Eine weitere 1829 mit einem Dampfschiff unternommene, von Ross privat organisierte und auch mit Privatmitteln finanzierten Expedition in die Nordpolregion blieb im Packeis stecken, wodurch die Crew zur viermaligen Überwinterung in der Eisregion gezungen wurde, bevor ihre Rettung durch den Walfänger Isabella erfolgte.

Hanway was both a widely traveled merchant with connections to the Russia Company and a philanthropist whose causes included foundlings prostitutes and the climbing apprentices of chimney sweeps. His mother's death in 1755 prompted him to return to Portsmouth where she was buried that sojourn served as inspiration for this his second book to which he appended An Essay on Tea. Hanway describes many of the places he visited including Salisbury with its great cathedral and Stonehenge with digressions on tombstones sacred music and oratorios divine poetry temperance lapdogs false grief the ruling passion of women and much else. His Essay on Tea indicts the beverage for causing everything from insomnia weak nerves and scurvy to bad teeth and proposes 'Herbs of our own growth in lieu of tea.' Oliver Goldsmith Samuel Johnson and other ardent tea-drinkers criticized these eccentric views in The Idler and other publications. N. B.

This copy is complete with the full complement of plates in Volume 4 ten of which are sometimes found excised from this edition 'at the request of Central Australian Aboriginal custodians as they illustrate things persons or events which according to their traditional customs may only be seen by initiated males' from the publisher's note present in these sets; it is our understanding that only sets sold at or through the Horn Expedition Commemorative Symposium held at Alice Springs in 1994 underwent this operation. <p>The purpose of the original scientific expedition sponsored by mining magnate and philanthropist William Austin Horn and with Charles Winnecke as commander and surveyor was to examine the MacDonnell Ranges on the not unreasonable premise that 'when the rest of the Continent was submerged the elevated portions of the McDonnell sic Range existed as an island and that consequently older forms of life might be found in the more inaccessible parts'. This in fact proved not to be the case but the expedition of some fourteen weeks and 2000 miles by camel was an outstanding success. 'It was not the intention . to explore a new region . But in the pursuit of natural history the expedition split into independent groups and explored undiscovered areas thus filling in more of the blank spaces in this vast region' Feeken Feeken and Spate. 'These volumes constitute one of the most substantial contributions in nineteenth-century Australian exploration but perhaps more importantly the expedition is a landmark in anthropological history because it resulted in Baldwin Spencer meeting Frank Gillen' Mulvaney.
