Sabin Wagner- Camp 58b:1. Streeter Back, who had been on both Franklin expeditions, was sent out to locate Ross, who had been unreported through three winters. News of Ross's safe re-turn reached Back in April 1833 and he then pursued the expedition's secondary objectives. These were, firstly, to navigate the length of a river supposedly arising in the neighbourhood of the Great Slave Lake and running north to the Arctic Sea, and then, secondly, to map as much as possible of the seacoast. He was successful in both objectives, travelling 7,500 miles in total and travers-ing the full 440-mile length of the river (known as Thlueetessy' by the Indians). The Great Fish River, as Back named it, has since become known as The Back River.

This paper ex-presses his view that the Kuro Sio (Japan Current) sends an offshoot north and eastward, similar to the offshoot from the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic. He cites information given him by whalers of the seas north and east of Bering Strait. (AB). - During this period of intense interest in Arctic exploration Bent's theories attracted a good deal of attention. The two maps depict the world and the Arctic region.

Ellis served as hydrographer, surveyor & mineralogist on the expedition under Capt. William Moor sent to discover the Northwest passage in The expedition proved decisively that no such passage from Hudson's Bay existed & contributed to a lapse of British interest in the subject until Ellis' work provided interesting & valuable information about the customs of the then relatively unknown Esquimaux, observations on the tides, and the `vagaries of the compass'. Plates depict natural history subjects, Eskimo costume & customs, and views. "Ellis went as proprietors' agent and scientific specialist with a two ship expedition commissioned to find the Northwest Passage, a hundred years after James' conclusion that such a search was pointless. Ellis's descriptions aroused James Isham to a hostile response, not published until much later (1949)". Waterston p9.

His journal is a valuable supplement to Parry's official account containing much useful information on natural history and on ice conditions.

Together they added 1200 miles of coastline to the map of the Canadian Arctic. "When Franklin volunteered to make a second voyage, linked with Parry's commission, he was already established, not only as an explorer, but also as author of one of the most widely read books of his period. His second fray, frustrated eventually by weather conditions, accomplished the survey of some 1,500 miles of Arctic coastline. He reports again with the admirable blend of detail, generalization, dignity, piety and respect for the native people,..." Waterston p46.

Each member of the Arctic Council was distinguished in his own right, having published an account of the expedition which he led or accompanied as a scientist. Shown on the print, along with their facsimile autographs, are: Sir George Back, Sir Edmund Parry, Sir John Richardson, Sir James Ross, Sir Francis Beaufort, Colonel Sabine, Captain Hamilton, Captain Bird, Captain Beechy and Mr. Barrow; in addition, are the portraits of Sir John Franklin, James Fitzjames and John Barrow.

34 Kotzebue's important second Russian circumnavigation to explore for a northwest passage is a cornerstone work of Pacific exploration with important descriptions of Hawaii, California and Alaska. He had earlier sailed with Captain Kruzenshtem in the first Russian circumnavigation, Leaving Kronstadt in 1815, the Rurik rounded Cape Hom and visited Chile, Easter Island, and the Marshall Islands. He explored Hawaii, and the North American coast including Alaska where he discovered the sound that now bears his name. Failing to find a northwest passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic Oceans, he was forced to turn south where he visited the Marshall Islands, the Marianas, and several other groups of Islands on his return to Europe. His description of the northwest coast of America is a important contribution. The second volume contains a description of California and the earliest scientific account of the Golden Poppy, California's state flower. In California Kotzebue also picked up Vassilii Petrovich Tarakanov (q.v.), a Russian hunter who had been captured by the Californians. Kotzebue's account of his ship's visit to San Francisco Bay in October of 1816 is accompanied by six plates. The third volume contains the important scientific report of naturalist Adelbert von Chamisso's Bemerkungen und Ansichten, on the voyage's results. It is noteable for his descriptions and remarks on the climate, flora, fauna, and peoples of California and the northwest coast of America. "The work is of great importance in the early exploration of Alaska. "Rich in early original source material on Alaska. Kotzebue belonged to that group of outstanding Russian naval officers of the first half of the nineteenth century, which included Kruzenshtern, Golovnin, Lisianskii, Sarychev, and others." (Lada-Mocarski). "It was on this voyage that Kotzebue discovered Kotzebue Sound in Alaska, thinking for a time as he sailed east that he had found the long sought north-east passage" (Streeter).

McCormick was with James Clark Ross' Antarctic expedition in Erebus' and Terror', and here gives the only first handpublished narrative of that expedition other than that of Ross. He had earlier been with Parry's fourth expedition toward the north pole, 1827, and was later with Belcher's Franklin search expedition, and gives a lengthy account of both. Only 750 sets were produced and apparently many were lost.

38 The large lithographed panoramas of the great ice barrier in the Ross Sea and the coastline of Victoria Land [McCormick] convey the sense of awed wonder experienced by all aboard Ross' ships when the true enormity of the Antarctic continent revealed itself for the first time" Comments first edition. McCormick served as the surgeon during Ross' Antarctic expedition and, although written many years later, his narrative of that remarkable expedition is an important source as it draws from his own diaries penned at the time. The work also covers his other polar expeditions: the first as the surgeon on Parry's 1827 attempt to reach the North Pole and the other on a Franklin search expedition under his own command. As publication was arranged and paid for by McCormick himself, only 750 sets were produced according to Rosove. He also identifies 7 variant issues, the present set being variant f. M'Cormick was 84 when these memories were published. It was received well by the press, but he has difficulty selling the volumes. Five years after publication he still possessed 375 of the 750 produced. Variants in these attractive cloth bindings indicate that binding work was done in batches. Had a remainders been issued there would have been a number of fine copies on the market over the years, when in fact the reverse has been the case and one can safely assume the unbound sheets were destroyed. Sets in leather bindings would have been from the publishers. Truly fine set would be extremely rare.

Some Indian vocabularies are included. (Sabin). Mackenzie's journals recount his two expeditions undertaken on behalf of the North West Company in their attempt to break the Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly of the fur trade. The first expedition, in 1879, from Fort Chipewyan on Lake Athabaska down what is now known as the Mackenzie River to the Arctic constitutes the first trip to the Arctic from the Canadian Prairies. The second, in , from Fort Chipewyan over the Rocky Mountains by the Peace and Fraser Rivers to the Pacific, is distinguished as the first overland expedition to reach the Pacific, north of Mexico. The maps are the earliest of certain parts of Canada. Also included is a lengthy account of the development of the fur trade in the North West, generally attributed to the author's cousin, Roderick Mackenzie

Meares commanded the Felice Adventurer and Iphigenia, Captain Douglas, on a trading voyage for the Associated Merchants. The seizure of his ships by the Spanish at Nootka led to an international crisis, eventually resolved by the Nootka Convention of His exaggerated claims concerning his exploits and hardships were strongly attacked by George Dixon. The account of voyages was edited by William Combe from Mearer's papers, ref. D.N.B. The appendices contain the official instructions for the voyage, and various documents concerning the seizure, including Meares's Memorial to the House of Commons which was also published separately.

45 A.B Cook p239. The expedition was an attempt to reach the North Pole by way of Smith Sound and Robeson Channel and to explore the northern parts of Ellesmere Island as well as Northwest Greenland. An outbreak of scurvy prevented the sledging parties from completing their work. The two ships wintered, one at Lady Franklin Bay, the other at Lincoln Bay. Albert Markham reached the then farthest North at 82o 2o', under extreme hardship. This was the first major British Arctic expedition since the Franklin search expeditions in the early 1850's. It also marked the end of the large, rigid British naval polar expeditions.
