"Every reader conversant in the annals of our naval transactions will cheerfully acknowledge the merit of Richard Hakluyt, who devoted his studies to the investigation of those periods of English history which regard the improvement of navigation and commerce. To him we are principally indebted for a clear and comprehensive description of those noble discoveries of the English nation, made by sea or overland, to the most distant quarters of the earth. His volumes contain an invaluable treasure of nautical information, which, even at this day, affix to the name of Hakluyt a brilliancy of reputation, which a series of ages can never efface or obscure."-ZoucH's "Life of Sir Philip Sydney." |
