I may add, that Dr. Hamel shows Osorio's statement to be taken from
Castanheda, who is the earliest authority for the account of De Gama's
voyage.

BOHN'S EDITION OF MILTON.

Mr. Editor,--I have just seen an article in your "NOTES AND QUERIES"
referring to my edition of Milton's prose works. It is stated that, in
my latest catalogue, the book is announced as _complete_ in 3 vols.,
although the contrary appears to be the case, judging by the way in
which the third volume ends, the absence of an index, &c.

In reply, I beg to say that the insertion of the word "complete," in
some of my catalogues, has taken place without my privity, and is now
expunged. The fourth volume has long been in preparation, but the
time of its appearance depends on the health and leisure of a prelate,
whose name I have no right to announce. Those gentlemen who have taken
the trouble to make direct inquiries on the subject, have always, I
believe, received an explicit answer.

HENRY GEORGE BOHN.

May 30. 1850.
