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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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. Three volumes, published
in 1887, are devoted to the diary of William Hedges (1632 1701) who
in 1681 became the first Agent of the East India Company at its new
base in Bengal. The first volume contains a transcription of the
diary itself; Volume 2 contains a collection of documents relevant
to Hedges' time in India; and Volume 3 is a documentary history of
Thomas Pitt, grandfather of Pitt the Elder and Governor of Fort St
George, who appears frequently in Hedges' diary.
