Description
-
This volume represents Hakluyt's collection of accounts from dozens of English explorers, pirates included, who were beginning to reshape Britain's worldview and its economic platform. The accounts in this two-volume publication present observations of Eastern Europe, the Americas, and parts of Asia. The initial objective of Hakluyt's Voyages was to aid in further exploration of these regions as well as to assist his nation in international trade, of which he was an ardent proponent.
