The account of the voyage is here presented in full, with one small excision, which is duly indicated, for the first time since Hakluyt gave it to the world three centuries ago. The object of this book is to present a popular and yet reliable account of a somewhat obscure, though fundamental, phase in the history of England's expansion.
The author has many grateful acknowledgements to make for the generous and in some cases spontaneous. assistance rendered to him during the progress of his undertaking. But particular mention is due to Hakluyt's "Principal Navigations" 1599-1600, which is the foundation of this book. The author has endeavored to trace each stage of the journey with the invaluable assistance he obtained from Sir W. W. Hunter's unparalleled "Gazetteer" (H.) and from Sir Arthur Payer’s unique "History of Burma".
