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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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 (published in
1855) contains three narratives: Frederick Martens' description of
a voyage to Spitzbergen in 1671, first translated into English and
published in 1694 in a book of voyages dedicated to Samuel Pepys,
then Secretary to the Admiralty; the Relation du Groeneland of
Isaac de la Peyr re (published anonymously in French in 1663 and
specially translated for this book); and the extraordinary account
of the survival of eight Englishmen 'left by mischance in
Green-land' for nine months in 1630.
