95503London Longman 1851. . First edition. 8vo xvi 416pp. 4 coloured lithograph plates. folding lithographed map original pictorial dark blue cloth gilt occasional light spotting a very good example.<br /> Parker Snow 1817-1895 an eccentric English explorer was working as a writer in New York when he claimed to have had a paranormal vision of the whereabouts of the missing Arctic expedition of Sir John Franklin and immediately wrote to Lady Jane Franklin with a plan for a search. This was largely based upon the premise that if Franklin was in difficulty he would have realised that the Admiralty would send a rescue expedition and therefore his best course of action would be to guide the relief party to him by means of leaving evidence at one of the Arctic 'beacons'. Consequently Lady Franklin made him the civil officer of her expedition on board the ketch Prince Albert that explored the Boothia Peninsula for any sign of the missing expedition between June and September 1850 without success. On his return Parker Snow wrote the present work which Lady Franklin used to promote further expeditions.<br /> Sabin 85560. London, Longman, 1851. hardcover
