The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, & covering voyages to the New World, to China & Japan, to Russia & to Africa & India. This 1868 volume is the first publication in English of a book originally published in Mexico in 1609, which describes the Spanish 'discovery, conquest & conversion' of the Philippines in the 16th century, & the administration of this part of the Spanish empire. The introductory essay situates the book in the context of the historiography of the Spanish empire, & identifies parallels for the colonial experience, & especially for the treatment of indigenous peoples, in the issues confronting the mid-19th century British empire.
