literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
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unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir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. Thomas Dallam, an
organ-builder, was sent by Queen Elizabeth to the sultan of Turkey
at Constantinople. His diary reveals a lively curiosity towards the
sights, but a dislike of foreigners. Dr John Covel, later
vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge, went to
Constantinople as chaplain to the ambassador Sir Daniel Harvey in
1670. While there, he travelled widely, and collected books,
manuscripts and other items. He was one of the first Western
visitors to write about Mount Athos, and studied the Orthodox
Church.
