Second edition published after quarto edition of the same year.<br /><br />Frederick William Beechey 17 February 1796 – 29 November 1856 was an English naval officer and geographer. He was the son of Sir William Beechey RA and was born in London. 1806 he entered the Royal Navy and saw active service during the wars with France and America. In 1818 he served under Lieutenant afterwards Sir John Franklin in David Buchan's Arctic expedition of which at a later period he published a narrative. In the following year he accompanied Lieutenant W. E. Parry in HMS Hecla. In 1821 he took part in the survey of the Mediterranean coast of Africa under the direction of Captain afterwards Admiral William Henry Smyth. He and his brother Henry William Beechey made an overland survey of this coast and published a full account of their work in 1828 under the title of Proceedings of the Expedition to Explore the Northern Coast of Africa from Tripoly Eastward in 1821-1822. In 1825 Beechey was appointed to command the HMS Blossom. His task was to explore the Bering Strait in concert with Franklin and Parry operating from the east. In the summer of 1826 he passed the strait and a barge from his ship reached 71°23'31" N. and 156°21'30" W. near Point Barrow which he named a point only 146 miles west of that reached by Franklin's expedition from the Mackenzie river. The whole voyage lasted more than three years and in the course of it Beechey discovered several islands in the Pacific and an excellent harbor near Cape Prince of Wales. In July 1826 he named the three islands in the Bering Strait. Two were the Diomede Islands that Vitus Bering had named in 1728: "Ratmanoff Island" Big Diomede and "Krusenstern Island" Little Diomede. Beechey called the uninhabited third islet "Fairway Rock" which is still its contemporary name. One of his crew Petty Officer John Bechervaise gave a detailed account of the voyage in his Thirty Six Years if a Seafaring Life by an Old Quartermaster published privately in 1839. In 1831 there appeared his Narrative of a Voyage to the Pacific and Beering's Strait to Co-operate with the Polar Expeditions 1825-1828. In 1835 and the following year Captain Beechey was employed on the coast survey of South America and from 1837 to 1847 carried on the same work along the Irish coasts. He was appointed in 1850 to preside over the Marine Department of the Board of Trade. In 1854 he was made rear-admiral and in the following year was elected president of the Royal Geographical Society. Beechey Island where Sir John Franklin wintered is named after him.<br /><br /><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />Name neatly excised from head corner of titles small inconspicuous stamp to last pages.

Frézier set sail in 1712 with a French commission to assess the strength of Spanish settlements on the Pacific coast and to revise existing charts. According to Hill he "brought back information of considerable geographical and scientific value" to later navigators and his account is today appreciated for its keen observations of the customs commerce and natural history—including the cotton and strawberry plants—of Chile Peru and Tierra del Fuego. It's interesting to note that Frezier's surname was itself derived from fraise the French for strawberry. The chapters on Indian and Creole life include descriptions of costume and architecture as well as musical instruments. The folding plans of cities visited are often enhanced by panoramic views as in the case of Callao Concepción Valparaíso La Serena Salvador de Bahía and Angra Azores. Amongst the most important plates are the general map of the expedition the Strait of Lemaire Valdivia Bahía de an Vicente Santiago de Chile Lima and Bahía de Todos los Santos. An immediate success the work was soon translated into English and German and republished several times in the eighteenth century. N. B.
