THE HAKLUYT SOCIETY, which is established for the purposeof printing rare or unpublished Voyages and Travels, aims at openingby this means an easier access to the sources of a branch of knowledge,which yields to none in importance, and is superior to most inagreeable variety. The narratives of travellers and navigators make us[2]acquainted with the earth, its inhabitants and productions; they exhibitthe growth of intercourse among mankind, with its effects on civilization,and, while instructing, they at the same time awaken attention, byrecounting the toils and adventures of those who first explored unknownand distant regions.
The advantage of an Association of this kind, consists not merely in itssystem of literary co-operation, but also in its economy. The acquirements,taste, and discrimination of a number of individuals, who feel aninterest in the same pursuit, are thus brought to act in voluntary combination,and the ordinary charges of publication are also avoided, so thatthe volumes produced, are distributed among the Members (who can aloneobtain them) at little more than the cost of printing and paper. TheSociety expends nearly the whole of its funds in printing works for theMembers; and since the cost of each copy varies inversely as the wholenumber of copies printed, it is obvious that the Members are gainersindividually by the prosperity of the Society, and the consequent vigourof its operations.
