Описание: Full of sharp observations and well-chosen detail, this fast-moving account of Cook`s first voyage was published anonymously in 1771, within months of the expedition`s return. The author`s intelligent interpretations of his exotic environments, and fascination with social anthropology and language, make his anonymity all the more intriguing.

Описание: This detailed eye-witness account, first published anonymously in 1819, describes Sir John Ross` abortive expedition to search for the North-West Passage. Its evidence about how the mission was abandoned at Lancaster Sound differed markedly from Ross` own report, published the same year amid controversy, and also reissued in this series.

Описание: In 1819, John Ross (1777-1856) published this account of his unsuccessful 1818 expedition in search of the North-West Passage. It tried to justify his decision to turn back at Lancaster Sound, which he mistakenly believed was impassable. Influential contemporaries disputed his claims, and the controversy nearly ruined his career.
