The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This account of Drake's circumnavigation of the world in 1577-1580 was first published by his nephew in 1628 and appears to derive from notes made by Francis Fletcher, the chaplain to the expedition, although a surviving manuscript account by Fletcher is not identical. The introduction to this edition (published in 1854) discusses textual problems, and also puts the narrative into the context of Drake's career as one of the privateers who carried on England's unacknowledged war with Spain in the decades before the Armada.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... The original work, of which the present volume is a reprint (the original spelling, too, having been preserved, as is the custom in other works of this Society), was published in 1628, in a small quarto, collected by the nephew of the Admiral out of the notes of Francis Fletcher, who was the chaplain on board Drake's ship. It is probable that but few copies were printed, and that on this account the work has now become exceedingly rare. To this reprint are added, in the form of foot-notes, extracts from a manuscript which exists in the British Museum [Sloane. No. 61], written, as appears from a notice in the last page of it, in 1577, and professing to be a literal copy of the notes first made by the said Francis Fletcher. This manuscript is headed with the words, --" The first part of the second voiage about the world, attempted, continued, and happily accomplished within the tyme of three yeares, by M. ffrancis Drake, at her highness command, and his company, written and faithfully layed downe by Ffrancis Ffletcher, Minister of Christ and Preacher of the Gospell, adventurer and traveller in the same voyage." On the flyleaf of the same manuscript, are the words, --" Ex libris Joh. Conyers, Pharmacopolist," and, to a very rude map of England which appears on the second page, is added, --" This is a mapp of England, an exact copy of the originall to a haire, and that done by ffrancis Ffletcher in Queen Elizabeth's tyme: --this copye by Jo. Conyers, cittizen and apothecary of London, togeather with the rest and by the same hand as follows." It is, indeed, perfectly clear, that from this or from some other copy of this same journal, Sir Francis Drake, the nephew, must have compiled his narrative; for there is no one who compares the two stories...
