Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Books are still among the most important cultural achievements of humanity. Their invention was as important as the Internet: for the first time, a mass transfer of information became possible. Education, science, research, but also entertainment was based on a new revolutionary basis. Books are changing society until today. The technical possibilities of mass printing led to a radical increase in titles in the 18th and 19th centuries. Nevertheless, the conditions were still very different than today: Who wrote a book at that time, often wrote a life's work. This is reflected in the high quality of old books. Unfortunately, books age. Paper is not made for eternity. Therefore, we have made it our mission to preserve the book of knowledge of humanity and to make old books available in high quality at low prices.

engraved frontispieces to each volume and plates throughout, uniformly a little toned, but a very good copy, untrimmed, 5 vols, pp. xvi, 310, 2; viii, 320; vii, [1], 328; viii, 322, [2]; vii, [1], 300, first and fourth vols with final ad leaves in contemporary red cloth, paper spine labels, spines and extremities sunned, A very attractive set of Sir William Parry's account of his three voyages to the Northwest Passage, which were undertaken between 1819 and 1825. Parry's first voyage coincided with an unusually ice-free winter, which enabled him to traverse channels previously believed to be landlocked. Although the later expeditions - in more seasonally traditional weather - did not see him replicate his success, 'the immediate achievements of these voyages were the charting of hundreds of miles of coastline in the Canadian Arctic archipelago and the collecting of valuable data on Arctic natural history' (Hill). Indeed, these volumes are full of such detail; Parry records treacherous conditions, outlines meteorological phenomena such as the Aurora Borealis - and records bird and plant specimens previously unknown in Europe. His interactions with Eskimaux, in particular, are extensively documented. The fine frontispiece plates, engraved by Edward Finden, show the Hecla and Griper in various remote and unforgiving landscapes, Eskimaux children dancing, and a portrait of Parry in uniform.

Erstausgabe
London, John Murray, 1828 and 1829. Six volumes, 12mo in 8s (151 x 97mm; volume VI a little bit smaller, as issued). Original publisher's cloth with printed paper labels to spines; 13 steel-engraved plates and engraved folding map; cloth a little marked and discoloured in places, corners slightly bumped, one label chipped with loss of author's name; only occasional spotting and offsetting, a very good set, partly unopened, in the rarely seen original binding. First collected edition of Parry's three voyages in search of a North-West Passage, rarely found with the sixth volume, not intended initially but published a year later and uniformly. In 1819 the young lieutenant W.E. Parry (1790-1855) was appointed to lead an expedition composed of the bomb-vessel HMS Hecla and brig HMS Griper to search for the North-West Passage: 'His instructions, which were necessarily conditional and vague, were to go up the west side of Baffin Bay, through Lancaster Sound (which [Captain John] Ross had reported land-locked), and so, if possible, to Bering Strait. After a clear run westward through Lancaster Sound he reached Melville Island (one of the later named Parry Islands) and wintered there, hoping to resume the voyage in the following season. This aim was frustrated by pack ice' (ODNB). However, the two ships returned safely, arriving in the Thames in November 1820, with a great deal of important scientific material, although Parry's dispatches had reached the Admiralty before him, since they had been sent ahead with a whaler returning to Britain. On 4 November 1820, when his dispatches reached London, Parry 'was promoted to the rank of commander. He received the freedom of his native city [Bath] and many other honours; in the following February he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society and, with the officers and men of the expedition, he received the parliamentary grant previously offered as a reward for those who should first pass the meridian of 110° W within the Arctic circle. Parry's care for his men, his solution of many of the problems of wintering in the ice, and his meticulous scientific work set a pattern of Arctic exploration for a generation. Many of his young officers (notably James Clark Ross) went on to be famous explorers themselves (loc. cit.). The success of this first expedition led to a second with HMS Fury and HMS Hecla, which departed Britain in May 1821 and travelled through the Hudson Strait and Foxe Channel, surveyed Repulse Bay, spent a winter at Winter Island and a second winter at Igloolik, and traversed Fury and Hecla Strait to its western end, before returning to England in 1823. In 1824, Parry left Deptford once more with HMS Fury and HMS Hecla, on his third expedition: 'again attempting the passage by Lancaster Sound, he wintered at Port Bowen. On 1 August 1825 both ships were forced ashore in Prince Regent inlet, and, though they were refloated, it was found necessary to abandon the Fury. All the men were put on board the Hecla, but there was no room for the stores, and Parry accordingly returned to England forthwith' (loc. cit.). The narratives of these three major Arctic expeditions were all published separately by John Murray with the authority of the Admiralty in quarto format as Journal of a Voyage for the Discovery of a North-West Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific; Performed in the Years 1819-20, in His Majesty's Ships Hecla and Griper [--A Supplement .] (1821-1824); Journal of a Second Voyage for the Discovery of a North-West Passage . Performed in the Years 1821-22-23, in His Majesty's Ships Fury and Hecla [--Appendix .] (1824-1825); and Journal of a Third Voyage for the Discovery of a North-West Passage . Performed in the Years 1824-25, in His Majesty's Ships Hecla and Fury (1826). The present compact edition collected the narratives of the three voyages for the first time, and the text was abridged in order to exclude the specialised scientific findings of the expeditions 'which are uninviting to the general reader', but equally sought 'to record every fact and transaction of importance, without omitting the name even of any single Cape, Bay, Strait, or the notice of any accession, however slight, to our general and geographical knowledge' (I, pp. ii-iii). A sixth, supplementary volume, Narrative of an Attempt to Reach the North Pole, which narrated his 1827 expedition to the North Pole -- during which Parry achieved a farthest north of 82°43' -- was issued by Murray in a uniform format in 1829. This journey, here uniformly published together with the three previous Arctic journeys set a new record. 'In April 1826 Parry had proposed to the first lord an attempt to reach the pole from Spitsbergen by travelling with sledge-boats over the ice or through any spaces of open water. The proposal was referred to the Royal Society, on whose approval he was appointed again to the Hecla and sailed from the Nore on 4 April 1827. The ship was secured in Treurenberg Bay and on 21 June the boats started under Parry's command. After an exhausting struggle across wet and broken ice floes they turned back when Parry realized from his observations that the ice was drifting south almost as fast as they could travel north. His furthest north (lat. 82°43Ê 32â N) stood as a record for nearly fifty years' (ODNB). Sabin 58869. Provenance: Contemporary ownership inscription C. H. Cruttwell in ink to front fly-leaves of the first five volumes.

Kelley & 1 Ex-Libris - James Douglas), expertly (nearly invisible) rebacked, a fine set attractively bound. (cgc). Arctic Bib. 10582. Spence 747. Taurus 10; Rosove 221.A1, first edition, pp262-264. (See below). - Of considerable Antarctic interest as well as Arctic. McCormick was with James Clark Ross' 1839-43 Antarctic expedition in Erebus' and Terror', and here gives the only first hand-published narrative of that expedition other than that of Ross. He had earlier been with Parry's fourth expedition toward the north pole, 1827, and was later with Belcher's 1852-54 Franklin search expedition, and gives a lengthy account of both. Only 750 sets were produced and apparently many were lost. The large lithographed panoramas of the great ice barrier in the Ross Sea and the coastline of Victoria Land [McCormick] convey the sense of awed wonder experienced by all aboard Ross' ships when the true enormity of the Antarctic continent revealed itself for the first time" Comments first edition. McCormick served as the surgeon during Ross' 1839-43 Antarctic expedition and, although written many years later, his narrative of that remarkable expedition is an important source as it draws from his own diaries penned at the time. The work also covers his other polar expeditions: the first as the surgeon on Parry's 1827 attempt to reach the North Pole and the other on a 1852-53 Franklin search expedition under his own command. As publication was arranged and paid for by McCormick himself, only 750 sets were produced according to Rosove. He also identifies 7 variant issues, the present set being variant E. M'Cormick was 84 when these memories were published and after five years less than 375 copies had sold. Variants in these attractive cloth bindings indicate that binding work was done in batches. Had a remainders been issued there would have been a number of fine copies on the market over the years, when in fact the reverse has been the case and one can safely assume the unbound sheets were destroyed. Sets in leather bindings would have been from the publishers. Truly fine set would be extremely rare. We have only four records of this title (cat57-274), however, one was sold to Bert Plimer and years later appeared in the Plimer Catalogue 218. Our first copy came from the fabulous May Fluman collection we bought in c.1979. Also one them, in the very attractive pictorial blue cloth had call numbers on the spines. So really two sets previously.
