vi,95 pp. Folio. (33 X 21 cm.) Bound in the original printed wrappers. Sewn as issued. Wrappers a bit chipped and soiled. Two maps both single page. A good copy of a fragile item. AB 45249 This paper has a similar title to the massive 958 page report but mainly deals with the Reports of Kane, and Anderson and Stewart of the HBC. Mostly interesting is the second part that deals with the people that are attempting to claim the 10,000 Pounds reward for discovering the fate of the Erebus and Terror. The admiralty's final decision is that John Rae would get the full reward. It is fascinating reading the original arguments to the Admiralty. This certainly is one of the rarer papers.
