Transcriber’s Notes

The printed edition from which this e-text has been produced retains the spelling and abreviations of Hakluyt’s 16th-century original. In this version, the spelling has been retained, but the following manuscript abbreviations have been silently expanded:

— vowels with macrons = vowel + ‘n’ or ‘m’
— q; = —que (in the Latin)
— y[e] = the;
— y[t] = that;
— w[t] = with

This edition contains footnotes and two types of sidenotes. Most footnotes were added by the editor [Goldsmid]. They follow modern (19th-century) spelling conventions. Those that don’t are Hakluyt’s (and are not always systematically marked as such by the editor). The sidenotes are Hakluyt’s own. Summarizing sidenotes are labelled [ ] and placed before the sentence to which they apply. Sidenotes that are keyed with a symbol are labeled [Marginal note: ] and placed at the point of the symbol, except in poetry, where they are moved to the nearest convenient break in the text.
