lxxxii+394 pages with 4 maps, bibliography and index. Octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Second Series, Volume 16. First published by the Hakluyt Society in 1905. An account of the East India Company's fourth voyage; with an appendix containing William Revett's 1609 account of the Seychelles, and reports on other places by merchants and seamen of the same period. John Jourdain was a captain in the service of the English East India Company (EIC), and the first president of the EIC Council of India. He sailed for India in the Ascension on 25 March 1608 on the Company's Fourth Voyage of which Alexander Sharpeigh was the commander or general. After touching at the Cape of Good Hope, and visiting Aden, Mocha, and the island of Socotra, the Ascension sailed, towards the end of August 1609, for Surat, and on 3 September was lost on a shoal in the Gulf of Cambay. The crew reached Gandavee in the boats, and marched thence to Surat. A few days later most of them set out for Agra, but Jourdain remained at Surat, pushing the company's trade and conciliating the Indian officials. In January 1610-11 he joined Captain William Hawkins at Agra, and after six months' stay here he returned to Surat. In February 1611-12 he sailed for the Red Sea in the Trade's Increase. From Mocha he went to Sumatra, and on to Tecoa and Bantam, where on 28 November 1617 he was appointed to remain as chief factor, or 'president of the English,' his work being not only to regulate the business of the company, but?which was more troublesome?to adjust the quarrels of his subordinates. The appointment was made at the behest of General Thomas Best, commander of the tenth voyage, with the consent of the other factors at Bantam. The appointment gave Jourdain authority over all of the Company's factories in the East except that of Surat, where Sir Thomas Roe held sway as special envoy to the Moghul Emperor Jahangir. The Dutch, too, were insolent and aggressive, and threatened to become more dangerous enemies than the Portuguese, with whom there had always been war. Condition: Near fine.

WONDERFUL DETAIL AND INFORMATION AS ONLY PRESCOTT CAN WRITE. EACH BOOK DIVIDED INTO BOOK SECTIONS AND CHAPTERS. William Hickling Prescott (May 4, 1796 January 28, 1859) was an American historian and Hispanist, who is widely recognized by historiographers to have been the first American scientific historian. Despite suffering from serious visual impairment, which at times prevented him from reading or writing for himself, Prescott became one of the most eminent historians of 19th century America. He is also noted for his eidetic memory. ANTIQUE BOOKS DEN, WHERE INTERESTING BOOKS LIVE.

Paperback. Condición: New. Language: English. About The Book -: The book contains narrative of journey of Englishmen who travelled in the northern and western part of India in the period of Emperor Akbar and Jahangir but this does not end the list of English visitors who travelled in India during this period. The book give experience of the visitors: Ralph Fitch 1583-1591, John Mildenhall 1599-1606, William Hawkins 1608-1613, William Finch 1608-1611, Nicholas Withington 1612-1616, Thomas Coryat 1612-1617, and Edward Terry 1616-1619.It may perhaps be pointed out that at the time (1584) when the earliest of our travellers reached the court of Akbar, the Mughal Empire in India had not yet reached its sixtieth anniversary. It was in 1525 that Babur, then King of Kabul, crushed at Panipat the Afghan dynasty which had ruled at Delhi during the preceding three-quarters of a century. BaburÕs son, Humayun, was driven from his throne in 1540 by Sher Shah, the Afghan ruler of Bengal and Bihar, but recovered his kingdom in 1555, only to die in the following year, leaving to his young son Akbar a precarious dominion over a territory which is today represented by parts of the Panjab and the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh. About The Author -: Sir William Foster CIE (19 November 1863 Ð 11 May 1951) was a British historiographer and civil servant who was Registrar and Superintendent of Records in the India Office.
