Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Voyages for the Discovery of a North-West Passage From the Atlantic to the Pacific, Vol. 1 of 2: And Narrative of an Attempt to Reach the North Pole The two volumes herewith presented to the public contain an uninterrupted narrative, in Captain Parry´s own words, of the five voyages made by that distinguished navigator, under the sanction of the British government, in search of a passage from the eastern to the western side of the American Continent, through the Arctic Ocean. Although abbreviated, the curtailment has been effected, not by any change in the language of the original writer, but merely by omitting all such details as were not inviting to the general reader; and, in a word, changing the character of the work from that of an official report to that of a narrative.
