This volume is a translation of Robert Coverte's "A true and almost incredible Report of an Englishman, that (being cast away in the good Ship called The Assention, in Cambaya, the farthest Part of the East Indies) Travelled by Land through many unknowne Kingdomes, and Great Cities." first published in 1612. Coverte and his men were among the first Englishmen to see the Cape of Good Hope, in July 1608.
