Item description from seller

Pp. xii+268frontispiece portrait, plus 1 full page illustrations and 4 full page maps, a few text figures, bibliography, index; small cr. 4to; navy cloth, lettered and decorated in gilt, spine ruled in blind; dust wrapper, top edge a trifle creased; The Hakluyt Society, London, 2001. Hakluyt Third Series No. 6. *'Martin Frobisher's third (1578) voyage to Baffin Island was the consequence of the flawed logic and excessive optimism of the adventurers of the ephemeral Company of Cathay. Their original intention - to find a north-western route to the Far East - had been largely forgotten following the imagined discovery of gold-and silver-bearing ore in Meta Incognita (the Unknown Limits) as Elizabeth I had named the forbidding and icy landscape which Frobisher and seventeen mariners had first sighted two years earlier. This was to be the English nation's first experience of a gold rush' [wrapper blurb].
