Bernaldez was an eyewitness of the events that he describes, and on intimate terms with Ponce de Leon and the other great men of the time. Not the least interesting part of his work is the description of the Discovery of Ainerica, and his account of COLUMBUS, WHOM HE ALSO KNEW AND ADMIRED. He calls him a "Mercader de libros de estampa," which is more likely to be a correct designation than that usually given to the great navigator. BEWICK (T.)

In the edition issued under the title of Orchidées," there are, however, remarks on each plant in French (following the Latin text), which are not contained in the edition published under the title of "Flora Javæ, Nova Series."
