41823New York: Union Publishing House. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. A very attractive copy in quite good condition for its age. I see no date. Tjhe Library of Congress states a publication date of 1883. I see publication dates of 1885 and 1886 stated elsewhere. I wonder if others listing this title actually know or are just guessing. This copy is described as "sold only by subscription" and there certainly could be repirnts. It is a very handsome late nineteenth century volume for sure. There is slight wear to the bottom of the spine but only very light edgewear elsewhere. The gilded edges are only slightly tarnished The binding is quite sound. Inside you will find a foldout map of the circumpolar stations which looks unopened. The illustrations are quite marvelous. A very nice piece of Victoriana.
