See also:HAKLUYT, See also:RICHARD (c. 1553—1616) , See also:British geographer, was See also:born of See also:good See also:family in or near See also:London about 1553. The Hakluyts were of Welsh extraction, not Dutch as has been supposed. They appear to have settled in See also:Herefordshire as See also:early as the 13th See also:century. The family seat was See also:Eaton, 2 m. S.E. of See also:Leominster. See also:Hugo Hakelute was returned M.P. for that See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf.

borough in 1304/5. Richard went to school at See also:Westminster, where he was a See also:queen's See also:scholar; while there his future See also:bent was determined by a visit to his See also:cousin and namesake, Richard Hakluyt of the See also:Middle See also:Temple. His cousin's discourse, illustrated by " certain bookes of cosmographie, an universall mappe, and the See also:Bible," made See also:young Hakluyt resolve to "prosecute that knowledge and See also:kind of literature."

Oxford, in 1570, his exercises of See also:duty first performed," he See also:fell to his intended course of See also:reading, and by degrees perused all the printed or written voyages and discoveries that he could find. He took his B.A. in 1573/4. It is probable that, shortly after taking his M.A. (1577), he began at Oxford the first-public lectures in See also:geography that " chewed both the old imperfectly composed and the new lately reformed mappes, globes, spheares, and other See also:instruments of this See also:art." That this was not in London is certain, as we know that the first lecture of the kind was delivered in the See also:metropolis on the 4th of See also:November x588 by See also:- THOMAS

Hakluyt's first published See also:work was his See also:Divers Voyages touchingthe Discoverie of See also:America (London, 1582, 4to.). This brought him to the See also:notice of See also:Lord See also:Howard of Effingham, and so to that of See also:Sir See also:Edward See also:Stafford, Lord Howard's See also:brother-in-See also:law; accordingly at the See also:age of See also:thirty, being acquainted with " the chiefest captaines at See also:sea, the greatest merchants, and the best mariners of our nation," he was selected, as See also:chaplain to accompany Stafford, now See also:English See also:ambassador at the See also:French See also:court, to See also:Paris (1583). In accordance with the instructions of Secretary See also:Walsingham, he occupied himself chiefly in See also:collecting See also:information of the See also:Spanish and French movements, and " making diligent inquirie of such things as might yield any See also:light unto our westerne discoverie in America." The first-fruits of Hakluyt's labours in Paris are embodied in his important work entitled A particuler discourse concerning Westerne discoveries written in the yere 1584, by Richarde Hackluyt of Oxforde, at the requeste and direction of the righte worshipfull Mr See also:Walter Raghly before the comynge See also:home of his twoo barkes. This See also:long-lost MS. was_at last printed in 1877. Its See also:object was to recommend the enterprise of planting the English See also:race in the unsettled parts of See also:North America. Hakluyt's other See also:works consist mainly of See also:translations and compilations, relieved by his dedications and prefaces, which last, with a few letters, are the only material we possess out of which a See also:biography of him can be framed. Hakluyt revisited See also:England in 1584, laid before Queen See also:Elizabeth a copy of the Discourse " along with one in Latin upon See also:Aristotle's Politicks," and obtained, two days before his return to Paris, the See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O. Fr. greanter for creanter, popular Lat. creantare, for credentare, to entrust, Lat. credere, to believe, trust)

grant of the next vacant prebend at See also:Bristol, to which he was admitted in 1586 and held with his other preferments till his See also:death.
While in Paris Hakluyt interested himself in the publication of the MS. See also:journal of Laudonniere, the Histoire notable de la See also:Florida, edited by Bassanier (Paris, 1586, 8vo.). This was translated by Hakluyt and published in London under the See also:title of A notable historie containing foure voyages made by certayne French captaynes into Florida (London, 1587, 4t0.). The same See also:year De orbe novo Petri Martyris Anglerii decades octo illustratae labore et See also:industria Richardi Hackluyti saw the light at Paris. This work contains the exceedingly rare copperplate See also:map dedicated to Hakluyt and signed F. G. (supposed to be See also:Francis Gualle); it is the first on which the name of " See also:Virginia " appears.
In 1588 Hakluyt finally returned to England with See also:Lady Stafford, after a See also:residence in See also:France of nearly five years. In 1589 he published the first edition of his See also:chief work, The Principall Navigations, Voiages and Discoveries of the English Nation (fol., London, i vol.). In the See also:preface to this we have the announcement of the intended publication of the first terrestrial globe made in England by See also:Molyneux. In 1598—1600 appeared the final, reconstructed and greatly enlarged edition of The See also:Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation (fol., 3 vols.). Some few copies contain an exceedingly rare map, the first on the See also:Mercator See also:projection made in England according to the true principles laid down by Edward See also:Wright. Hakluyt's See also:great collection, though but little read, has been truly called the " See also:prose epic of the See also:modern English nation." It is an invaluable treasure of material for the See also:history of See also:geographical See also:discovery and colonization, which has secured for its editor a lasting reputation. In 16o1 Hakluyt edited a See also:translation from the Portuguese of See also:Antonio Galvano, The Discoveries of the See also:World (4to., London). In the same year his name occurs as an adviser to the See also:East See also:India See also:Company, supplying them with maps, and informing them as to markets. Meantime in 1590 (See also:April loth) he had been instituted to the rectory of Witheringsett-cum-Brockford, See also:Suffolk. In 1602, on the 4th of May, he was installed See also:prebendary of Westminster, and in the following year he was elected See also:archdeacon of Westminster. In the See also:licence of his second See also:marriage (3oth of See also:March 1604) he is also described as one of the chaplains of the See also:Savoy, and his will contains a reference to See also:chambers occupied by him there up to the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time of his death; in another See also:official document he is styled D.D.
In 16o5 he secured the prospective living of See also:- JAMES
- JAMES (Gr. 'IlrKw,l3or, the Heb. Ya`akob or Jacob)
- JAMES (JAMES FRANCIS EDWARD STUART) (1688-1766)

James See also:Town, the intended See also:capital of the intended See also:colony of Virginia. This See also:benefice he supplied, when the colony was at last established in i6o7, by a See also:curate, one See also:Robert See also:Hunt. In 16o6 he appears as one
of the chief promoters of the See also:petition to the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king for See also:patents to colonize Virginia. He was also a leading adventurer in the London or See also:South Virginia Company. His last publication was a translation of Fernando de See also:Soto's discoveries in Florida, entitled Virginia richly valued by the description of Florida her next See also:neighbour (London, 1609, 4to). This work was intended to encourage the young colony of Virginia; to Hakluyt, it has been said, " England is more indebted for its See also:American See also:possession than to any See also:man of that age." We may notice that it was at Hakluyt's See also:suggestion that Robert Parke translated See also:Mendoza's History of See also:China (London, 1588–1589) and See also:John Pory made his version of See also:Leo See also:Africanus (A Geographical History of See also:Africa, London, 1600). Hakluyt died in 1616 (November 23rd) and was buried in Westminster See also:Abbey (November 26th); by an See also:error in the abbey See also:register his See also:burial is recorded under the year 1626. Out of his various emoluments and preferments (of which the last was Gedney rectory, See also:Lincolnshire, in 1612) he amassed a small See also:fortune, which was squandered by a son. A number of his See also:MSS., sufficient to See also:form a See also:fourth See also:volume of his collections of 1 J98–1600, fell into the hands of See also:Samuel See also:Purchas, who inserted them in an abridged form in his Pilgrimes (1625–1626, fol.). Others are preserved at Oxford (Bib. Bod. MS. Seld. B. 8). which consist chiefly of notes gathered from contemporary authors.
Besides the MSS. or See also:editions noticed in the See also:text (Divers Voyages (1582); Particuler Discourse (1584); Laudonniere's Florida (1587); See also:- PETER

Peter See also:Martyr, Decades (1587) ; Principal Navigations (1589 and 1598–i600); Galvano's Discoveries (16oi); De Soto's Florida See also:record, the Virginia richly valued (16o9, &c.), we may notice the Hakluyt Society's London edition of the Divers Voyages in 185o, the edition of the Particuler Discourse, by See also:Charles See also:Deane in the Collections of the See also:Maine See also:Historical Society (See also:Cambridge, See also:Mass., 1870, with an introduction by Leonard See also:Woods); also, among modern issues of the Principal Navigations, those of 1809 (5 vols., with much additional See also:matter), and of 1903–1905 (See also:Glasgow, 12 vols.). The new title-See also:page issued for the first volume of the final edition of the Principal Navigations, in 1599, merely cancelled the former 1598 title with its reference to the See also:Cadiz expedition of 1596; but from this has arisen the mistaken supposition that a new edition was then (1599) published. Hakluyt's Galvano was edited for the Hakluyt Society by See also:Admiral C. R. D. See also:Bethune in 1862. This Society, which was founded in 1846 for See also:printing rare and unpublished voyages and travels, includes the Glasgow edition of the Principal Navigations in its extra See also:series, as well as C. R. Beazley's edition of See also:Carpini, See also:Rubruquis, and other See also:medieval texts from Hakluyt (Cambridge, 1903, r vol.). Reckoning in these and an issue of Purchas'sPilgrimesby the Glasgow publisher of the Hakluyt of 1903–1905, the society has now published or " fathered " 15o vols. See also Voyages of the Elizabethan See also:Seamen to America, being Select Narratives from the Principal Navigations, by E. J. See also:Payne (Oxford, 188o; 1893; neweditionby,C. R. Beazley, 1907).
