ABSTRACT
The title of this volume is taken from a sentence in the ‘Epistle Dedicatorie’ of Richard Hakluyt’s Principall Navigations (1589). Applied there to contemporary English overseas endeavour, the phrase is equally applicable to the past, present, and intended future action of the Hakluyt Society, in making available, in English, a global range of ‘Voyages and Travels’. It thus provides an appropriate title for a volume designed to commemorate one hundred and fifty years of that activity.
