translation by J.G. Cogswell.

The third copy is the one now owned by Count Gulio Macchi di
Cellere, of Rome. It was first published in Italy in 1909, and the
first English translation of it was made by Dr. Edward Hagaman
Hall, secretary of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation
Society, and published in the report of that society for 1910.
This copy has the distinction of being contemporaneous. Dr. Hall
says its value "consists not only in confirming the voyage itself,
but also in supplying a wealth of names and details not previously
known to exist." Verazzano's account of his visit to New York
harbor here given is taken from Dr. Hall's translation.

Giovanni de Verazzano was born in Italy about 1480, and died about
1527. He early became a Florentine navigator and afterward a
corsair in French service. His expedition to America was of French
origin and sailed in 1523.
