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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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. Volume 4 was edited by
William Desborough Cooley, one of the founders of the Society, who
stressed the importance of historical accounts to modern
exploration. First published in 1849, it contains the eye-witness
account by Thomas Maynard of Sir Francis Drake's last voyage across
the Atlantic (1595-1596) and his failed attack on San Juan in
Puerto Rico, together with a Spanish account of the attack, and an
English translation. The text is accompanied by explanatory notes.
