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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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 1, published in
1847, contains Sir Richard Hawkins's account of the voyage by which
in 1593 he planned to sail to 'the Ilands of Japan, of the
Phillippinas, and Molucas, the kingdomes of China, and the East
Indies, by the way of the Straites of Magelan, and the South Sea'.
The version of the book printed in 1622 was edited for the Hakluyt
Society by Captain C .R. Drinkwater Bethune of the Royal Navy, and
includes an editorial preface, explanatory footnotes and an index.
