Book Description:

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This account of Drake's circumnavigation of the world in 1577-1580 was first published in 1628 and is probably based on notes made by Francis Fletcher, chaplain to the expedition.
