[653] Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., Dec., 1887. The most incautious linguistic inferences and the most uncritical cartological perversions are presented by Eben Norton Horsford in his Discovery of America by the Northmen—address at the unveiling of the statue of Leif Eriksen, Oct. 29, 1887 (Boston, 1888). Cf. Oscar Brenner in Beilage zur Allgemeinen Zeitung (Munich, Dec. 6, 1888). A trustful reliance upon the reputations of those who have in greater or less degree accepted the details of the sagas characterizes a paper by Mrs. Ole Bull in the Mag. of Amer. Hist., Mar., 1888. She is naturally not inclined to make much allowance for the patriotic zeal of the northern writers.
