The literature dealing with the Cabots is quite as
voluminous as that bearing on Columbus. Henry Harrisse's
'John Cabot, the Discoverer of North America and Sebastian,
his Son; a Chapter of the Maritime History of England
under the Tudors, 1496-1557', is a most exhaustive work.
Other authoritative works on the Cabots are Nichols's
'Remarkable Life, Adventures, and Discoveries of Sebastian
Cabot', in which an effort is made to give the chief
glory of the discovery of America not to John Cabot, but
to his son Sebastian; Dawson's 'The Voyages of the Cabots,
1497 and 1498', 'The Voyages of the Cabots, a Sequel',
and 'The Voyages of the Cabots, Latest Phases of the
Controversy', in 'Transactions Royal Society of Canada';
Biddle's 'Memoir of Sebastian Cabot'; Beazley's 'John
and Sebastian Cabot, The Discovery of North America';
and Weare'S 'Cabot's Discovery of America'.
A number of European writers have made able studies of
the work of Verrazano, and two American scholars have
contributed valuable works on that explorer's life and
achievements; these are, De Costa's 'Verrazano the
Explorer: a Vindication of his Letter and Voyage', and
Murphy's 'The Voyage of Verrazano'.
