REPORT FOR 1859.

ON this anniversary, the Hakluyt Society has completed the twelfth year of its existence, and the Council have the satisfaction to report that there has been a small increase in the number of Subscribers since the last General Meeting, and that the funds of the Society are in a prosperous condition.

Although there has been some unavoidable delay in the issue of books to Subscribers, owing to the difficult and laborious nature of the researches which are entailed upon the Editors, yet the Council are able to report that, in addition to the work which has already been issued during the present year, three others will follow in the course of the summer, which will meet the claims of Subscribers for volumes due, up to the date of the present Report.

Since the last General Meeting, the following volume has been delivered to members:

Narrative of a Yoyage to the West Indies and Mexico in the years 1599-1603, by Samuel Champlain, translated from the original and unpublished manuscript by Alice Wilmere.

The three volumes, which will be delivered to members during the summer, are already considerably advanced in the printers hands, viz.:

EARLY INDICATIONS OF AUSTRALIA; a Collection of Documents showing the Early Discoveries of Australia to the time of Captain Cook. Edited by R. H. Major, Esq., of the British Museum, F.S.A.

EXPEDITIONS INTO THE VALLEY OF THE AMAZONS during the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries: containing the journey of Gonzalo Pizarro, from the Royal Commentaries of Garcilasso Inca de la Vega; the Voyage of Francisco de Orrelana, from the General History of Herrera; and the Voyage of Cristoval de Acua, from an exceedingly scarce narrative written by himself in 1641. Edited and Translated by Clements R. Markham, Esq.

A COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTS FORMING A MONOGRAPH OF THE VOYAGE OF HENRY HUDSON. Edited by N. E. S. A. Hamilton, Esq., with an Introduction by George Asher, Esq., LL.D.

In addition to the above works, three others have been undertaken by Editors, and are now in progress, viz.:

THE FIFTH LETTER OF HERNANDO CORTES: being that describing his Voyage to Honduras in 1525-6. To be translated and edited by E. G. Squier, Esq.

THE VOYAGE OF VASCO DE GAMA ROUND THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE IN 1497: now first translated from a cotemporaneous manuscript, accompanied by other documents forming a monograph on the life of De Gama. To be translated and edited by Richard Garnett, Esq., of the British Museum.

THE TRAVELS OF LUDOVICO VARTEMA, in Syria, Arabia, Persia, and India, during the Sixteenth Century: to be translated and edited by Count Pepoli.

These works will satisfy the just claims of Subscribers, up to the year 1860; but the Council have the additional gratification of being able to report that there is a prospect of securing the services of Editors for four other works, which have been, suggested to them for publication, viz.:

The Discovery and Conquest of the Canary Islands by Bethencourt in 1402-25; the Embassy of Ruy Gonzalez de Clavijo to the Court of Tamerlane in 1403 ; the Voyages of Mendana and Quiros in the South Seas; and the narrative of the Voyage of the Tyrant Aguirre down the River of the Amazons, in 1560, by Fray Pedro Simon.

Besides SIR HENRY RAWLINSON, K.C.B., who has accepted the appointment of H. M. Envoy to the Court of Teheran, the following five Members retire from the Council, viz.:

THE RIGHT HON. ROBERT LOWE.

BERIAH BOTFIELD, ESQ.

LORD ALFRED S. CHURCHILL.

COUNT LAVRADIO.

LIEUTENANT-GENERAL FOX.

Of this number, the three last are recommended for re-election, and the names of the following gentlemen are proposed for election, viz.:

THE RIGHT HON. H. LABOUCHERE.

JOHN BARROW, ESQ., F.R.S.

R. H. MAJOR, ESQ., F.S.A.

The Council have further to report that Mr. Clements R. Markham has undertaken the duties of Honorary Secretary, which became vacant on the resignation of Mr. R. H. Major, who, in the long period during which he has occupied that position, has contributed so largely to the prosperity of the Society.

At the Meeting of the 15th of November, 1858, the Council cordially reiterating the expression of the sentiments conveyed in the resolution of April, of their great regret at losing the services of Mr. Major, who has during a long period so ably conducted the affairs of the Society; and finding that Mr. Markham was so good as to state that he was ready to occupy the post vacated, resolved unanimously that Mr. Markham be hereby appointed the Honorary Secretary of the Society.
