PUBLISHERS' NOTE

 Work of Hakluyt and a full Index to the whole 

 text, will be included in the twelfth volume. 



The Publishers desire to express their indebtedness 

 to Mr. Basil H. Soulsby, Superintendent of the Map 

 Room, British Museum, and Secretary of the Hakluyt 

 Society, for his assistance in the selection of maps and

All the maps, plans, and charts in this edition are
