M'Clintock, , Captain [Sir Francis Leopold]

A Narrative of the Discovery of the Fate of Sir John Franklin and His Companions

Boston, MA, Ticknor & Fields, 1860. Hardcover. pp. xxiv, 375. 8vo. Bound in brown cloth, binding quite broken. Three folding maps. Complete, internally unmarked. The author's edition. The diaries of the Captain of the 'Fox', who was commissioned by Lady Franklin to search for evidence of the fate of her unfortunate husband. She offered M'Clintock command of the expedition after government-funded searches turned up only rumours and a few relics of the ships 'Erebus' and 'Terror'. The expedition of the 'Fox' was funded entirely by Lady Franklin and her friends, and it is for this reason that M'Clintock dedicated the publication of his diaries of the expedition to Lady Franklin. Ill.: maps, black-&-white plates.

Through the First Antarctic Night, 1898-1899: A Narrative of the Voyage of the 'Belgica' Among Newly Discovered Lands and over an Unknown Sea About the South Pole; with an Appendix Containing a Summary of the Scientific

London, William Heinemann, 1900. 1st edition. Hardcover. pp. xxiv, 478. Royal 8vo. Bound in original grey-green cloth with gilt spine lettering. The white lettering and 'ship in the ice' design to the front board are bright. All colour plates, maps, photos present. Bookplate of C. W. Blackburn affixed to inside front board. The cloth shows some soiling and rubbing to the extremities. The binding is shaken. The rear hinge is just starting but holding nicely. Some spotting and soiling to interior pages, mainly to the first 75, or so, where it occurs. In all, still a good copy of a scarce edition, and a cracking good read. Renard 359 notes that 'apart from the imprint the book is identical to the first (U.S.) edition and the sheets were printed in America. This issue (i.e. the Heinemann imprint) appears to be considerably scarcer than the U.S. imprint'. This copy compares to Rosove 76.A3.variant b. .
