The publications of the Hakluyt Society made available edited 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 The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, & covering voyages to the New World, to China & Japan, to Russia & to Africa & India. This 1868 volume is the first publication in English of a book originally published in Mexico in 1609, which describes the Spanish 'discovery, conquest & conversion' of the Philippines in the 16th century, & the administration of this part of the Spanish empire. The introductory essay situates the book in the context of the historiography of the Spanish empire, & identifies parallels for the colonial experience, & especially for the treatment of indigenous peoples, in the issues confronting the mid-19th century British empire.
