Hakluyt was one of the primary promoters of English colonization of Virginia. "Hakluyt with his collection of exemplary English voyages served the historic function of propagandist for English mercantilism and colonial expansion." - Streeter Sale 28. "In a word, many of such useful tracts of sea adventures, which before were scattered as several ships, Mr. Hakluyt hath embodied into a fleet, divided into three squadrons so many several volumes; a work of great honour to England" (Thomas Fuller, The History of the Worthies of England). An important work in early England exploration. <br> References: Church 322; Golier English 14; Hill 131-132; Palau 112038 & 112039; Pforzheimer 443; STC 12626; Alden/Landis 594/42; Printing in the Mind of Man 105; Sabin 29595.
