AN proposes, God disposes." After all the eager desires and strenuous efforts to attain a situation where he might become independent of other resources than his own, after he had happily attained it, and had addressed himself so energetically to its duties, --duties which very few youths of his age would have attempted, --an aspect wholly unexpected was given to his future prospects by the following letter from Professor Edward Forbes. " 6, Craig's Court, Charing Cross, London, " 29th April 1845. " Dear Edmondston.--Before stating what I write about, I must request an immediate answer by return of post to this. " An expedition is going out to the Pacific and California. It sails in a fortnight. This morning I have been sent for to the admiralty to say whether I could recommend a naturalist at a moment's notice, as Prince Albert had desired that a naturalist should be appointed to accompany the expedition. The salary will be between 250 and 300 a year, finding mess out of it. This I consider good pay. Now it seems to me that this would be an admirable opportunity for you, both to pursue your scientific aims, and to lay the basis of a distinguished reputation. It is very short notice, but I went to the Oregon on a shorter, having got all ready in a week. It may lead to much better things than your Andersonian appointment could possibly do. " Now, if you write at once, saying that you would like to go (there is no time to consult friends at a distance), I will do everything in my power to get you appointed, and can almost promise you the appointment. Should it be so, you will have to come to London at once to prepare. " There will be no time to get any replies to any letter of yours to Shetland, but I feel sure...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Shetlander: Or Shadow Over the Sunshine; Being Life and Letters of Thomas Edmondston, Naturalist on Board H. M. S. "Herald" The following record has been often asked for, by the many friends of a talented and greatly beloved young man. It is at length offered in the hope that it may prove instructive as well as interesting. The locality where he was born and brought up is peculiar and little known, even in these days of incessant travelling. Thirty years ago it was in a much more primitive and isolated condition. Steam communication, penny postage, and cheap literature, were then in the first stages of existence, for which reason some of the episodes and descriptions that mingle with the biographical narrative are recorded, as displaying a phase of society now almost obsolete in Britain, and also as illustrative of their bearing on the formation of a powerful and attractive character.

Book excerpt: This book describes the 1873 voyage of the British explorer Benjamin Leigh Smith, based on the diaries and photographs of Lieutenant Herbert C. Chermside, who joined the expedition of the seas around Svalbard. Chermside’s photographs, long believed lost, have recently been uncovered in Sweden and are being curated there by the Grenna Museum. The three unpublished diaries of Herbert Chermside were lent to the Scott Polar Research Institute in 1939 by Mrs. Benjamin Leigh Smith. For the first time, Chermside’s diaries are published in their entirety, with the original photographs shown alongside modern images of the same locations. This includes the first photographic record of the north coast of Svalbard, images that are today being used as comparative data for the study of climate change in the archipelago. The diaries have been fully transcribed and edited. Introductory chapters are included, written by specialists in the history of exploration, history of science, and the history of photography from Penn State University, the University of Gothenburg, and UiT, the Arctic University of Norway, as well as contributors from the UK and Germany. This volume is published in association with Grenna Museum, which will present Chermside’s photographs in a 2022 exhibit on Leigh Smith and A.E. Nordenskiold.
