Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This short work, featuring a number of attractive engravings, traces an abortive expedition to the Canadian Arctic. George Francis Lyon (1795-1832), naval officer and explorer, had accompanied William Parry on a previous expedition in search of the North-West Passage. In 1824 Lyon was instructed to return to Repulse Bay and to explore the mainland.

Chronicling the 1821-3 expedition with Parry, The Private Journal of Captain G. F. Lyon (1824) is also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection, along with his Journal of a Residence and Tour in the Republic of Mexico (1828).

Ajouter au panierFirst edition detailing Lyon's attempt to reach the North West Passage through Hudson Bay on the HMS Griper. The voyage proved unsuccessful in finding the passage due to poor weather conditions. The work also describes the Inuit of the Southampton Islands and the author's scientific findings. George Francis Lyon (1795-1832) had made a name for himself accompanying Joseph Ritchie's scientific expedition in Africa. Lyon organized a publication of their findings on his return to London in 1820. He then accompanied Parry's attempt on the northwest passage on the Hecla in 1823, publishing The private journal of Captain G. F. Lyon the following year. Lyon was then promoted captain and appointed the Griper. "Lyon's instructions were to reach Repulse Bay by whatever route he judged best, and from it to examine the coast of the mainland westward to the point where John Franklin's voyage had ended its survey. He sailed on 6 June, but the season proved unfavourable, and he returned to England in November." The route that he chose, "for reasons that never became clear" (Howgego), took them south of Southampton Island, approaching Repulse Bay through Roes Welcome Sound, and required "navigating a labyrinth of treacherous shoals". Foul weather and high winds forced Lyon to return, incurring the wrath of Sir John Barrow at the Admiralty, as a result of which he was never offered another commission. Provenance: a) George Treweeke Scobell (1785-1869), the midshipman aboard HMS St Albans, with his engraved bookplate on the front pastedown. b) L. Harrison Matthews (1901-1986) with his ink signature on the front free endpaper. Matthews was a British zoologist of marine mammals. Arctic Bibliography 10530; Hill 1055; Howgego II L52; Sabin 42851. Octavo (207 x 130 mm). Folding chart frontispiece, 7 engraved plates, diagrams, charts, and illustrations to the text. Contemporary dark blue half calf by W. Pearce of Bristol, spine with four gilt decorated low raised bands, decorative gilt panels to compartments, dark red label, leather sides and corners edged with a blind scrolling roll, Spanish on Italian marbled sides and edges. Judiciously recoloured in places, a few patches of skinning, spine ends and corners with small chips, a little foxing and offsetting, chart with old tissue paper repair to verso, "View of Terra Nivea" with old offset mark, plate of heads slightly shaved at head, p. 128 numbered as p. 182, small ink marks to pp. 198 and final leaf. A very good copy.
