The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This work contains the memoirs and observations of Francois Leguat (1637-1735), the leader of a group of French Huguenots forced to colonise the Indian Ocean island of Rodriguez in 1693.
