Abstract

Richard Hakluyt’s stated intention in e Principall Navigations in 1589 was to rouse the English from their ‘sluggish security’ to emulate the achievements of ‘other nations miraculously extolled for their discoveries and notable enterprises by sea’.1 In 1599, in the second volume of the second edition of e Principal Navigations, he repeated this call for his countrymen to leave ‘those so unprotable pleasures wherein they now too much consume their time and patrimonie’.2
