The principal navigations, voyages, traffiques and discoveries of the English nation, made by sea or ouer-land to the remote and farthest distant quarters of the earth, at any time within the compasse of these 1600 years (vol. 1)
Year: 1599 Language: English Author: Hakluyt, Richard Publisher: London: G. Bishop, R. Newberie, and R. Barker Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 1192 Description: Richard Hakluyt’s monumental work, The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation, is a comprehensive compilation of English exploration, trade, and maritime history, published in 1598. This extensive collection spans more than 1,600 years of documented sea voyages and land expeditions, focusing on the pioneering journeys made by English navigators to the farthest reaches of the Earth. The book provides detailed accounts of English exploration of the Americas, Africa, Asia, and the Arctic. Hakluyt’s goal was to showcase the ambition, bravery, and resourcefulness of English explorers, particularly in their search for new trade routes, territories, and resources. The collection includes voyages made by famous explorers such as Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, John Cabot, and Martin Waldseemüller, along with many lesser-known navigators whose contributions shaped the course of English maritime history. Hakluyt’s work is not only a historical record of the journeys themselves, but also an insightful commentary on the motivations behind these explorations—such as expanding England’s commercial empire, spreading Christianity, and asserting its naval power. The book was also a key text in promoting England’s interests in overseas expansion, and it greatly influenced the development of English colonial ventures. In addition to its historical value, Hakluyt's Principal Navigations is an invaluable resource for understanding the global interactions and the beginnings of the British Empire. The detailed narratives and extensive catalog of voyages offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of early modern exploration and the age of discovery.
