The manuscript CONTAINS l72 pages
and the narrative. though IN no wise a
continued story. may divided into three
parts. First, an account OF the arrival
In America OF crew OF twenty
Roman citizens. This account occupies
the FIRST half dozen pages Of the Manu-

monies manners and customs and
amusements OF the natives of America.
This completes the first half OF the

The third part. which occupies the en-
tire second half OF the manuscript. re-
lates a romantic love affair with which
the story ends.
