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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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. A member of a noble Roman
family, Pietro della Valle began travelling in 1614 at the
suggestion of a doctor, as an alternative to suicide after a failed
love affair. The letters describing his travels in Turkey, Persia
and India were addressed to this advisor. This 1664 English
translation of della Valle's letters from India, republished by the
Hakluyt Society in 1892, contains fascinating ethnographic details,
particularly on religious beliefs, and is an important source for
the history of the Keladi region of South India.
