Account of the voyage to Smith Sound and of the winter on the north-west coast of Greenland with extensive notes on the flora and fauna. No one had yet sailed beyond its northern portals. Kane determined to do so. John P. Kennedy secretary of the navy gave enthusiastic personal support and Henry Grinnell donated the brig Advance. Private subscription financed the enterprise.No trace of Franklin's party was found by the expedition but the coasts of Kane Basin were charted and Kennedy Channel was discovered Meteorological magnetic astronomical and tidal observations botanical glacial and geological surveys studies of animal and Eskimo life established sound foundations for the scientific study of the Arctic.In August 1854 Hayes the surgeon and eight men protesting the commander's resolve to remain a second winter announced their determination to hazard the journey to the South Greenland settlements. Kane sanctioning the withdrawal equipped them from limited supplies. In December they returned to the vessel broken in body and morale. Kane became doctor nurse and cook to a shipful of bedridden men. With indomitable courage he planned and then executed their escape. The Advance still frozen in was abandoned May 20 1855. With the loss of one man the party carrying the invalids reached Upernivik in eighty-three days a retreat which stands in the annals of Arctic exploration as archetype of victory in defeat.

18526293Ingram Cooke 1852. 8vo. First Edition with tinted lithograph as frontispiece engraved and printed titles and 6 tinted lithographed plates some light spotting mainly marginal as often; original 'National Illustrated Library' series binding of dark green cloth elaborately blocked in blind pictorial back gilt extra primrose endpapers expertly rebacked with old backstrip laid down a remarkably bright clean crisp copy in period binding. With the contemporary binder's ticket of Leighton Son & Hodge who bound many titles in this series and the contemporary trade ticket of Willmer & Smith of Church St. Liverpool. This work was translated into English expressly for inclusion in Cooke's popular series following the success of the same author's 'Woman's Journey round the World' 1852; to maintain uniformity the more expensive tinted plates were once again adopted here. In the event the present work proved even more popular with an audience eager for information from exotic lands and 'Pfeiffer's Iceland' became a travel standard of the nineteenth century.

111633 January 1896; The Author's Club 3 Whitehall Court SW London. 12mo 4 pp. 61 lines. Text clear and complete. Good on lightly-aged paper. An impressive letter applying for work. He does not expect Massingham addressed as 'W. H. Massingham' to remember their meeting 'in the Lobby' when he was 'chief reporter on The Sun' while at the same time holding 'a Parliamentary engagement on the staff of the C. N.' Gives details of his subsequent employment including joining the editorial staff of the 'Manchester Guardian' 'principally to look after their weekly paper which was in a sad way. I prolonged its existence rather than gave fresh life to it & in May last it died.' For the last four months he has been 'in Asia Minor & Syria seeing something of the disturbed country - an interview of mine with Sir Phillip Currie is to appear in the English Illustrated - & getting material which I hope may be useful to me'. He is 'now back in London extremely anxious to get back in the Press Gallery'. A 'descriptive writer' is more than he can hope for and he would like to 'secure a sessional engagement on the reporting staff of the Daily Chronicle'. He is a 'verbatim note taker' and 'a good summary writer' and is 'well acquainted with Parliamentary work'. Names six individuals 'who know what sort of journalist I am' including Clement Shorter and T. P. O'Connor. As 'a young man & a Radical' he would 'prefer the Daily Chronicle especially as it is also a literary paper'. Being 'a magazine writer' does not prevent him from 'being a reporter'. He is 'no novice to Parliamentary reporting for it is only eighteen months since I left it'. 3 January 1896; The Author's Club, 3 Whitehall Court, SW, London. unknown
