Excerpt from The Discovery of the Ancient City of Norumbega: A Communication to the President and Council of the American Geographical Society at Their Special Session in Watertown, November 21, 1889 The demand for the communication regarding the site of the ancient city of Norumbega, made on the 21st of November last to the American Geographical Society at its special session in Watertown, has led me to anticipate, in some degree, the publication long promised of the results which the study of the interesting problem of the lost city and country has yielded. That paper is in press, but must wait for a time. Meanwhile I have thought to attach a few of its illustrations to the story recently presented, and place the publication where it may be found by persons interested; and farther, to produce the paper, without the illustrations, in a less expensive form.

This work brings together for the first time the interpretation of the best authorities respecting the evidences, historical, archaeologic, inscriptive, and deductive, of Norse discovery, occupation, and colonization of America five centuries before the time of Columbus. The subject, though it has engaged in a general way the attention of historians for a long time, has only within recent years been brought into great prominence by a serious study of the Saga writers of Iceland and Scandinavia. The beginning of this interest dates from 1837 in which year was published, by the Royal Danish Society of Northern Antiquaries, a large quarto volume of old Icelandic documents, in which the proofs were set forth that the discovery credited to Columbus was anticipated by sea-roving Norsemen five hundred years earlier. This great work was edited by Prof. C. C. Rafn, founder of the Royal Danish Society, and was the result of painstaking labor and expensive research by that very distinguished antiquarian.
