Henri Ternaux-Compans printed his _Voyages, relations, et mémoires originaux pour servir à l’histoire de la dècouverte de l’Amérique_, between 1837 and 1841.[35] This collection included rare books and about seventy-five original documents, which it is suspected may have been obtained during the French occupation of Spain. Ternaux published his _Archives des voyages_, in two volumes, at Paris in 1840;[36] a minor part of it pertains to American affairs. Another volume, published at the same time, is often found with it,—_Recueil de documents et mémoires originaux sur l’histoire des possessions Espagnoles dans l’Amérique_, whose contents, it is said, were derived from the Muñoz Collection. The Academy of History at Madrid began in 1842 a series of documentary illustrations which, though devoted to the history of Spain in general (_Coleccion de documentos inéditos para la historia de España_), contains much matter of the first importance in respect to the history of her colonies.[37] Navarrete was one of the original editors, but lived only to see five volumes published. Salvá, Baranda, and others have continued the publication since, which now amounts to eighty volumes, of which vols. 62, 63, and 64 are the famous history of Las Casas, then for the first time put in print. In 1864 a new series was begun at Madrid,—_Coleccion de documentos inéditos relativos al descubrimiento, conquista y colonizacion de las posesiones Españolas en América y Oceania, sacados, en su mayor parte, del Real Archivo de Indias_. Nearly forty volumes have thus far been published, under the editing of Joaquin F. Pacheco, Francisco de Cárdenas, and Luis Torres de Mendoza at the start, but with changes later in the editorial staff.[38] Mr. E. G. Squier edited at New York in 1860 a work called _Collection of Rare and Original Documents and Relations concerning the Discovery and Conquest of America, chiefly from the Spanish Archives, in the original, with Translations, Notes, Maps, and Sketches_. There was a small edition only,—one hundred copies on small paper, and ten on large paper.[39] This was but one of a large collection of manuscripts relative to Central America and Mexico which Mr. Squier had collected, partly during his term as _chargé d’affaires_ in 1849. Out of these he intended a series of publications, which never went beyond this first number. The collection “consists,” says Bancroft,[40] “of extracts and copies of letters and reports of _audiencias_, governors, bishops, and various governmental officials, taken from the Spanish archives at Madrid and from the library of the Spanish Royal Academy of History, mostly under the direction of the indefatigable collector, Mr. Buckingham Smith.” Early Spanish manuscripts on America in the British Museum are noted in its _Index to Manuscripts_, 1854-1875, p. 31; and Gayangos’ _Catalogue of Spanish Manuscripts in the British Museum_, vol. ii., has a section on America.[41]
