Omtale

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This two-volume 1885 edition of an early English translation of Linschoten's 1596 book describes the fauna, flora and peoples Linschoten encountered on his voyage to St Helena, Java and Sumatra.
