In 1769, Hearne was sent by the Hudson's Bay Company to find a northwest passage via Hudson Bay and to explore the country for copper mines which had been reported by local indigenous people. After two initial failures, Hearne reached the Coppermine River in December 1770 and followed it to its mouth on the Arctic coast. On his return he discovered Great Slave Lake. As a result of Hearne's explorations, any theory of a western exit was disproved, and much was learned and reported about the natural history and indigenous tribes of the region. Curiously, it is to the great French explorer, La PÃ rouse, that we owe the publication of Hearne's narrative, for it was La PÃ rouse who discovered the manuscript when he captured Fort Albany on Hudson Bay. After the British recaptured the fort, La PÃ rouse insisted on the publication of the manuscript by the Hudson's Bay Company, which resulted in this work, with its marvelous maps and plates.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.…

Hearne provides a snapshot of early theorizing about the future of military aviation, coming only six years after the Wright brothers had demonstrated practical powered flight, and before its great test in the First World War less than a decade later. In fact, the field was advancing so quickly that Hearne published a substantially revised second edition of this book just a year later under the title Airships in Peace and War: Being the Second Edition of Aerial Warfare. The introduction is written by Hiram Maxim, of machinegun fame. 1415002. Special Collections - Upstairs.…
