He discovered Senegal, Cape Verd, and Gambia River. In a second voyage, in 1456, he pushed as far as the Saint Dominic River. On his return to his native land in 1464, he published an account of his travels.6.Vasco da Gama was the first to double the Cape of Good Hope. Died at Cochin, 24th December 1525.7.Alonzo, Duke of Albuquerque, an illegitimate descendant of the Kings of Portugal, established the Portuguese power on the East Coast of Africa, in Arabia, the Persian Gulf, further India, the Moluccas, etc. As Viceroy of the East Indies, his justice and chivalrous nature won the love and respect of all, and many years after his death, which happened in 1515, the natives used to make pilgrimages to his tomb to pray for justice against his cruel successors.8.Ceylon.9.Marginal note.—The ewer of metal brought by M.

First, there was the fabulous city of Norumbega, situated on the Penobucot. Secondly, there was the country of Norumbega, embracing Nova Scotia and New England, and at one time reaching from Cape Breton to 30 deg. in Florida. Subsequently it receded to narrower limits and embraced only the region on both sides of the river above named.

HisHistoria general de los Indiaswas not published in its entirety until 1851-55.

(See Eden's version of Gomara's Historia general, cap. xiv. Woods.)43.For an account of this earliest colony of Protestantism in America, consult Bayle'sDictionnaire, Art.VillegagnonandRicker; Cotton Mather,Magnalia, Book I., Southey's History of Brazil; De Thou, Maimbourg, etc.44.Dr. Woods thinks Hakluyt is mistaken in saying ministers went out with Ribault to Florida. It is indeed hardly likely that Coligny would have thus alienated the sympathy of Charles IX.45.Master Wolfall was the name of the minister who accompanied Frobisher, (see vol. xii. of this edition, p. 81), and Master Francis Fletcher was with Drake in his voyage round the world in 1577-80. His notes of the voyage were republished by the Hakluyt Society in 1854.46.See the accounts of Voyages to Barbary given in Vol. xi. of this Edition.47.See Vol xi. of this Edition.48.Hakluyt was chaplain to the English Ambassador in Paris for five years.49.Russye.50.This is Ivan III., surnamedthe Great; he asked Queen Elizabeth in marriage in 1579.51.When Hakluyt speaks of Florida, he means not only the peninsula so called now, but as far north as 36 degrees. The most northerly European colony in 1584 was situated south of the present town of Savannah. It was probably St. Augustine.52.The work alluded to is Ribault's“The whole and true discoverye of Terra Florida.... Prynted at London by Rouland Hall for Thomas Hacket. 1563.”A copy is in the British Museum. The French version is one of the lost books of the world.53.This“Joyfull Newes”was a translation by Frampton of the“Historia Medicinal ... de nuestras Indias,”(1574), of Nicholas Monardes, a learned Spaniard, who died in 1578. The English version was published in 1577. (C.D.) A copy is in my library.54.Probably Jean Parmentier, of Dieppe.55.Not improbably the old seaport ofBrouage, near La Rochelle, now deserted. This appears to be the only notice extant of an expedition by de La Roche in 1584. For an account of his later expedition, consult Parkman,Pioneers of France, pp. 210-212.—C.D.56.The full account in English of de Coronado's travels is given by Hakluyt in this collection. Hakluyt probably was ignorant of Spanish, as be always quotes the French or Italian versions.57.Captain Richard Whitbourne, of Exmouth, in his Preface to "A Discourse and Discovery of Newfoundland," London, 1620, says he was an eye-witness to Sir H.

Emden was the capital of East Friseland. With reference to the removal of the English merchants at Antwerp to Emden, consult Strype's Life of Grindall, Oxford, cap, ix.64.No less than seven editions of Sleidan'sDe quatuor monarchiiswere printed by the Elzeviers alone, a proof of the popularity of the work.

(C.D.)40.It appears from a passage in Chapter xvii. of this Discourse that Hakluyt had seen an original manuscript account of Cartier's second voyage in the Royal Library at Paris.41.This title was conferred on Henry VIII. by Leo X. by a bull dated the fifth of the Ides of October 1521, for his book“Assertio Septem Sacramentorum adversus Martin Lutherum,”etc., printed by Pynson, 1521.42.Friar Luys Cancel of Balvastro was, with other friars, sent to Florida by Philip II. in 1549, where they were massacred and eaten. (See Eden's version of Gomara's Historia general, cap. xiv. Woods.)43.For an account of this earliest colony of Protestantism in America, consult Bayle'sDictionnaire, Art.VillegagnonandRicker; Cotton Mather,Magnalia, Book I., Southey's History of Brazil; De Thou, Maimbourg, etc.44.Dr. Woods thinks Hakluyt is mistaken in saying ministers went out with Ribault to Florida. It is indeed hardly likely that Coligny would have thus alienated the sympathy of Charles IX.45.Master Wolfall was the name of the minister who accompanied Frobisher, (see vol. xii. of this edition, p. 81), and Master Francis Fletcher was with Drake in his voyage round the world in 1577-80. His notes of the voyage were republished by the Hakluyt Society in 1854.46.See the accounts of Voyages to Barbary given in Vol. xi. of this Edition.47.See Vol xi. of this Edition.48.Hakluyt was chaplain to the English Ambassador in Paris for five years.49.Russye.50.This is Ivan III., surnamedthe Great; he asked Queen Elizabeth in marriage in 1579.51.When Hakluyt speaks of Florida, he means not only the peninsula so called now, but as far north as 36 degrees. The most northerly European colony in 1584 was situated south of the present town of Savannah. It was probably St. Augustine.52.The work alluded to is Ribault's“The whole and true discoverye of Terra Florida.... Prynted at London by Rouland Hall for Thomas Hacket. 1563.”A copy is in the British Museum. The French version is one of the lost books of the world.53.This“Joyfull Newes”was a translation by Frampton of the“Historia Medicinal ... de nuestras Indias,”(1574), of Nicholas Monardes, a learned Spaniard, who died in 1578. The English version was published in 1577. (C.D.) A copy is in my library.54.Probably Jean Parmentier, of Dieppe.55.Not improbably the old seaport ofBrouage, near La Rochelle, now deserted. This appears to be the only notice extant of an expedition by de La Roche in 1584. For an account of his later expedition, consult Parkman,Pioneers of France, pp. 210-212.—C.D.56.The full account in English of de Coronado's travels is given by Hakluyt in this collection. Hakluyt probably was ignorant of Spanish, as be always quotes the French or Italian versions.57.Captain Richard Whitbourne, of Exmouth, in his Preface to "A Discourse and Discovery of Newfoundland," London, 1620, says he was an eye-witness to Sir H. Gilbert's taking possession of the countrey—C.D.58.This work was reprinted in full by Hakluyt in this collection.See ante.59.Also reprinted in full in the collection.See ante.60.This voyage of Cortereale took place in 1500.61.In all these Italian quotations, the edition by Dr. Deane has the wordeoredspelledet, a curious blunder.62.In a“True Discourse of the late voyages of discoverie,”written by George Best, who accompanied Frobisher, London, 1578, and reprinted by the Hakluyt Society.63.This is a lost book. Emden was the capital of East Friseland. With reference to the removal of the English merchants at Antwerp to Emden, consult Strype's Life of Grindall, Oxford, cap, ix.64.No less than seven editions of Sleidan'sDe quatuor monarchiiswere printed by the Elzeviers alone, a proof of the popularity of the work. An English translation by John Daus was published in London in 1560.65.Reprinted in Hakluyt's“Divers Voyages,”1582.66.See Myles Phillip's Voyage,post. Also consult Nicholas,Pleasaunt Historie of the Conquest of the Weast India, 1578, pp. 378-9.67.Utrecht.68.These baseless assertions of complicity on the part of Phillip in the attempts on the life of William of Nassau, only prove the bitter prejudices of the Protestant party. I am surprised to find Dr. Deane, in a note on this passage, endorsing Hakluyt's unfounded charges.69.Marnix de Sainte Aldegonde was born at Brussels in 1538. Died 1598. He was at one time Ambassador to England.—See Motley's United Netherlands, I. 145.—C.D.70.Golfo Dulce.71.No such river was ever cut.—C.D.72.Off the cost of Venezuela.73.Port-au-Prince.74.It is strange the Hakluyt should omit St. Vincent, Dominica, Guadeloupe, etc., and mention such small islands as Marigalante. The other two islands named are probably Urala and Curasoa.75.This quotation is from the English translation,“The Spanish Colonie,”London, 1583.76.Hakluyt here refers to his“Divers Voyages,”published in 1582.77.This is not the case.78.See the translation of Zeno's Voyages, printed by the Hakluyt Society, and edited by Major.79.See Introductory note.80.The illegitimate son of the Infant Don Luiz and Violante Gomes.
