Abstract: These volumes, in paper cover, reproduce the texts of voyages in the great era of discovery and are doubly welcome to all of us as a testimony of the fact that scholarship and research have not died out in Spain, despite the civil war, the world war, and the troubled period we are now in.The voyages for which texts are printed are those of Alonso de Camargo, sent by the bishop of Plasencia to the Straits of Magellan in 1539; Rodriguez Cabrillo, in 1542, up the coast of the Californias; Pedro de Valdivia, conqueror of Chile, by land and by sea, 1552; Antonio de Vea, from Peru to the Straits of Magellan, 1675; and Padre Joseph Quiroga, S.
