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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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. The first volume issued
by the Society was the Observations of Sir Richard Hawkins, and
this later edition of that work includes additional narratives
about other members of the Hawkins family: Richard's grandfather
William, his father Sir John and his cousin William. The volume was
'intended to be a monograph of the naval enterprises of the great
Elizabethan navigators of the name of Hawkins', from voyages to
Brazil in the reign of Henry VIII to the foundation of the East
India Company in 1600.
