The dedication to James Alexander, Esq., at New York, is dated, "Coldingham, in the Province of New York, Dec. 10, 1745," and signed Cadwallader Colden. The work seems to have become scarce as early as 1786, for in January of that year Mr. Jefferson, writing to Francis Hopkinson, observes :-" Many, many years ago, Cadwallader Colden wrote a very small pamphlet on the subjects of Attraction and Impulsion, a copy of which he sent to Monsieur de Buffon. He was so charmed with it that he put it into the hands of a friend to translate, who lost it. It has ever since weighed upon his mind, and he has made repeated trials to have it found in England. But in vain. He applied to me. I am in hopes if you write a line to the booksellers of Philadelphia to rummage their shops, that some of them will find it. Or perhaps some of the careful old people of Philadelphia or New Jersey may have preserved a copy." Whether Hopkinson was successful does not appear. COLDEN (C.)

VERY SCARCE. "While still on board his caravel, February 15th, off the island of St. Mary, Columbus wrote two official accounts of his voyage, one of which was addressed to Raphael or Gabriel Sanchez or Sanxis, the Crown Treasurer. No copy, either in print or in manuscript, of the Spanish original, has yet been found, but the discovery made a few years ago, in the Ambrosian Library, of a printed copy of the letter addressed to Luis de Santangel, warrants the belief that not only it may have been printed, but that it is not irretrievably lost. As to the original itself, notwithstanding the diligent searches instituted by Muñoz in Simancas, and Navarrete in the Lonja at Seville, where, after the establishment of the General Archives, of the Indies, in 1792, all documents relating to the Western World had been transferred, no traces of it have ever been discovered. The Spanish text of the letter to Santangel had been made known through Navarrette, who possessed a transcript from the original, which, in 1818, was still deposited among the archives at Simancas. It was not known then, or even suspected, that this important document had been printed before. This rarissime plaquette is printed in a kind of semi-gothic type, of the roughest character, resembling none of the incunabula which we have been able to examine. The fact alone that the text is in the Spanish language authorizes the belief that it was printed in Spain. The text of the Ambrosian plaquette was first published three years ago. It is also in two late American publications. The Marquis D'Adda has lately reproduced the entire letter in facsimile.”Harrisse. pp. 6, 24, 25, and 27. COLUMBUS.
