Spain, to ask for some bread and water for his wearied child. While he was receiving it from a kind Friar, he gave him a hjstory of himself, and told him for what purpose he had come into that country. At that time, the inhabitants of Europe, A sia, and A frica, did not know that there was pny other land than those continents, and some islands not very distant from them. The most learned men, who were endeavouring to increase their knowledge of geo graphy, thought that the ocean surrounded those countries like a great belt, and Christo pher Columbus, the stranger who stood at the convent gate, was perhaps the first person who thought that belt might be crossed to the land on the opposite side ;which was supposed to be the eastern part of A sia. He was born about the year 1436, and was the son of a wool-comber, who lived in a city of ttaly, called Genoa, and who was too poor to give him much education ;but Columbus was very attentive to the instructions which he received in the few years that he went to school.
