The Discoyerer of America.

Paris, Sept. 29.-An important work
which throws fresh light on the dis
covery Of America by Columbus has
been written by Henry Vignaud, first
secretary of the United States embassy
here. It is in French and will be
published in this city October /. Mr..
Vignaud, who is president of the
=Americanist's society of Paris, has
made a life study of the early history
of America.
In an interview with the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press, Mr.Vig-
maud said:
The present work is intended to
show that for the last four centuries
we have been deceived by a.fraud
which hides from US the real begin
ming of Columbus project and that
the famous documents ascribed to Tos-
#canelli, the learned Florentine astron-
omer, were fabricated I submit ex-
cellent reasons for believing that Tos-
canelli never wrote the letter of 1474
to King Alfonso of Portugal and never
traced the chart alleged to have accom-
panied it. Columbus design was not
founded on any scientific basis but on.
positive information as to the exist
ence of lands to the westward.
