Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. xi+336 pages with 30 plates, including frontispiece, appendices and index. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and decorative gilt sailing ship, Victoria, to front cover in original jacket. Second series, volume 183. First edition. Since 1846 the Hakluyt Society has published over 200 scholar editions of "Voyages and Travels", these being the primary sources of the initial stages of intercontinental "cultural encounter", as well as documents of exploratory enterprise. The present volume of essays celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Society. A general essay by one of the editors, Paul Hair, examines the set of editions for evidence of their geographical and chronological range, their scholarly editing, their ideological presuppositions, and the light that they throw on developments over the period in the nature and management of the Society. Next a series of biographical essays relates distinguished figures in the history of the Society to their immediate context within British society and British overseas activities. Roy Bridges discusses the foundation of the Society and the role of the almost forgotten progenitor, the geographer Desborough Cooley. Tony Campbell, map Librarian of the British Library, draws attention to the relationship between the British Museum and the early Society, through a wide-ranging study of the life and career of R H Major, publiciser of "Henry the Navigator". The multifarious activities of Clements Markham, the longest-serving Honorary Secretary of the Society in the whole period, whose interests ranged from Polar explorations to Inca drama, are considered by Ann Savours. An engineer in mid-Victorian India who became a leading expert on medieval European travelers to China, Henry Yule is the subject of an essay by Richard Bingle. Three later figures are also assessed, in each case by a scholar who was acquainted with the individual: William Foster who worked from the India Office and published extensively on the records of teh English East India Company; R A Skelton, whose accidental death in 1970 brought to an end a notable series of studies in historical cartography; and Esmond de Beer, editor of Evely and Locke, who presided over the Society in the 1970s. The essays are followed by a detailed list of Hakluyt Society publications 1847-1995, and an index to the title-pages. Condition: A near fine copy in like jacket.…
