A Collection of Documents, forming a Monograph of the Voyages of Henry Hudson. Edited, with an Introduction, by George Asher, Esq., LL.D.

Two volumes are in course of preparation, which will be delivered to Members, for the year 1861, viz.:

The Expedition of Ursua and Aguirre, in search of El Dorado and Omagua, A.D. 1560-61, translated from the Sexta Noticia historiar of Fray Pedro Simon, by W. Bollaert, Esq.; with an Introduction by Clements R. Markham, Esq.
