Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 2: Part I The originals of the letters-patent, and other evidences of privileges granted by the Spanish monarchs to Columbus, were preserved by him, and now constitute a part of the collection of the Duke of Veraguas, in Madrid. In 1502 Columbus caused several attested copies of them and of a few other documents to be made, raising the number of papers from thirty-six to forty-four. His care in causing these copies to be distributed among different custodians evinces the high importance which he held them to have, as testimonials to his fame' and his prominence in the world's history.

Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 2 Dr. Robertson was the earliest of the English writers to make even scant use of the original manuscript sources of information; and such documents as he got from Spain were obtained through the solicitation and address Of Lord Grantham, the English ambassador. Everything, however, was grudgingly given, after being first directly refused.
