Erste Ausgabe. - "Parry left England May 3, 1821, sailed through Hudson and Frozen Straits, explored Repulse Bay and thence east and north to Lyon Inlet. After wintering at Winter Island he sailed northward, discovered Fury and Hecla Strait, and spent the second winter at Igloolik. The deteriorating health of his crew forced him to return to England Oct. 10, 1823." (Arctic Bibl., 13142). - "Mehr noch als die erste Reise hatte diese zweite die Kenntnis von der Natur und den Menschen der kanadischen Arktis gefördert." (Henze IV, 18 ff.) - "Throughout the whole of this work, the characteristics of the Esquimaux, and incidents of intercourse with them, absorbs the attention of the writer. The work is a treatise on aboriginal life, rather than a narrative of scientific discoveries."
