Biddle's memoir is one of the earliest American works of serious
and critical historical scholarship, and the major source and
inspiration for subsequent articles on the Cabots for the next
forty years. Biddle stressed the achievements and pre-eminence of
Sebastian over his father John. In addition to the voyages of the
Cabots, Biddle also discusses those of Cortereal, Columbus,
Verrazano, Frobisher, and Hudson.An important work for anyone
interested in the history of the exploration of the eastern coast
of North America and in the early history of the search for the
Northwest Passage. Biddle was apparently the first in the
nineteenth century to distinguish between the two Cabot voyages of
1497 and 1498.
