These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Strange Adventures of Andrew Battell - of Leigh, in Angola and the Adjoining Regions: Look inside the book: Pigafetta’s famous Relatione del Reame di Congo, “drawn out of the writings and discourses of Duarte Lopez,” and first published at Rome in 1591, nor the almost equally famous Itinerarium of Jan Huyghen van Linschoten, of which an English translation appeared as early as 1598, can be classed among books of travel.2 Samuel Braun, of Basel, who served as barber-surgeon on board Dutch vessels which traded at Luangu and on the Kongo, 1611-13, never left the coast.3 Nor did Pieter van der Broeck, who made three voyages to the Kongo between 1607 and 1612 as supercargo of Dutch vessels, penetrate inland.4 Nay, we are Pg xi even able to claim on behalf of Battell that he travelled by routes not since trodden by European explorers. ...Then we lay east and by south toward the main, and in four and twenty hours we had sight of the Cape de Lopo Gonsalves:17 and being within three leagues of the said cape we cast about and stood again toward the island of San Tome, and turned up on the west side of the island; and coming to a little river, which runneth out of the mountains, we went on shore with our Light-horse-man, with six or seven butts to fill with water.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Strange Adventures of Andrew Battell of Leigh, in Angola and the Adjoining Regions: Reprinted From "Purchas His Pilgrims;" Of Andrew Battell's history we know nothing, except what may be gathered from his Adventures, and an Occasional reference to him by his friend, neighbour, and editor, the Rev. Samuel Purchas. He seems to have been a native Of Leigh, in Essex, at the present day a mere fishing village by the Side of its populous upstart neighbour Southend, but formerly a place of considerable importance. As early as the fifteenth century it could boast of its guild Of pilots, working In harmony with a similar guild at Dept ford Strond, the men Of Leigh taking charge Of inward bound ships, whilst Deptford provided pilots to the out ward bound. Henry VIII incorporated both guilds as the Fraternity Of the Most Glorious and Indivisible Trinity and Of St. Clement and in the venerable church Of St. Clement, at Leigh, and the surrounding churchyard may still be seen monuments erected in honour of con temporaries Of Battell who were Brethren of the Trinity House; among whom are Robert Salmon (born 1567, died 1661) and Robert Chester (died But there is no tombstone in memory of Andrew Battell; and if a memorial tablet was ever dedicated to him, it must have been removed when the church was renovated in 1837. Nor do the registers Of the church afl'ord a clue to Battell's death, for the earliest Of these documents only dates back to the year 1684. At the present time no person Of the name Of Battell lives at Leigh. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
