London: George Bishop, Ralph Newberrie and Robert Barker, 1599-1600. The second, expanded edition of Volume I. The first edition of Volumes II and III as they were not part of the first edition. With the second state of the title-page which has the publication year of 1599, the mention of Cadiz has been removed and it also has "yeres" for "years". This copy retains the often excised leafs about Cadiz (pp 607-620). Three books in two folio volumes (11 x 7 1/4 inches;278 x 185 mm ). [24, 620; [16], 312, 204; [16], 868 pp. Black letter. Woodcut initials and head- and tail-pieces. Bound without the map in the third volume as usual. Pforzheimer notes: "it is generally allowed that the map which belongs in that third volume, only occasionally found, was not issued with all copies." In the style of 17th century full calf, neatly rebacked with 17th century spines. Boards with gilt central device. Spines ruled in gilt. Tan morocco spine labels, lettered in gilt. Newer endpapers. Some scorching to the top and bottom margin of the first volume, occasionally touching the heading and page number. The final three leaves (Rrr4-6) of the first book (volume II) with some staining. Occasional dampstaining. Previous owner's occasional old ink marginalia. The first title-page with two early ink signatures. Armorial bookplate on verso of the first and third title-pages. Still, overall a very good copy. "The most complete collection of voyages and discoveries, by land as well as by sea, and of the nautical achievements of the Elizabethans" (PMM on first edition) This is the second state of the second edition of this celebrated chronicle, which comprises a remarkable and comprehensive assemblage of English exploration narratives from the sixteenth-century As is well known, Elizabeth I ordered the excision of the account of the 1596 Voyage to Cadiz after the Earl of Essex (a principal player at Cadiz) disgraced himself by returning from Ireland without leave on 28 September 1599. Unlike many other copies, the account of the Voyage to Cadiz is still present in this copy. The third volume of this title is entirely devoted to America. Richard Hakluyt (1552?-1616), English scholar and clergyman. His Principal Navigations (1589) "contains accounts of the voyages of Raleigh, of the Cabots, of Drake's circumnavigation, of Martin Frobisher's search for the Northwest Passage, and the like. His work, which reflects the great exploring spirit of the Elizabethan age, gave additional impetus to English exploration, conquest, and colonization" (Benét's Reader's Encyclopedia). According to Church, " Hakluyt's Principall Navigations was the fruit of a life devoted to promoting the cause of English colonisation and commerce by disseminating knowledge about, and stimulating interest in, all the less known, or recently discovered parts of the world', and the supplement 'contains fourteen rare works not easily accessible in any other form, and is quite as important as either of the volumes published in [Hakluyt's] time." In regards to the first edition of this title, this is the first appearance of Sir Francis Drake's account of his circumnavigation which also includes his exploration of the California Coast. "Hakluyt had indeed begun to prepare such an account [of Drake's Circumnavigation] but withdrew it so as not to prejudice a collection of Drake's voyages which was in preparation. Permission now came to insert it, not improbably from Drake himself" (Hakluyt Handbook, p. 475). Church 322. Fox I pp.3-4. STC 12626. Hill 744. Pforzheimer 443. PMM 105. Sabin 29595.

Three vols bound in two, folio, pp. I: [24], 619, [1 (blank)], II: [16], 312, 204, III: [16], 868; without folding engraved map; woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces; dampstaining and slight soiling to lower outer corners of vols I and II, and some dampstaining to corners of vol. III, closed tears without loss to vol. I pp. 69-72, some toning, occasional small marks; overall a good set in early nineeteenth-century red morocco, gilt borders and cornerpieces, spines gilt-ruled in compartments, lettered and numbered directly in gilt, edges gilt, dark blue glazed endpapers; some wear to spines, joints, and corners, a few small marks and abrasions to boards, spines darkened, hinges partially split; modern gift inscription to front endpaper of vol. I, eighteenth-or nineteeth-century notes in Spanish to front endpaper of vol. II and occasional marginal ink annotations (cropped).Second edition, first issue of 'Hakluyt's monumental masterpiece, and the great prose epic of the Elizabethan period' (Penrose), complete with the section on the conquest of Cadiz by Essex (vol. I, pp. 607-619) ordered suppressed by Elizabeth I in 1599 (in ESTC state 1a). The edition of 1598/91600 was greatly expanded from the single-volume original version of 1589 and constitutes effectively a new work: 'the first edition contained about 700,000 words, while the second contained about 1,700,000 . In design it was similar to the first edition: the first volume concerned voyages to the north and northeast; the second volume, to the south and southeast; the third volume, to America. All sections were expanded; the first two were approximately doubled and the American part was almost tripled. Much that was new and important was included: the travels of Newbery and Fitch, Lancaster's first voyage, the new achievements in the Spanish Main, and particularly Ralegh's tropical adventures. At first sight the expanded work appears a vast, confused repository, but closer examination reveals a definite unity and a continuous thread of policy. The book must always remain a great work of history, and a great sourcebook of geography, while the accounts themselves constitute a body of narrative literature which is of the highest value in understanding the spirit and the tendencies of the Tudor age' (Penrose, p. 318). In common with all but a few copies it lacks the map of the 240 copies in Quinn's census only nineteen have the map and he remarks that even allowing for the ravages of time this 'survival rate is sufficiently low to raise the possibility that not all copies were equipped with the map, either because it was made available after many sets had been sold (which would mean that its date might be later than 1599), or because it was an optional extra supplied at additional cost' (p.496).

282 x 190 mm. (11 1/8 x 7 1/2"). Vol. I with the suppressed section on the 1596 Voyage to Cadiz present as a reprint issued ca. 1720 (per ESTC), pages numbered 607-20. Three volumes. Excellent blind-tooled diced russia, ca. 1800, expertly and attractively rebacked with matching calf, raised bands, spine panels gilt with central patera, gilt lettering, with author's name spelled "Hacklyt, marbled endpapers, leather hinges, edges speckled. Without the map in volume III, as usual. Church 322; Hill Collection, p. 131-32; Pforzheimer 443; PMM 105 (for the first edition of 1589); Sabin 29595; STC 12626; ESTC S106744. Extremities with very minor rubbing, hinge exposed after **2 (but everything tight), text washed and pressed (with title pages rather limp and gray), first quire of volume I and first two leaves of second quire tipped onto front flyleaf, titles and other early leaves with well-executed repair at gutter (no loss of text), intermittent browning due to paper quality, more pronounced on a dozen or so quires, occasional ink stains or small paper repairs, (repair to final leaf of second volume affecting parts of perhaps a half dozen words of text on each side), a score of openings with chalk-like residue. The text not without issues, but a voluminous work that has still held up well under use, and the sturdy restored binding making an attractive appearance on the shelf. This is the "definitive edition," in Hill's words, of "the most complete collection of voyages and discoveries, by land as well as by sea, and of the nautical achievements of the Elizabethans." First printed in 1789, and expanded here to more than 1,700,000 words, "Principal Navigations" records some of the most significant voyages of the age--including Drake's circumnavigation of the world--and encourages further adventures, especially in service of the expansion of British maritime enterprise and the establishment of colonies in the New World. It was admired by Hakluyt's contemporaries and remains relevant today: according to Britannica, "its scholarship and comprehensiveness transcended all geographical literature to date," and DNB notes that it "continues to be an invaluable source for narratives not otherwise preserved." Sabin says simply that "it is difficult to overrate the importance and value of this extraordinary collection of voyages." Fascinated by geography and mariners from childhood, Hakluyt (1552? - 1616) began while a student at Oxford to collect and read all the extant accounts of voyages he could find. He translated many reports into English himself, sought out the acquaintance of explorers like Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh, and corresponded with Continental geographers Abraham Ortelius and Gerardus Mercator. "Principal Navigations" is notable for Hakluyt's obsession with accuracy, his insistence on first-hand accounts, and his careful and logical organization of the contents into three parts by geographical region. The work begins with English travels to India, the Levant, and Southeast Asia, then turns to Africa, including Egypt and the Cape of Good Hope. The second section looks to the areas north and northeast of Britain: Lapland, Russia, the Caspian Sea region, and Tartary. The third and final part is concerned with Hakluyt's great enthusiasm: "the English valiant attempts in searching almost all the corners of the vaste and new world of America." An addition to our second edition is an account of the English navy's victory, led by the Earl of Essex, over the Spanish Armada at Cadiz. This portion of 14 pages in vol. I was removed in 1599, when Essex fell out of favor with Elizabeth, and is not infrequently missing (even in copies selling for very substantial sums). As is infrequently the case, this censored text has been restored to our copy in the form of a reprint issued ca. 1720. As usual, the Molyneux-Wright world map is lacking from our set. According to Pforzheimer, "it is generally allowed that the map which belongs in that t.

Folio, pp.[16], 242, [2, blank], 243505, [1], 506643, [12], 644825, [12], with the folding world map (333 x 485mm, 'Typus Orbis Terrarum', after Ortelius (Shirley 167), often lacking, here washed and remounted), the medial blank X4 and the terminal final blank 4F4. and the six unpaginated 'Drake leaves' (not always present); Bowes leaves in the first state (headed 'The Ambassage of Sir Hierome Bowes to the Emperour of Moscovie 1583', paginated 491505); short tear to foot of R1 neatly repaired, small rusthole in Ll23, else a fine, crisp copy recased in its original, strictly contemporary London binding of roll-tooled calf over wooden boards (heads in wreaths and a capstan, not in Oldham), clasps repaired using the original metalwork, spine dry and with some restoration, some wormholes to rear cover, new endpapers; crimson morocco pull-off box.First edition, a fine copy, with the world map, in a strictly contemporary London binding, of the first collection of English voyages. 'Richard Hakluyt's collection of voyages is one of the more famous works of Elizabethan history and literature, but it is generally known and read in the three-volume edition, The principal navigations, of 15981600 To get the freshest flavour from Hakluyt it is necessary to go to The principall navigations (distinguished conveniently by the doubled l of the second word in the title) of 1589. The narratives are nearer to the events they describe, some of them being tumbled in while the book was in the press, and Hakluyt set them out in a way which makes many of them more vivid and effective than after they had been sifted, scrubbed or pruned for the second edition . The main bulk of the English voyages made in the early and middle parts of the Elizabethan period is already there, sometimes in versions of which this first edition is the only extant record. The first edition shows how Hakluyt went to work and it represents his original purposes in setting out a great, comprehensive collection on English achievements overseas' (Burns). The world map combines several of Ortelius's maps, with the central oval taken from his third world map of 1587, and the cloud border from earlier plates. It was later re-used in the 1598 English translation of Linschoten's Voyages. The present copy, with its few and minor faults, is in our opinion one of the best likely to appear on the market. The text, which is fresh and clean, includes the six 'Drake leaves' following p.643, giving the earliest printed narrative of Drake's celebrated circumnavigation (157780), and has the 'Bowes leaves' in their first state (pp.491501). These bibliographical points are best explained by Quinn: 'after the book was complete and printed off two events took place which were to alter the form of surviving copies. In the first place permission was received to print an account of Drake's circumnavigation. Hakluyt had indeed begun to prepare such an account but withdrew it so as not to prejudice a collection of Drake's voyages which was in preparation. Permission now came to insert it, not improbably from Drake himself. Accordingly Hakluyt, or one of his assistants, pared down the available materials had them printed on the same paper and in the same type as the rest of the book, and sent them out with most of the copies sold. It would appear that some few copies were issued without the Drake leaves, and that then a certain number were issued with the Drake leaves and without any other changes [as in the present copy]. At that point a further alteration took place: the leaves containing Sir Jerome Bowes's report of his Russian embassy in 15834 were cancelled', possibly at the instigation of the Russia Company. 'In any event, a more discreet and shorter version of Bowes's narrative was prepared: "printed this second time, according to the true copie I received of a gentleman that went on the same voyage, for the correction of the errours in the former impression", as Hakluyt says'.
