TAILIEUCHUNG - English Travellers of the Renaissance

Among the many didactic books which flooded England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were certain essays on travel. Some of these have never been brought to light since their publication more than three hundred years ago, or been mentioned by the few writers who have interested themselves in the literature of this subject. In the collections of voyages and explorations, so often garnered, these have found no place. Most of them are very rare, and have never been reprinted.

In the preparation of this book I incurred many debts of gratitude. I would thank the staff of the Bodleian especially Mr . Somerset for their kindness during the two years I was working in the library of Oxford University and Dr Perlbach Abteilungsdirektor of the Konigliche Bibliothek at Berlin who forwarded to me some helpful information concerning the early German books of instructions for travellers and Professor Clark S. Northup of Cornell University for similar aid. To Mr George Whale I am indebted for the use of his transcript of Sloane MS. 1813 and to my friend Miss .
