The First Colonists; Hakluyt's Voyages to North America. A modern version

Published by The Folio Society, 1986, with slipcase, hardcover, illlustrated, buckram cloth covering, 142 pages, A4 size, condition: as new.

Richard Hakluyt (c. 1552 or 1553 - 1616) was an English writer. He is principally remembered for his efforts in promoting and supporting the settlement of North America by the English through his works, notably Divers Voyages Touching the Discoverie of America (1582) and The Principal Navigations, Voiages, Traffiques and Discoueries of the English Nation (1589 - 1600).


Great books should be outstanding not only in literary content but also in their physical form: this has always been the philosophy of the publishers, The Folio Society (FS). FS books as tactile and aesthetic objects has been a constant hallmark. FS beleives reading is enhanced by the book itself, in which typography, illustration, paper, printing and binding all play a part in creating a harmonious whole. In a world of declining publishing standards, where most books are cheaply printed, and bound using low-grade materials, The Folio Society resolutely sets store by traditional values of excellence. From introducers who make up the great names of modern literature and academia, and editors and picture researchers who ensure unrivalled standards of research and textual work, to  artists who have swept the board in so many illustrations awards FSo offers a complete experience for the book-lover. The FS sets the bar for exceptional literary merit. Designed for longevity, delight and to build the world's best collectors' libraries, Folio editions are, above all, crafted for the ultimate reading experience.
