The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This 1892 volume contains the letters of a seventeenth-century Italian traveller to India. An important historical source on South India, it contains vivid descriptions and fascinating ethnographic details.
