Cambridge, UK: Hakluyt Society, 1959. Hakluyt Soc. Pub. Second Series. "First full account of the voyage of Edward Fenton, who set out in 1582 on a privateering voyage which was meant to outdo the exploits of Drake." The voyage failed, so Hakluyt never wrote it up. However, centuries later, editor Taylor has assembled the records and put the story together. Very good condition in dust jacket. Spine of jacket lightly sunned.. 22 cm. lvii, 333 pp. b/w ills, maps.
