Voyages of Discovery in the Arctic and Antarctic Seas, and round the World : Being Personal Narratives of Attempts to Reach the North and South Poles

Omtale

Originally published in 1884 and illustrated with his maps and drawings, this two-volume work by the doctor and naturalist Robert McCormick (1800–90) describes polar voyages with William Parry and James Clark Ross. McCormick also discusses his part in the search for Sir John Franklin, and presents a very detailed autobiography.
