tie orinoco. But
we cannot find that The phrase was in Use
at that time. In the pages OF Hakluyt we
read of the main, of the Firm land, which
is. of course, a literal translation OF the
Spanish term ''tierra firrna," of the main
land coast" OF the coast Of tire Indies OF Of
the West Indies, hut of the Spanish m3in
we have nowhere read.
Nor have we been able to find il in tie
writer's OF the next century. Dampicr does
not use it. nor Lionel Wafer, nor the trans
lator Of ExGuemelin's DE Americacnsche
Zee Rovers;" it is Dot to re found in MGr-
gan's official reports OF his baccaneering
exploits Dor in Ringrose's narrative, nor l.:
Sharp's. In the map engraved for Dampier's
Voyages G7291 the term Firm Lind IS
employed to designate the territory now oc-
cupied by the republics Of Venezuela md
Colombia. The original TERRA Flrina of the
Spaniaris, according to Ulloa, included
enly the provinces OF veragaa, Panama and
DarieD. with the city Of Panama for its
capital.
We may be IN error. and certainly we do
not profess that cur researches have been
exhaustive, but the eariicst use we have
found Of the term tie Spanish main is IN
The Journal Of Admiral James," lately
published by the Navy Records society,
where. On November 12, 1873 the admiral
notes that he ''bere away for Truxillo, ON
the Spanish main,' !, Trsxillo being the port
