The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. A member of a noble Roman family, Pietro della Valle began travelling in 1614 at the suggestion of a doctor, as an alternative to suicide after a failed love affair. The letters describing his travels in Turkey, Persia and India were addressed to this advisor. This 1664 English translation of della Valle's letters from India, republished by the Hakluyt Society in 1892, contains fascinating ethnographic details, particularly on religious beliefs, and is an important source for the history of the Keladi region of South India.

First published in 1927, TheCharm of Birds was an immediate bestseller, and combined an amateurornithologist’s keen eye with enthusiasm and a remarkably modern sensibilityand style. In particular Grey, much better known as the statesman who guidedBritish Foreign Policy in the early decades of the 20th century, brokewith the traditions of an earlier age which saw shooting as indivisible from alove of nature. Grey’s delight in the birds he found around both his home inNorthumberland and his Hampshire cottage shines from every page. Nearly 100years after the first publication of The Charm of Birds a whole newgeneration of readers is rediscovering Grey’s unique perspective, andappreciating again the freshness of the prose. This new edition has anintroduction by the best-selling nature writer Stephen Moss and a foreword bythe author Conor Jameson. Illustrated with engravings by Eric Fitch Daglish.
