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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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 name of Anthony
Jenkinson (1529 1610/11), the Elizabethan traveller and diplomat,
is perhaps better known in Russia than in Britain. As agent for the
Muscovy Company, he made four journeys to Russia to negotiate trade
terms with Tsar Ivan IV ('Ivan the Terrible'), and travelled as far
as Persia and the Caspian Sea. This two-volume work, published in
1886, contains an account of Jenkinson's journeys, and
transcriptions of documents from the State Papers. The Victorian
editors provided an introductory essay and explanatory notes.
