Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address on the Occasion of the Tercentenary of the Death of Richard Hakluyt, 23 November, 1916: With a Note on the Hakluyt Family
Cousin Richard was an excellent guide in matters relat ing to trade, but as Hakluyt grew his horizon widened. From traffic with the distant parts of civilized Europe and Asia he turned to the great unoccupied lands of the west and became an apostle of colonization. He macfi no prophecy that England would become the greatest colon izing power in the world, he merely pointed to the lands that were open, and proclaimed the great Opportunity. The age in which he lived, as he says, was an age wherein God hath raised so general a desire in the youth of this realm to discover all parts of the face of the earth. Every year was marked by voyages which were in contemplation or prosecution, or had either gloriously failed or happily ended. His pride in the exploits of his countrymen is eloquently proclaimed in his Epistle to Sir F. Walsingham, where, with glowing patriotism, he summarizes the exploits of contemporary Englishmen.
