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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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. Volume 2, published in
1847, consists of letters of Christopher Columbus to the Treasurer
of the King and Queen of Spain, describing his first, third and
fourth voyages, and a letter from Diego Alvarez Chanca, a royal
physician who went on the second voyage and reported his
experiences to the town council of Seville. In this edition by R.
H. Major, the letters are given in the original Latin and Spanish
with an English translation, editor's preface, explanatory notes
and index.
