See also:RICHARD See also:HAKLUYT (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

See also: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 See also: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." Entering See also:Christ See also:- CHURCH

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, MEASUREMENT OF
- 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, 2ND EARL OF DOUGLAS AND MAR(c. 1358–1388)

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, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
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.)

.
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
