Description
Chancellor's Voyage to Muscovy: Being Clement Adam's Anglorum Navigatio Ad Muscovitas is a book written by John Watson McCrindle in 1886. The book is a detailed account of the voyage of Richard Chancellor, an English explorer who was sent by King Edward VI to establish trade relations with the Russian Empire in the 16th century. The book is based on the journal of Clement Adam, who was a member of Chancellor's crew and recorded the events of the voyage. The book provides a fascinating insight into the challenges faced by the English explorers as they navigated the treacherous waters of the Arctic Ocean and made their way to the court of Ivan the Terrible, the Tsar of Russia. It describes the encounters with the local people, the customs and traditions of the Russian court, and the negotiations that took place between the English and Russian officials. The book also provides a detailed account of the geography, flora, and fauna of the region, as well as the weather conditions and the navigational techniques used by the explorers. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the early contacts between England and Russia, and the beginnings of the trade relations that would eventually lead to the establishment of the British Empire. Overall, Chancellor's Voyage to Muscovy is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of exploration, trade, and diplomacy in the early modern period. It is a well-written and engaging account that brings to life the adventures and challenges faced by the English explorers as they ventured into the unknown territories of the Russian Empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
