Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Sir Ernest Shackleton's copy, inscribed to him by Campbell Mackellar "Sir Ernest Shackleton from C. D. Mackellar 1921", and with a loosely inserted print of the Cabots' departure from Bristol inscribed by Mackellar "May you find fortune C. D. M.". First edition. Slim folio. pp. 8 [title, list of plates, double-column text in English and French]; 10 tinted lithographic views on 7 plates; very good in the original light blue cloth, panelled in blind, lettered in gilt beneath gilt pendant to upper cover, a.e.g., darkened on spine and outer margins of boards, wear to extrems. of spine with loss to foot of spine, soiling to boards, now contained in a three-quarter leather box with gilt decorated spine. This book is one of three works of the period illustrating the searches for Sir John Franklin's lost Arctic expedition. The fine lithographs were engraved by Charles Haghe after Browne's originals, and depict scenes of Ross's search party and of the ice-scapes through which they travelled - the Great Glacier and Fjord near Upernavik (West Greenland), a ravine in the region of the winter quarters at Port Leopold, the cliffs at Whaler Point on Somerset Island, and Leopold Island nearby. There are also views of ships locked in the pack-ice and of the sledges arriving at the southern depôt. The text contains a brief account of the Franklin search expeditions in the central Canadian Arctic, notably that of Sir James C. Ross in 1848-9 with its wintering at Port Leopold and the work of its search party. This copy was presented to Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic explorer, by one of his supporters, Campbell Mackellar, for whom Mount Mackellar in the Antarctic was named. At the time that he received the book, Shackleton was contemplating an expedition to the Canadian Arctic, but a lack of support from the Canadian authorities prompted him to decide to head south on the Quest for what proved to be his final expedition (he died aboard the Quest, off South Georgia, on January 5th, 1922).

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original green cloth with titles in gilt to the upper board. All edges gilt. 32pp. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some light marking to the boards. The contents with a little cracking in places and a touch of occasional light foxing are otherwise in very good order and clean throughout, remaining free from any previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. In his preface, Gooch explains that this semi-fictional narrative was based upon a conversation with an old man whom he had encountered outside Ramsgate. The old man's two sons had been on board the Erebus with the Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin when the expedition had infamously disappeared, never to be heard from again. Gooch dedicated the work to Dickens, apparently having appealed to him directly after George Cruikshank had refused to introduce the two men. A curious and uncommon title, having only seemingly appeared at auction once (The Kenyon Starling Library of Charles Dickens, Christies, 2008) and with only four copies listed in Copac (BL, Cambridge, Oxford, Nat. Lib. Scotland). (Yale/Gimbel H210). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

Scarce Complete Copy of the First Edition of this Rare Work on the Natural History of the Arctic. Sir John Richardson (1787 1865), surgeon, naturalist and Arctic explorer, went on Sir John Franklin's first two Arctic expeditions as ship's doctor and naturalist, and made observations and collected a large number of plant and animal specimens from the Canadian Arctic.  On his return to England after the second expedition he began to write this four-volume work of natural history, first published between 1829 and 1837. A volume is dedicated to each of the classes of mammal, bird, fish and insect, which are found in the Canadian Arctic. This work is an interesting example of pre-Darwinian natural history, full of detailed descriptions of the appearance, anatomy and behaviour of the different species. Volume 2 was first published in 1831 and focuses on the species of birds found in the Canadian Arctic. It was co-authored with naturalist and illustrator William Swainson (1789 1855) and contains many illustrations.

4to. 27.5cm, (tall copy), ix [errata slip],(-x),lxvi,523,[1]p. errata page, with With 46 of 50 hand-coloured lithographed plates & 41 wood-engraved text illustrations, rebound in later blue cloth, black leather label, the plates are clean and the colour is excellent. (cgc). Wanting: 29. Circus Cyaneus; 31. Strix Cinerea; 62. Tetrao Canadensis; 67. Totanus Semipalmatus. The First Edition of a rare and important book. Richardson was surgeon and naturalist with Franklin on his two overland expeditions to discover a Northwest Passage in 1819-22 and 1825-27, and these fine works are the chief scientific data collected. The Illustrations were drawn from specimens, volume two being the artistic work of William Swainson, the plates being hand-coloured. Richardson wrote most of the text and gives accounts of previous natural history investigations in the Arctic. Most of the species here recorded were then new to science. "To the publication of them (the four volumes). the government made a grant of 1000 pounds. This may therefore boast of being the first zoological work published with the support of the British government". -Anker. Anker, 493. Nissen 773. Zimmer II,520. Casey A. Wood, p537. Sabin 71026-7-8.
