Catalogue Note
This work was designed to be added to the second edition of the author's The North-West Passage (see the preface and introduction). However, this separate printing is the first issue of the Sequel with its own title-page, a small number of which were printed for those who had already bought the first edition. An important work as it includes an account of M'Clintock's explorations (1857-9) during which the first artefacts from the Franklin expedition were recovered.
