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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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. Vasco de Gama (c. 1460
1524) was a Portuguese explorer who commanded the first European
expedition to sail directly to India. He was later appointed
Viceroy of Portuguese India in 1524. This volume, first published
in 1869, contains an account of his expeditions written by the
Portuguese historian Gaspar Correa (c. 1496 c. 1563), taken from
his book Lendas da India. His work is an important contemporary
history of Portuguese colonialism in India, using contemporary
sources not available to later Portuguese historians.
