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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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. Gomes Eanes de Zurara
(c.1410-1474) was a Portuguese writer appointed to chronicle the
life of Prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460) and the expeditions
he sponsored. Zurara's chronicle of the discovery of Guinea
appeared in this two-volume English translation in 1896-1899. The
editors' preface includes an account of the voyages of exploration
along the African coast sponsored by Prince Henry until 1448,
together with biographical information about the author. Volume 1
contains chapters 1-40 of the Chronicle.
