The Hawkins' Voyages During the Reigns of Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth, and James I

Omtale

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This second edition, from 1878, of the Observations of Sir Richard Hawkins contains additional narratives about other members of the Hawkins family, all distinguished seamen and explorers of the sixteenth century.
