Who Discovered Amenza We have a minute and exact desoription of Bristol in the 12.h century; for a eitizan, William of Worcester, was busying himself in what probably his neighbours deemed se foolish fashion, by walking about the etreets and measuring them by pews, and reoording nerefully much that he eaw; thus giving us in our days a further help to look fully into the- n& of his times, when John Cabot and his, three eons, including Sebastian, were being *tent out by the merchants in search of the island of Brazil and the seven cities. Ste sucoessfal were these adventures that Cabot obtained a patent in March 1495 6, for power to sail to all ports " under our banners ;" and in May of ehe name year he sailed with his son Sebastian, and, on June 24111, discovered America. Front thia date his diet:ovaries and the rewards of the King, earned him the title of the "Great Admiral." We still teach our children that Columbus discovered America, but as these facts are fully authenticated surely we might claim for this other Italian and his Brunel -born son Sebastian, and their Bristol gallon, the honour that is right- ly theirs. Hakluyt refers in quaint words to John Cabot, a Venetian, and his three sons who "departed with five Bailee from the port of Bristol, accompanied with 300 Englishmen and first of any Christians, found one that !nightie and large traot of Is zed and gem from the Circle Arotioke as far as Florida." Se- bastian afterwards became, in 1551, in ripe old age, the firet Governor of the Merchant Venturers' Guild, an outcome of the older Merchants' Guild that had been of great weight in the city for centuries put.
