The editor has, ‘grouped together those voyages which relate to the same parts of the globe, instead of adopting the somewhat haphazard arrangement of the original edition.’ Thus: Northern Europe; North-Eastern Europe, and adjacent countries, part I Tartary, parts II & III The Muscovy Company and the North-East Passage; Central and Southern Europe; Madeira and the Canaries; Ancient Asia, Africa, & c.; England’s naval exploits against Spain; Asia (3 parts); Africa; America (4 parts in 5 volumes); West Indies; Voyages of Circumnavigation (2 parts); Miscellaneous; Index. The first handy edition of Hakluyt, benefiting from the scholarship of the editor and many new maps and illustrations, but still very uncommon especially in this condition.
