Omtale

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This volume, published in 1877, provides four contemporary accounts of Sir James Lancaster's journeys to India between 1591 and 1600, which contributed to the establishing of the East India Company.
