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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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 (1860) is a
documentary biography of Henry Hudson, who was presumed dead around
1611 after being cast adrift in a small boat in Arctic waters by
his mutinous crew. The documents include accounts of voyages by
Hudson himself, entries from his journal, extracts from the
archives of the Dutch East India Company, and the
self-justificatory account of Habbakuk Prickett, one of the
mutineers. An introduction puts Hudson's voyages in the context of
other contemporary voyages of exploration, and assesses his
achievement.
