    Follows on from Second Series 83, with continuous main pagination. Includes documents relating to the Munster plantation scheme, 1569, and the Knollys piracy, 1579. This is a new print-on-demand hardback edition of the volume first published in 1940. Owing to technical constraints it has not been possible to reproduce the "Map of Narragansett Bay and surroundings, showing landassigned to the Peekhams in 1583" and "Sir Humfiay Gylbert Knight his charts" which appeared in the first edition of the work.

    Contents: Sir Humphrey Gilbert's Final Project, 1580-84; Sir George Peckham's True Reporte ...; John Dee, Adrian Gilbert and the North-West Passage; Appendices; Index.
