William Methwold's 'Relation', reprinted from Purchas his Pilgrimes and two other 'relations', one by Antony Schorer, translated from the Dutch, the other anonymous. This is a new print-on-demand hardback edition of the volume first published in 1931. Owing to technical constraints it has not been possible to reproduce the map of "The Bay of Bengal, and the Kingdoms surrounding it" which formed the frontispiece of the first edition of the work.
