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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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 6 (1849) is the
first published edition of a collection of manuscript records
gathered by William Strachey (1572?-1621), the first Secretary of
the English colony of Virginia. It includes Strachey's own account
of a shipwreck, which is believed by some scholars to have inspired
passages in Shakespeare's The Tempest, and a list of words in
Powhatan which is the only source of information about that
language apart from the account of Captain John Smith.
