Original blue cloth, lettered in gilt; pp. xii, 292; 2 folding maps, one or two illustrations or diagrams to text; very slightly darkened on spine, with a small discolouration spine, but internally clean, an unopened and very good copy.

The articles collected include Robert Brown on Greenland's geology, von Wrangell on the attainment of the pole, Dr. Rink on Kane's discoveries, Irminger on the Arctic current around Greenland, and Collinson on the Behring Straits. Ethnological papers on the Eskimo include those by Clements Markham, Drs. Rink, Simpson, and others.

Description:
London, Murray, 1875. . First edition. 8vo., xii, 292pp., 2 folding maps (1 in colour), original blue cloth gilt, a fine copy. In 1873 the Admiralty began planning an expedition to find a route to the North Pole through Smith Sound, the passage between Greenland and Canada. This collection of papers was published in 1875, with the aim of being 'useful to the officers of the [British Arctic] expedition' leaving later that year. The book is divided into two sections: geographical observations by the likes of Admiral Collinson, who led the 1850 expedition in search of John Franklin, and ethnographic observations, including accounts of the Inuit and their language.
