Originally published in 1628, this printing was the second of four parts of "Sir Francis Drake Revived," each part with its own title-page, the first two parts separately paginated and collated, the third and fouth parts continuous. The World Encompassed describes Drake's famed round the world voyage of 1577-80. HIll notes that "The voyage...had two purposes - to discover trading bases in the legendary 'Terra Australis' and the Moluccas, and to raid the west coast of Spanish South America. Sailing up the coasts of Chile, Peru, and Mexico, Drake sacked towns and plundered shipping. He reached California, which he named New Albion and claimed for England in the name of Queen Elizabeth. Returning to England via the Pacific and Indian Oceans, Drake became the first Englishman to circumnavigate the world." Lacking leaf A1, a blank.
