Ajouter au panierx,(2),663 pp. Octavo. Original diced grey cloth with blind decoration on the boards. Gilt title on spine. Spine very lightly faded as usual. Corners bumped and have been professionally renewed. Coated yellow endpapers. Untrimmed. 16 plates and large folding map at the end. Plates have a small amount of foxing otherwise the book…is very clean. Very scarce in this condition. Contemporary signature on top of title page. Arctic Biblio. 851; Streeter 3705. Back, who had been with Franklin on both of his overland expeditions, was here sent out to locate John Ross, unreported after three winters in the Arctic. He traveled overland to Great Slave Lake, where he received news of Ross' return to England; Back however continued on, descending the Fish (now Back) River then unexplored, to the Arctic Ocean. This copy belonged to Henry Wemyss Feilden the naturalist that accompanied the Nares Expedition 1874/75 on the Alert. In 1895 and 1897, accompanying Henry J. Pearson, Feilden participated in expeditions to Novaya Zemlya, Kolguyev, Spitsbergen, Lapland and the Kara Sea. The book is nicely signed the top of the title page in his usual purple ink. This very attractive copy of the Back has the noble provenance to have been owned by a fellow early arctic explorer.

Very slight restoration to the top and bottom of the spine. Bookplate on front pastedown. 12 litho plates (including frontispiece) Folding map (at end). Original plat…e tissues are present. 12 pages of ads at the end dated June 1838, the earliest issue. Generally a very clean crisp copy almost without foxing. A.B. 850. Account of the expedition in H.M.S. Terror, to complete the survey of the coast between Prince Regent's Inlet and Turnagain Point, under the auspices of the British Admiralty. The ship became beset in the ice and drifted along the northeast coast of Southampton Island all winter, before being freed from ice in Hudson's Strait in July of 1837 and returning, in poor condition, to an Irish port. "In the summer of 1860 Copley Amory, the 19-year-old scion of a prominent and wealthy Boston family and a student at Williams College in Massachusetts, was a member of Williams' "expedition" to Labrador and Greenland, whose expenses he also covered to a significant extent. The expedition was led by 37-year-old science professor Paul Chadbourne (later to become president of the University of Wisconsin and of Williams College), and sailed from Thomaston, Maine on June 27th on the 136-ton top-sail schooner Nautilus under the command of Captain Ranlett, returning on September 11th. Onboard with Copley Amory were eight other Williams students, five of them, like Amory, in the class of 1861, and 10 "Passengers" including two students from Bowdoin college and apparently also Copley's one year younger brother who was a student at Harvard ("Amory, A. Harv. '62"). When because of bad weather his ship was forced to spend some days anchored at Godthåb (Nuuk), the "capital" of Greenland (with a population then of less than 300, including 20-30 Danes)". (Wikipedia) A great association copy in superior condition. We also have Amory's copy of Allen Young's Two Cruises of the Pandora in this catalogue.

(incl. map). modern bds. (very occasional light foxing, some offsetting from plates). First Edition: Large-Paper Admiralty Iss…ue. Back had previously gained considerable experience as an arctic explorer through his participation in the abortive Buchan expedition and Franklin's two overland expeditions. Back was "one of the first competent artists to penetrate into the Canadian Arctic"; the many watercolours and drawings which he produced and which enhance his narratives and those of Franklin "are now considered an invaluable record of early northern history" (DCB). Although Back was highly valued by the British Admiralty, he was not a popular personality and he developed a fairly controversial reputation as a dandy, womanizer and hopeless egocentric. The privately financed, government-assisted expedition described in this narrative was undertaken in 1833, for the purpose of aiding members of the Second Ross expedition, from whom no one had heard since 1828. They were also to conduct scientific investigations and a geographical survey of an unknown section of arctic coast. They travelled overland from Montreal to Slave River and Great Slave Lake, and descended the Thleweechodozeth or Great Fish River (later renamed the Back River) to the arctic coast, thence along Chantrey Inlet to Ogle Point. The work also includes a valuable appendix on natural history and scientific subjects by Back, Richardson, Hooker, Children, Fitton and King, a discussion of Hearne's journey, 1769-72, by Richardson (chapt. 5), observations on the Netsilik Esquimaux at the mouth of the Back River, &c.

Moderat…e wear to cloth, spine sunned; foxing, repairs to map; Clean text with occasional margin spotting. The First American edition of Back's overland expedition narrative from Montreal to the central Arctic, aimed at aiding the second Ross expedition members, received acclaim from Field as a crucial resourceequivalent to Franklin's workfor comprehending the indigenous peoples of the North. During its publication, "The Quarterly Review" lauded its literary style as surpassing any prior accounts on the subject. Notably, the edition's map is a smaller segment derived from the original map featured in the first London edition released in the same year. Back covered over 7500 miles, 1200 of which were previously unknown territory. His narrative holds literary esteem and is "full of details about the Cree, Chippewa, Coppermine Indians, and other tribes, upon whom members of the exhibition were obliged to depend during a terrible winter" [Hill] Back was commissioned to complete the survey of the coast between Prince Regent's Inlet and Turnagain Point but the Terror was beset by ice for nearly a year (August 1837- July 1837), drifting in the pack off northeast Southampton Island.

Ajouter au panierA fresh, clean copy of "One of the fundamental books on Arctic exploration" Hill. George Back entered the Royal Navy in 1808, and was taken prisoner by the French in 1809, who detained him for nearly five years. Following his release he reenlisted, and served under Sir John Franklin in 1818. A true veteran of Arctic exploration,… Back accompanied Franklin on both of his first two expeditions in 1819 and 1825-27, making this 1833-1835 expedition, undertaken originally as a relief mission for John Ross, his third foray. Back and his party went from Montreal to Great Slave Lake, then overland to the Arctic Ocean. The detailed descriptions of the geography, native flora and fauna, and indigenous inhabitants of Northwest Canada, supplemented by beautiful engravings made after Back's own sketches, quickly made this narrative a roaring success, and it was printed in three languages and four editions by the end of the year. Some copies, usually referred to as "large paper copies," were printed in a quarto volume from the same setting of type as this octavo edition. "Captain Back's Narrative is crowded with details of his intercourse with the Crees, Chippewyans, Dog Rib, and Coppermine Indians, upon whom he, as well as Captain Franklin, was obliged to depend in great measure for subsistence during the terrible privations of an Arctic winter. No intelligent comprehension of.the frozen regions of North America can be obtained without reading the narratives of Captains Franklin and Back; both of whose Journals of their overland expeditions are very largely occupied with descriptions of Indian life and peculiarities" Field. "After Franklin, the most important early explorer of the Canadian Northwest was George Back" Reese. "Regarded as one of the finest travel books of the nineteenth century" Howgego.
