About This Item
See ARCTIC BIB., 18995; HILL, Vol. I, p. 313 ("these explorations seemed to confirm the existence of an open and navigable sea deep in the Arctic"); HOWES, E161. SOLIDAY 10618, using "Vrangel," cites the first English edition, 1840, followed by a Harper edition of 1873. WICKERSHAM 6299 cites the first Harper edition (the first US edition) as 1855. This 1842 edition seems to have eluded bibliographers. A well-bound copy, quite fresh. Photo featuring business card provided for scale.
