Excerpt from Lettera di Amerigo Vespucci Delle Isole Nuovamente Trovate in Quattro Suoi Viaggi (1504): Reproduced in Facsimile From The McCormick-Hoe Copy in The Princeton University Library
The Vespucci reprints, texts and studies had their origin in the gift to the Princeton University Library by Mr. Cyrus H. Mccor mick '79, of Chicago, of eight tracts relating to Vespucci, purchased from the Hoe library.
Mr. Mccormick's attention was called to the fact that the Ves pucci problem is one useful to set for university students who are bemg trained for research in American History, and that for this purpose the main need is for reliable copies of actual documents, originals being scarce and facsimiles not generally accessible. On this representation the Library administration was authorized to publish any of his gifts in facsimile and to add to them other basic documents might be useful and obtainable, mg a convenient uniform series of documents for teaching or re search m unpretentious form for practical use.
