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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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, edited by
Robert Schomburgk and first published in 1848, presents documents
written by Sir Walter Raleigh following his expeditions to Guyana
in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The title
text recounts the events of Raleigh's first voyage, including his
encounters with the Spanish and the quest for the legendary city of
Manoa, and is accompanied by two documents that had not previously
been published. The book also includes a detailed introduction and
extensive explanatory notes, providing key biographical and
historical information.
