About This Item
There are several underlined passages in the Introduction. Covers are intact without creases, chips, or tears. Volume is age toned but appears little used. A solid copy. "Thus out of the intellectual, social, economic, and religious unrest and confusion grew seventeenth-century England's dream of a better and more profitable world overseas. Writers like Hakluyt did their best to present America as the cure-all of England's problems and the end-all of her ambitions. But his ardent hope that, 'God, which doth all things in his due time, and hath in his hand the hearts of all princes, (might) stir up the mind of her majesty at length to assist her most willing and forward subjects to the performance of this most godly and profitable action' was to be frustrated for some years." pp. xiv-xv.
