Description
The Hakluyt Society continues to produce fine volumes. Members will have already received the third and final volume of the Malaspina Expedition as well as Michael Brennan's selection of documents on the origins of The Grand Tour. Because of the Hakluyt Society's transition to a new publishing and printing arrangement, members will receive the 2005 volumes in the Third Series in May 2006: Joyce Lorimer's edition of Sir Walter Ralegh's Discoverie of Guiana and Pieter Rivière's edition of Guiana Travels of Sir Robert Schomburgk, 1835-1844.
The principal goal for us is to increase U.S. membership in the Society, both institutional and individual. As you well know, Hakluyt Society volumes make a wonderful addition to any personal library. It is unfathomable that Society membership in the United States is falling and not rising. I hope that all of you will encourage younger scholars to join and to benefit from the Society, as I certainly have since joining in 1969.
In addition to increasing membership, donations are essential to the Society's success. I hope you will once more be able to contribute to the continuing work of the Hakluyt Society, through a generous donation to the American Friends that is TAX DEDUCTIBLE under U.S. law. For every donor who makes a gift of more than $500 to the Hakluyt Society through the American Friends in 2005, we are happy to present a copy of the paperback edition of the 228-page, John Carter Brown Library illustrated exhibition catalogue: The Boundless Deep: The European Conquest of the Oceans, 1450-1840.
