Richard Hakluyt's 12volume Principal Navigations Voyages Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation, originally published at the end of the sixteenth century, and reissued by the Cambridge Library Collection in the edition of 19035, was followed in 1625 by Hakluytus Posthumus or, Purchas his Pilgrimes, now reissued in a 20volume edition published in 19057. When first published in four folio volumes, the work was the largest ever printed in England. An Anglican priest, Samuel Purchas (15771626) was a friend of Hakluyt, and based his great work in part on papers not published by Hakluyt before his death. As well as being a wideranging survey of world exploration, it is notable as an antiCatholic polemic, and a justification of British settlement in North America. Volume 20 covers the capture of Cadiz by the earl of Essex in 1596, and a voyage to the Azores; it concludes with an index to all twenty volumes.
