The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made
available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of
exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899,
consists of 100 books containing published or previously
unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir
Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and
Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. Volumes 53, 55, 62 and 69
of the series contain the English translation of The Commentaries
of the Great Afonso Dalboquerque, translated and edited by Walter
de Grey Birch. Afonso de Albuquerque (1453 1515) was a Portuguese
naval officer and nobleman whose successful military campaigns
helped establish Portugal's colonies in India. Volume 1, published
in 1875, contains an account of de Albuquerque's expeditions to
India from 1503 to 1509 and his first conquest of Ormuz (modern
Hormuz Island, Iran).
