"Richard Hakluyt's 'The Principal Navigations, Voyages,
Traffiques, and Discoveries of the English Nation' is the
most important collection of English travel writing ever published.
The territories it describes cover every area of European activity
and aspiration in the period, from the New World to Muscovy,
the Levant, Persia, the East Indies and Africa. The work was
instrumental in promoting English expansion through colonial
and trade ventures around the globe."
