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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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. This volume (published in
1855) is devoted to an account of Sir Henry Middleton's voyage to
the Molucca Islands in 1604-1606 on behalf of the East India
Company. The appendices contain transcriptions of various documents
relating to the voyage, including James I's commission authorising
the expedition, the king's letters to the various rulers Middleton
was likely to encounter, and letters from these rulers which
Middleton conveyed back to London.
