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.

In 'The Cabots and the Discovery of America' by Elizabeth Hodges, the author provides a detailed account of the Cabot family's role in the exploration and discovery of America. Written in the late 19th century, Hodges' book reflects the historical context of that time and offers a scholarly study of the Cabots' significance in American history. The book is meticulously researched and written in a formal, academic style, making it a valuable resource for those interested in American exploration and discovery. The inclusion of primary sources and archival materials adds to the credibility of Hodges' work. Elizabeth Hodges, an active writer from 1895 to 1897, likely drew inspiration from her interest in historical narratives and the exploration of uncharted territories. Her dedication to researching the Cabot family's contributions to American history is evident in the thoroughness of her book. Hodges' background in historical research and literature shines through in 'The Cabots and the Discovery of America.' I highly recommend 'The Cabots and the Discovery of America' to readers who enjoy scholarly works on exploration, discovery, and the history of America. Elizabeth Hodges' book is a valuable contribution to the study of early American history and the influence of the Cabot family on the nation's development.
