On the Spanish part we have the _Cartas escritas al rey_ of Pedro Menendez (Sept. 11, Oct. 15, and Dec. 5, 1565), which are preserved in the Archives at Seville, and have been used by Parkman,[985] and the _Memoria del buen suceso i buen viage_ of the chaplain of the expedition, Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales.[986] Barcia’s _Ensayo cronológico_ is the most comprehensive of the Spanish accounts, and he gives a large part of the _Memorial de las jornadas_ of Solis de Meras, a brother-in-law of Menendez. It has never been printed separately; but Charlevoix used Barcia’s extract, and it is translated from Barcia in French’s _Historical Collections of Louisiana and Florida_ (vol. ii. p. 216). Barcia seems also to have had access to the papers of Menendez,[987] and to have received this Journal of Solis directly from his family. On the French side, for the first expedition of Ribault in 1562 we have the very scarce text of the _Histoire de l’expédition Française en Floride_, published in London in 1563, which Hakluyt refers to as being in print “in French and English” when he wrote his _Westerne Planting_.[988] Sparks[989] could not find that it was ever published in French; nor was Winter Jones aware of the existence of this 1563 edition when he prepared for the Hakluyt Society an issue of Hakluyt’s _Divers Voyages_ (1582), in which that collector had included an English version of it as _The True and Last Discoverie of Florida, translated into Englishe by one Thomas Hackit_, being the same text which appeared separately in 1563 as the _Whole and True Discovery of Terra Florida_.[990] At Paris in 1586 appeared a volume, dedicated to Sir Walter Raleigh, entitled, _L’histoire notable de la Floride, ... contenant les trois voyages faits en icelle par certains capitaines et pilotes François descrits par le Capitaine Laudonnière, ... à laquelle a esté adjousté un quatriesme voyage fait par le Capitaine Gourgues, Mise en lumiere par M. Basanier_. This was a comprehensive account, or rather compilation, of the four several French expeditions,—1562, 1564, 1565, 1567,—covering the letters of Laudonnière for the first three, and an anonymous account, perhaps by the editor Basanier, of the fourth. Hakluyt, who had induced the French publication, gave the whole an English dress in his _Notable History, translated by R. H._, printed in London in 1587,[991] and again in his _Principall Navigations_, vol. iii., the text of which is also to be found in the later edition and in French’s _Historical Collections of Louisiana and Florida_ (1869), i. 165.[992] [Illustration: ROUTE OF DE SOTO (_after Delisle_),—WESTERLY PART.
