Hardcover. 2 works in one volume. 8vo., (9 x 5 6/8 inches). Fine aquatint frontispiece and four aquatint plates, and one engraved plate (this last a bit spotted). Modern calf backed marbled paper boards. First editions, published in volume II, numbers 2 and 8 respectively of "Voyages and Travels", a serial publication issued in…monthly parts by Richards between about 1819 and 1824. M'Keevor was a medical advisor on Thomas Douglas, fifth earl of Selkirk's expedition of 1812 to establish a colony at Red River, the first European settlement in what is now western Canada. M'Keevor records in considerable detail the customs of Inuit natives and Arctic geography and fauna, as well as an account of the Red River settlement. Accompanying his description are spectacular aquatints of ice-flows, iceburgs, and an engraving of a polar bear. Bound with Christophe Paulin Chevalier de las Poix de Freminiville's "Voyage to the North Pole" in 1806, one of his earliest voyages. An archeologist, sailor and naturalist de Freminville began his career on the seas in 1801, inspired by the voyages of Captain James Cook, which he is reputed to have read for the first time at the age of 8. Rising steadily through the ranks he became a captain in 1830. During his many years at sea Freminiville was involved in several scientific expeditions. Between the years 1823-1829 he sailed along the Central and Southern American coastline, and as on all his voyages, drawing coastal profiles and views, and specimens of exotic creatures, some of which were named in his honour, including a number of marine species, but most notably the Eagle Ray (Myliobatis Fremonvillei).
