THE SPANISH MAIN
FURTHER ENGLISH VOYAGES TO SPANISH AMERICA, by Irene A. Wright; The ane Society. Price to non-members, MEMBERS of the Hakluyt Society in New Zealand, for whom C. R. H. Taylor, of the Alexander Turnbull Library acts as honorary secretary, will welcome its latest pu-lication. This handsome and well-printed book contains the third series of documents from the Archives of the Indies at Seville, translated and edited for the Hakluyt Society by Irene A. Wright. It covers the years 1583 to 1594 and, like the two preceding volumes, gives the contemporary reports of high Spanish officials and others of happenings in the Caribbean Sea hitherto known only from English sources. Here are many fascinating sidelights on the campaign of Drake in 1585-6, and of the doings of Sir Richard Grenville and other seamen of those stirring Elizabethan days.
