Spain, therefore, had nothing to conceal regarding the geography of the north-east coast of America. In the second place, there is not a shadow of evidence that Spain ever concealed her trans atlantic discoveries, or prohibited cartographical information concerning them. Thus do we see Christopher Columbus himself, who, more than anyone else, was interested in preventing trans gressions of his privileges and of the rights of the Crown, order, without any hesitation, for the use even of a Veneti...an admiral, " a map of the newly discovered lands, detailed and complete. " When Magellan had accomplished his famous discovery of the straits that bear his name, which one might suppose Spain would have reserved exclusively to herself, it was at once graphically described in all maps and globes, with the exact route. And what is more, the information was conveyed openly to the Archbishop of Salzburg, by Maximilianus Transylvanus, the secretary of Charles V. Several other instances of the kind could be cited.
