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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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 account of Drake's
circumnavigation of the world in 1577-1580 was first published by
his nephew in 1628 and appears to derive from notes made by Francis
Fletcher, the chaplain to the expedition, although a surviving
manuscript account by Fletcher is not identical. The introduction
to this edition (published in 1854) discusses textual problems, and
also puts the narrative into the context of Drake's career as one
of the privateers who carried on England's unacknowledged war with
Spain in the decades before the Armada.
