Reissued in a 20-volume 1905-7 edition, this seventeenth-century work compiled by Samuel Purchase (1577-1626) follows Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations in recording voyages of exploration in all regions of the world. It is also notable as an anti-Catholic polemic, and a justification of British settlement in North America.
