Sir John Franklin (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sir John Franklin This book is based mainly on narratives of two expeditions to the Polar Seas by Sir John Franklin himself, and on a monograph - of which he is the subject - written by M. de la Roquette. For the latter - which I found to be in part identical with the article on Franklin in the old edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica - I am indebted to Miss Sophia Cracroft, Sir John Franklin's niece, who has most generously given me other assistance, for which I here tender her my heartiest thanks. A few paragraphs have already appeared in articles contributed by me to the Cornhill Magazine. Generally, I have made use of the well-known works of Sir John Kichardson, Captain Sherard Osborne, Dr. Kane, Admiral M'Clintock, &c., The maps, it is hoped, will enable the reader to follow the narrative with ease.
