Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. lxxxii+394 pages with 4 maps, bibliography and index. Octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Second Series, Volume 16. First published by the Hakluyt Society in 1905. An account of the East India Company's fourth voyage; with an appendix containing William Revett's 1609 account of the Seychelles, and reports on other places by merchants and seamen of the same period. John Jourdain was a captain in the service of the English East India Company (EIC), and the first president of the EIC Council of India. He sailed for India in the Ascension on 25 March 1608 on the Company's Fourth Voyage of which Alexander Sharpeigh was the commander or general. After touching at the Cape of Good Hope, and visiting Aden, Mocha, and the island of Socotra, the Ascension sailed, towards the end of August 1609, for Surat, and on 3 September was lost on a shoal in the Gulf of Cambay. The crew reached Gandavee in the boats, and marched thence to Surat. A few days later most of them set out for Agra, but Jourdain remained at Surat, pushing the company's trade and conciliating the Indian officials. In January 1610-11 he joined Captain William Hawkins at Agra, and after six months' stay here he returned to Surat. In February 1611-12 he sailed for the Red Sea in the Trade's Increase. From Mocha he went to Sumatra, and on to Tecoa and Bantam, where on 28 November 1617 he was appointed to remain as chief factor, or 'president of the English,' his work being not only to regulate the business of the company, but—which was more troublesome—to adjust the quarrels of his subordinates. The appointment was made at the behest of General Thomas Best, commander of the tenth voyage, with the consent of the other factors at Bantam. The appointment gave Jourdain authority over all of the Company's factories in the East except that of Surat, where Sir Thomas Roe held sway as special envoy to the Moghul Emperor Jahangir. The Dutch, too, were insolent and aggressive, and threatened to become more dangerous enemies than the Portuguese, with whom there had always been war. Condition: Near fine.…
