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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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 1868 volume contains
the first English translation of Hern n Cort s' 1526 report to
Emperor Charles V on his expedition from Mexico to Honduras to
subdue the rebellion in the Spanish colony which had been founded
there. The colony was used to supply native workers for the Spanish
Caribbean plantations, and was a recurring source of trouble for
its overlords. The early years of Spanish colonisation in Central
and South America were marked by power-struggles between the
Conquistadors themselves, as this account shows.
