T HE story of the discovery and settlement of the Canary Islands has long been considered by the Council as a proper and desirable subject for a volume or more in the Hakluyt Societys series. The enterprise of Jean de Bethencourt and his gallant companions is the opening chapter of the story, and I proposed its translation to our former President upwards of thirty-six years ago. Sir David Dundas cordially approved the suggestion, and lent me his fine copy of Bergerons edition. My dear friend, schoolfellow, and messmate, the late Commodore James G. Goodenough, undertook to translate and edit, and we began to make researches together: work in which he took a deep interest, and for which his linguistic and other accomplishments specially fitted him. But in 1871 he was called away on important duties connected with relief work in France, and in 1873 he went out to take command of the Australian Station, closing a most valuable and meritorious career by an heroic death two years afterwards. I secured an equally competent editor for Bethencourt in Mr. Major, of the British Museum, and the volume was issued to members in 1872.

The authors, Pierre Bontier and Jean le Verrier, who were Bethencourts chaplains, knew how to tell their story. Mr. Major truly says that there is much of picturesque beauty about the quaint old narrative of the adventures of the Sire de Bethencourt. We find ourselves in an atmosphere of romance, albeit the story is most essentially true. It lends the charm of chivalry to an expedition of discovery, undertaken at a period when chivalry was itself a reality.
