By Richard Hakluyt

Book Overview

The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques And Discoveries Of The English Nation, V. 3 is a historical book written by Richard Hakluyt. It is a compilation of various accounts of English explorers and merchants from the 16th and 17th centuries. The book covers a wide range of topics including the discovery of America, the exploration of Africa and Asia, trade routes, and the establishment of English colonies in the New World. The book is divided into different sections, each focusing on a particular region or topic. The accounts are written by the explorers themselves or by eyewitnesses, providing a firsthand perspective of the events. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the early days of English exploration and trade, and provides valuable insights into the cultural, economic, and political factors that shaped the world during that time.It remaineth that a larger discourse be made of Mosco, the principall City of that Countrey, and of the Prince also, as before we haue promised. The Empire and gouernment of the king is very large, and his wealth at this time exceeding great. And because the citie of Mosco is the chiefest of al the rest, it seemeth of it selfe to challenge the first place in this discourse. Our men say, that in bignesse it is as great as the Citie of London, with the suburbes thereof. There are many and great buildings in it, but for beautie and fairenesse, nothing comparable to ours. There are many Townes and Villages also, but built out of order, and with no hansomnesse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
