| Summary: | Volume 2 of 2. A collection considered essential to Hakluyt scholars, contains both first and third-person narrative accounts of geographically significant events of the 16th century. Newfoundland is referenced in this volume, both by the Hakluyts in the text, and by the editor in his bibliographical notes; Taylor mentions natives taken from Newfoundland and brought to Spain and the commission of the Marques de la Roche, Viceroy to Newfoundland. The Hakyluts wrote about approaching the Queen to finance planting in the Americas; and a second hand account of a failed attempt at capturing natives in Newfoundland. Volumes 1 and 2 are paged continuously. Includes bibliographical references and index.
