First edition thus, no. 24 of 475 copies on japon vellum. Hawkins had served with his uncle and also with Francis Drake before he embarked on his own expedition in 1593 aboard the Dainty. The ship sailed to South America where Hawkins raided Valparaiso before being attacked and imprisoned by the Spaniards; he was ransomed and released in 1603. The Observations, written following his return and first published in 1622, offers an account of the expedition and is also one of the best descriptions of Elizabethan life at sea; the first edition is very rare on the market. This was the thirteenth Argonaut Press publication. Cox II, p. 257; Hill I, p.140; NMM I, 286.
