This volume, published by the Hakluyt Society in 1850, compiles various voyages and explorations related to the discovery of America and its neighboring islands. Richard Hakluyt, a notable prebendary of Bristol in 1582, initially gathered these accounts, which were later edited and enhanced with notes and an introduction by John Winter Jones. The Hakluyt Society, renowned for its publication of key historical nautical and travel narratives, aimed to shed light on lesser-known voyages that significantly contributed to the understanding and documentation of new lands during the age of exploration.
