First Edition
First American Edition. Rebound in modern half calf over marbled paper boards, the spine with five raised bands, gilt decorations and rules within the compartments, contrasting leather title label lettered in gold. pp [4 pp ads], [1], 2-3, [4-6] [all ads] [i]-ii, [1], 2-259, [16 pp ads] + 16 page catalogue of Hilliard, Gray & Co's Catalogue of Improved School Books, Boston Bookstore. Mild tanning to the text but very crisp and clean throughout. This is the American issue, presumably distributed by Hilliard, Gray & Co. The Review of the Beechley book is extensive, occupying pp 210-231 and giving a remarkably full account of the voyage. The adverts are all included and bound in; the preliminary 4 pages being ads for THE BOSTON BOOKSTORE, 134, Washington-Street, William Hyde; [English Books, New German Books, Rare Works, Botanical Works, Classical and School Books, Cambridge Mathematics, Cambridge Course of Natural Philosophy], followed by 6 pages of adverts for Lilly & Wait (Rear of Boyston Market); the ads at the rear are for Richardson, Lord and Holbrook, Boston (Catalogue of School Books, 12 pp); Scott's Family Bible (4 pp, slightly trimmed); & Hilliard, Gray & Co's Catalogue of Improved School Books (16 pp, printed by T.R. Marvin, Printer, Congress-Street, Boston). There are no separate title pages for the individual monthly issues and the typography is subtly different from the UK issues making this most likely a separate American printing. Beautifully bound, in fine condition. Also included in this volume are reviews of: A History of England from the Invasion by the Romans, by John Lingard, D.D.; Cain the Wanderer, and Other Poems & The Revolt of the Angels, and the Fall from Paradise, an Epic Drama by Edmund Reade, Esq.; The History and Antiquities of the Doric Race, by C.O. Müller; The Siamese Twins, A Satirical tale of the Times, by the Author of Pelham, etc (Bulwer-Lytton]; and others.

Vol II (2), errata slip, vi-vii, directions to binder pages 393-742 (2 publishers advertisements), illustrated 7 plates. (MISSING 1 plate). Half bound marbled boards. Beechey s expedition on board the H.M.S. Blossom formed part of a double-pronged assault on the western approaches to the Arctic. Sent by way of Bering s Strait to explore the northern coast eastward, Beechey was to eventually link up with Franklin s second expedition, working westward from the Mackenzie River. The two parties came within several hundred miles of each other, one of Beechey s vessels managing to penetrate as far as Cape Barrow, while Franklin turned back at Return Reef at about 149 degrees west. The narrative contains scientific data, descriptions of Eskimo life and culture, and much of importance relating to Alaska (including the Aleutian, Pribilov and other islands), the Tuamotu Archipelago, the Society Islands, and Tahiti, Hawaii, and the coast of California. There are also valuable accounts of Monterey and San Francisco prior to the American conquest, as well as a lengthy account of the mutiny of the Bounty, as related by its sole survivor, John Adams. "Beechey's expedition went to the Bering Strait "As a relief expedition to await the separate expeditions of Captains Franklin and Parry." Beechey heard at Kamchatka that Parry had turned back, but he waited at Kotzebue Sound for Franklin through the Summers of 1827-8. "Near Point Barrow, Alaska, Beechey and Franklin had arrived within fifty leagues of each other, when the latter was compelled by the weather to turn back." Also described are visits to Pitcairn Island, Tahiti, Alaska, Hawaii, Macao, Okinawa, and the coast of California. On Pitcairn, Beechey met the last survivor of the Bounty mutiny, John Adams. "He also gives an important account of Monterey and San Francisco before the American conquest." Beechey rose to Rear-Admiral, and between 1836-47 undertook a survey of the coast of Ireland. "From 1850 until his death he was superintendent of the marine department of the Board of Trade; he was consulted on all Arctic issues, including the search for Sir John Franklin by the Arctic council In 1855 he was elected president of the Royal Geographical Society, an office which he still held at his death, on 29 November 1856 Beechey was an outstanding professional hydrographer who served in the last years of heroic endeavour, and lived to publish the results of his scientific observations on tides" (ODNB) Arctic Bibliography 1227; Field 105; Hill 93; Howes B-309; Lada-Mocarski 95; Sabin 4347; Wickersham 6541.
