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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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, first
published in 1847 and revised in 1870, 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 languages with an English translation, editor's preface,
explanatory notes and index.
