Text generally clean, binding solid. Lacking errata slip. Ownership inscription of "E.B. Portman" along top margin of title page. (Arctic Bibliography 14873) (Sabin 73376) (Hill 1488). John Ross (1777-1856) a British naval officer and explorer. He led the First British Arctic Expedition in 1818 aboard HMS Isabella with HMS Alexander in consort, tasked by the British Admiralty with surveying Baffin Bay and assessing the viability of a Northwest Passage. Sailing via Davis Strait, Ross charted coastal features, made contact with Inuit communities near Cape York, and gathered valuable hydrographic and ethnographic data, but controversially reported a chain of supposed high mountainsthe "Croker Mountains"barring the entrance to Lancaster Sound, prompting him to turn back. Although the voyage confirmed much of the early Baffin Bay geography, Ross's decision to withdraw and the disputed mountain sighting drew criticism at home and later spurred further expeditions, most notably William Edward Parry's successful transit into Lancaster Sound in 1819, which effectively disproved Ross's claimed barrier. Full title: A Voyage Of Discovery, Made Under The Orders Of The Admiralty, In His Majesty's Ships Isabella And Alexander, For The Purpose Of Exploring Baffin's Bay, And Inquiring Into The Probability Of A North-West Passage. The first edition of A Voyage of Discovery, Exploring Baffin's Bay by Capt. John Ross, published in London in 1819. (illustrateur).

Ajouter au panierFirst edition. Author's presentation copy. Quarto. Publisher's original moire blue cloth with titles in gilt to the spine. Page edges untrimmed. Illustrated with a portrait frontispiece, large folding map (coloured in outline) and 30 plates (eight of which are hand-coloured) and charts. viii, xxxiv, 740pp. Contained within a cus…tom made matching blue cloth slipcase. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with two small dents to the upper board. Recased, with the original spine neatly relaid; the corners strengthened and repaired. The contents, with some occasional light scattered foxing, are otherwise in very good order, clean throughout and remain free from any previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Inscribed in black ink to the head of the title page "To Ralph Abercrombie Esquire with the author's compliments". "As a result of the failure of his voyage in 1818, the Admiralty refused to support John Ross in a second expedition. It was not until 1829 that the assistance of Felix Booth, the sheriff of London, enabled him to set out in the small paddle-steamer 'Victory' with his nephew James Clark Ross as second-in-command. The expedition survived four winters in the Arctic, during which James Clark Ross discovered the North Magnetic Pole" (Hill, p.261). The plates include many of Eskimo costume and life, as well as the justly praised colour mezzotints showing the polar night sky. A most uncommon author's presentation copy of this key work from the Golden age of Arctic Exploration. (Abbey Travel, 636; Hill, 1490; Sabin, 73381).
