This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greenland, the Adjacent Seas, and the North-West Passage to the Pacific Ocean: Illustrated in a Voyage to Davis's Strait, During the Summer of 1817 The absolute want of scientific information on the subject of northern climates induced the author of these observations to submit to a situation little attractive to choice in every consideration, namely, the place of surgeon to a whale ship, in order that, from personal experience, such information might be derived as would be acceptable to the generality of readers interested in such subjects. The matter of inquiry seemed to involve many objects highly deserving of illustration. To the inhabitants of southern lands, views sketched on the spot cannot fail of affording interest, as the drawings convey a complete idea of the actual situation of the polar world, to the 77 N. latitude. Previous accounts had mentioned the existence of a people-of singular character inhabiting those dreary regions: but it remained for the present detail to exhibit portraits from life, of human beings who cherish an abode in those inhospitable countries in preference to the comforts of milder climes.
