The voyages of John and Sebastian Cabot and their English
contemporaries were made, for the most part, in search of a
westward passage to Asia, and they resulted in the revelation of
North America. The evidences are printed here, with an indication
of their origins. Some are obscure in meaning, incomplete in
statement, or mutually contradictory; and we are left with the
certainty that important documents have existed or may now exist,
which are still unknown. Dr Williamson interprets the evidence we
have. Parts of his undertaking are in the nature of detective work
and he does not claim that his solutions are final, which would be
impossible in the face of new evidence that may at any time occur.
Cabot study is a continuing mental adventure. The maps are an
important category of the evidence. Mr R.A. Skelton of the British
Museum has contributed a treatment of them, authoritative in its
explanations, and a valuable admonition on what can and cannot be
expected of the material. This is a new print-on-demand hardback
edition of the volume first published in 1962.
