Discovery Of The Origin Of The Name Of America is a book written by Thomas H. De Lambert De St. Bris. The book explores the origins of the name America and how it came to be associated with the landmass that we know today. De St. Bris delves into the historical context of the time when the name was first used, tracing it back to the voyages of Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci. He also examines the various theories and controversies surrounding the name's origin, including the possibility that it was derived from the name of a mythical figure or a Native American tribe. The book is a fascinating exploration of the history and linguistics of the name America and sheds light on the complex and often surprising ways in which language and culture intersect.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
