Описание: The naval officer Frederick William Beechey (1796-1856) served under John Franklin during the 1818 British expedition to the Arctic. The two ships, Dorothea and Trent, were caught in ice and failed to find a route beyond Spitsbergen. This work, published in 1843, remains the principal account of the expedition.

Описание: Reissued in its 1818 second edition, these papers by two fellows of the Royal Society, Daines Barrington (1727/8-1800) and Mark Beaufoy (1764-1827), discuss Arctic exploration and evidence for the theorised open polar sea. Relying on the testimony of others, Barrington`s contributions, though flawed, retain historical considerable interest.
