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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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 second of two compilations edited by
Colonel Henry Yule on contacts with China before the discovery of
sea routes to the east. It contains extracts from the work of
Rashiduddin (1247 1318) describing China during the Mongol rule,
Ibn Batuta's account of travel in Bengal and China in the
fourteenth century, and a record of the journey of the Portuguese
Jesuit Benedict Go s from Agra to Cathay (1602 1607).
