About this book
Across twelve volumes, Richard Hakluyt assembles English accounts of travel, trade, and discovery, making a large reference collection for readers interested in geography and overseas ventures. While studying at Oxford, he read travel books in several languages and lectured on how new maps corrected older ones. The index follows the Roanoke settlers to Croatan Sound, alongside entries on places, peoples, and natural history across many regions. Its scale and subject index make it easier to consult as a storehouse of reports than to read as a continuous narrative.
