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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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 1877, contains four contemporary accounts of the
voyages of Sir James Lancaster (c. 1555 1618) between 1591 and 1600
together with the journal of Captain John Knight from his 1606
voyage to discover the 'North-West Passage'. Sir James Lancaster
was one of the leading traders and explorers of the Elizabethan
era, whose first voyage to India in 1591 was instrumental in
establishing the East India Company in 1600.
