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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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 1866, is the first of two compilations edited by
Colonel Henry Yule on contacts with China before the discovery of
sea routes to the east. Yule's detailed introductory essay surveys
the history of European contacts with the east, beginning with the
Greek geographers and going up to the thirteenth century. He then
presents the narratives of the Franciscan Odoric of Pordenone and
other missionary friars in the fourteenth century.
