Paris. Baudry's European Library. 1836. 8vo. 21cm, viii,338p., with front folding map, bound in quarter green calf, gilt titles and decorations on the spine, marbled boards and endpapers, bookplate, some foxing, a very good copy in attractive binding. (Ar). Back, who had been on both Franklin expeditions, was sent out to locate Ross, who had been unreported through three winters.
