Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery

Mr. Henry Vignaud, late Secretary of the American Embassy and distinguished historian of Columbus, says:

“In this book the hero who discovered the New World is shown for the first time as a living man.... A more true and lively picture of the great discoverer than is contained in any other work.”

“Mr. Filson Young has done nothing better... there is not a dull page in the seven hundred. His descriptions of visible things, of streets and hills, and seas and men, are vivid in his accustomed manner. His narrative is rich and marching, yet sufficiently precise.... For the modern taste there is really nothing about Columbus to compare with Mr. Young’s for matter and style.”—The Morning Post.

“If these volumes do not bring the figure of Columbus into closer relation with the mind of the present generation, it must be because people simply do not care to learn about anything that lies a few yards beyond their own thresholds. Our hope, however, is better; and we imagine that there will be a wide public for a narrative so fresh and spirited.

“Mr. Filson Young tells his story, without turning to the right hand or to the left, in a free and fluent fashion.... Very vigorous too are the passages dealing with his voyages, for Mr. Filson Young has drunk deep of the spirit of the sea and nowhere writes so well as in his account of the seafarer’s business in great waters.... The book abounds in interludes of suggestive thought and clear, vigorous expression. But, the book must be commended for the keen, eager spirit of its narrative and the abounding interest of its romances. If all gleaners in the field of history were as skilful as Mr. Young, we should not hear so much about the dry-as-dust dullness of what ought to be always one of the most fascinating forms of literary art.”

Mr. W. L. Courtney in The Daily Telegraph.

“Mr. Young has given us an estimate of the man which is attractive and poetical. His account of the four voyages to the Indies is a romance of the sea.... His book is a book of colour and the spirit of adventure. We delight in that vision of his which shows to others the world and the sea and the strange ‘Indias’ very much as Columbus saw them, with his keen eyes, four centuries ago.”—The Manchester Guardian.

“History clothed with a gracious humanity... history that has reality and life... not a mere record of his acts, but a reconstruction of the man who died four centuries ago, so that at the end of the book we feel that we have known and spoken with Columbus.... Breathes interest from every page.”—The Daily Chronicle.

“He writes with charm, with colour, and with humour... very readable and eloquent.... We can give but a little quotation to show Mr. Young’s eloquence, but we can assure the reader that he has many passages that set one longing for the sea.”—Mr. John Masefield in The Tribune.

“It is almost impossible to do justice to the splendour and romance of these two finely produced volumes.... ‘Charity, truth, and justice,’ that is the meed Columbus has from Mr. Filson Young, whose book—austere, dignified, stately—forms by far the most striking and vivid portrait of the hero in our language.”—The Morning Leader.

“To write a new book on Columbus seems a daring project; so many folios have already been dedicated to his life. Mr. Young has justified himself; so many books on the Genoese sailor have been either unexpectedly dull or painfully inaccurate. Mr. Young is neither; in a style pleasant and lucid he has set before us with vigour the period and the setting of these famous voyages. In his pages we can enter into the feelings and aspirations of those Western seamen.”—The Pall Mall Gazette.
