The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This account of Frobisher's voyages in search of the North-West Passage in the sixteenth century was compiled in 1867 from the first edition of Hakluyt's Voyages (1589) with additional manuscript documents. The southern areas of the New World having been claimed by Spain and Portugal, British and Dutch sailors took the lead in exploring the North Atlantic, both in search of profit from the lands first discovered by Cabot in 1500, but also in an effort to find an alternative route to the East.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Life of Sir Martin Frobisher\u003cbr\u003e State papers previous to the first voyage\u003cbr\u003e The first voyage\u003cbr\u003e State papers subsequent to the first voyage\u003cbr\u003e The second voyage\u003cbr\u003e State papers subsequent to the second voyage\u003cbr\u003e State papers previous to the third voyage\u003cbr\u003e State papers relative to the outfit for the third voyage\u003cbr\u003e The third voyage\u003cbr\u003e Another account of the third voyage, by Edward Sellman\u003cbr\u003e State papers subsequent to the third voyage\u003cbr\u003e Descriptive catalogue of Frobisher relics\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Early modern history: c 1450\/1500 to c 1700 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Early modern history: c 1450\/1500 to c 1700\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Early%20modern%20history:%20c%201450\/1500%20to%20c%201700%20%5BHBLH%5D%22\"\u003eHBLH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265925763352,"sku":"9781108010757","price":38.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108010757i_d5e29984-1d5d-4198-b2ed-3b5a9b487a6b.jpg?v=1694867494","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-three-voyages-of-martin-frobisher-in-search-of-a-passage-to-cathaia-and-india-by-the-north-west-a-d-1576-8-paperback-9781108010757","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
