Transcriber's Notes

The printed edition from which this e text has been produced retains the spelling and abbreviations 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 are added by the editor. 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 [Sidenote: ] 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 placed at a convenient point. Additional notes on corrections, etc. are signed 'KTH'
