Synopsis "The Principal Navigations Voyages Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation"

Richard Hakluyt (1552?-1616) was fascinated from his earliest years by stories of strange lands and voyages of exploration. A priest by profession, he was also an indefatigable editor and translator of geographical accounts, and a propagandist for English expeditions to claim new lands, especially in the Americas. His most famous work was first published in 1589, and expanded in 1598-1600: reissued here is the twelve-volume edition prepared by the Scottish firm of James MacLehose and Sons and first published between 1903 and 1905, which included introductory essays and notes. Hakluyt's subjects range from transcriptions of personal accounts and 'ruttiers' (descriptive charts of voyages) to patriotic attacks against rival nations (especially Spain). Volume 3 contains accounts of travels to Russia and Persia, and the activities of the Muscovy Company, especially the celebrated merchant and traveller Anthony Jenkinson, who was entertained at the court of Ivan the Terrible in 1558.
