Abstract

Richard Hakluyt's 12-volume Principal Navigations Voyages Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation, originally published at the end of the sixteenth century, and reissued by the Cambridge Library Collection in the edition of 1903-5, was followed in 1625 by Hakluytus Posthumus or, Purchas his Pilgrimes, now reissued in a 20-volume edition published in 1905-7. When first published in four folio volumes, the work was the largest ever printed in England. An Anglican priest, Samuel Purchas (1577-1626) was a friend of Hakluyt, and based his great work in part on papers not published by Hakluyt before his death. As well as being a wide-ranging survey of world exploration, it is notable as an anti-Catholic polemic, and a justification of British settlement in North America. Volume 16 includes accounts of the West Indies, Puerto Rico, Guiana, and Brazil, and of the discovery of the river Amazon.

Abstract

An anthropologist & archaeologist working for much of his life at the British Museum, Thomas Athol Joyce succeeded in making American archaeology more accessible to non-specialists. Through careful analysis & presentation of the available evidence from South & Central America, he secured his reputation as an authority in this field, especially with regard to Mayan civilisation. Drawing on his wide reading of the published literature, he produced three pioneering & highly illustrated textbooks. The present work appeared in 1916 & focuses on Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama & the West Indies. The laws, religion, customs & daily life of the various indigenous peoples are discussed & compared, with thorough illustration & examination of a range of artefacts. Joyce intended his summary of the evidence to serve as 'a signpost for future investigators'.
