THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.
The Runic Inserlptlen.-chrouolottlcal
Itaeord.
WAniN0T05, D. C, July 31.
To the Editor of the Evtning Telegraph;
Having seen in your paper a notice of the
Inscription said to Lave been found hjVto
fessor Kafinnson, near the Great Falls of the
Potomac, I aend you an abstract of the state
ments heretofore made in support of the theory
that tins continent was discovered by the
Northmen before the days of Columbus, in the
form of a brief chronological outline of all the
leading facts which have appeared in print on
the Subject. Very respectfully, etc.,
i Thomas Norton.
The reported discovery near the city of Wah
liDtrton, at the hcad.of navigation In tbe Potomac
river, of a Ruiric Inscription, bearing date 1051,
and of human remains, trinkets, Itoraau coins
of the tonih century. In tbe place iudieatcd by
the epitaph, has flxed the attention ot the public
Tipou an obscure but most important pago of the
history of the continent of America, its tlrat
aiFcovery by Europeans The authenticity of
this inscription I am not prepared to question;
it may have been engraved, m it purports to
nave bet u, In ih e eleventh century, or it may
have been carved there, as is the opinion of
many, by W. Lansley, whose name, with the
date, 1755, appears in cioc connection, or, pos
sibly, it may have been put there in very rodent
times, but wuh what obicct other than a most
complicated boax, it k not yet determined. Let
it be ai it will, however, a true or false inscrip
tion, the interest it has excited, and the specu
lation 1t has elicited, fully warrant the labor of
the historian and the atcbaiologlst to ascertain
its probability or plausibility.
With this view of tbe matter, and in order to
facilitate research, to connect the whole subject
in an article that can be surveyed at a kImicp, as
well as to present to the les tawed reader a
summary of the facts the llviJsierk inscription
is so intimately connected witn, or based upon,
I have prepared the following chronology oi the
JDOBt important events preceding and following
the discovery of America by the Irish, and tbe
jjhuos, iuu nurweiaus, wuiCD.fcl trust, will De
acceptable to your readers, The statements are
taken, but with one or two noted exceptions,
from the sauas ot Iceland and Norway, and
from other literary and religious documents, the
cbararter of all which is in the main unim
peached, though the details are matters of some
dispute. App-nded to tbe chronology I have
also made a catalogue ot tbe principal works
accessible in tbis country on the subject ot its
discovery by the Northmen, by wbelh tbe fol
lowing may be vcriUed, or extended to a great
uepref.

land, but witnout succesp.

Icelandic descent are killed, and two boys car
ried oil' prisoners.
1406. An ireas, or Enride Andrea?son, ap
pointed Bishop of Greenland, goes thituer and
returns before 1409. After this period all com
munication between Greeuland and the rest of
the Danish territory, and consequently between
Ureenland and America, appears to haveceased,
for Queen Margaret of Denmark, and King Erik
of Norway, forbade their subjects to trade to
ibe country. The war which tben ratred in the
north of Europe also prevented vessels from
vlBituift the coast, and thus no knowledge of tbj
colony could be obtained.
143X A tieaty made between England md
Denmark contains the conditions that "what
ever people have been carried from Iceland,
Fin mark, Helzeland. and other places, his
Malcsty of Ensland shall provide, etc. etc., that

genius IV nominated one Bartbolomocus to tbe
bishopric of Gteenland.

bishops of Skaholt and Holum, written in this
year, pves au account of tbe late of the settlers
ot Greenland.
1477. Columbus visits Iceland to examine the
records of the early Icelandic voyages to un
known lands in the tar west, lor confirmation of
his idea that land Asia, be imagined could be
lound by sailing continually to the West.
1492. Columbus discovers the West Indies,
and not tbe Lust Indies, as he expected.
1523. Fnk Walchendortl, Archbishop of
Tbiondhjem, excited by the receut discoveries
of the Spaniards, proposes to Christian II. au
expedition to Greenland, which was rejecteJ.
. 1569. Christian III removes the prohibition
established by Queen Margaret against trading
to Greeuland, and send out ships to explore the
country, but without success; several attempts
are made in the succeeding telans down to that
of Fiederluk III, in 1670, with similar results.
l.r)68. Sir Eilend ThorJson. a priest in Ice
land, still in possession ot an ancient chart of
Hvitramaunalund, White Man's Land, or (ireat
Ireland, together with the boundaries ot Mark
land, Eintoetincjaland, little Helluland, and
Greenland, of which no further Information has
been obtained.
1680. First examination made of the cele
brated Dighton Writing Kockin Massachusetts.
This liuuic inscription contains various crypto
graphs aud rude combinations of figures lllus
trative of the settlemeats of the Northmen,
among which devices may yet be traced the
name ot Thorflnn, and some figures correspon
ding to the number of bis associates. It was
deciphered in the present century by Professors
Finn, Mngnussen, and limn.

Island Historical Society examines and reports

giving an account of tbe expedition of Hervar
uur. exhumed at kalholt, Iceland.
1807, Juue 28. The reported discoveries
below tbe Great Falls of the Potomac river
made by Professor Thoma9 C. Rapinusou, of Co
penhagen. The works which may bo consulted with refer
ence to tbe discovery of America by the North
men, previous to the lauding of Columbus, are
the tollowing, many or all ot wntcnarc to be

In conclusion, let me say that, having exa
mined most of these works myself with reference
to the HviJsu'rck Kuuio inscription of the Poto
mac, I was astonished to find the most compli
cated dovetailing between the two, going to
show if the latter ii a geuulue Runic in
scription, the truth of both, or, it the Hvidseerck
Inscription is a forgery, tbe most consummate
ingenuity on the part of Its unknown author.
