One of the first attempts at a comprehensive and accurate account of "the great deeds of England's heroes on the sea during the memorable period of Tudor rule," first published in 1868 and building on the works of Campbell, Southey and Bell, and Barrow, to fill in the many gaps in their work and fill out the history of the events and leaders during the reigns of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Elizabeth. The work provides extensive accounts of the voyages of the Cabots, Frobisher, Gilbert, and Raleigh, the early voyages to China, and the days of Hawkins and Drake, concluding with the first extensively researched account of the Armada confrontation. 2006 Scholar's Bookshelf reprint edition.Bourne, H.
