About This Item

London,: John Murray,, 1824.. In-4 p. (mm. 282x218), mz. pelle mod. con ang., dorso a cordoni con tit. oro, pp. (8),XXX,(2),571, molto ben illustrato - come da Indice - da 28 (su 31, inclusa l'antiporta) pregevoli tavole inc. in rame, per lo più dedicate agli usi e costumi degli Eschimesi, loro abitazioni, utensili, imbarcazioni, scene di pesca, caccia, ecc. e da 8 grandi carte geografiche, più volte ripieg., pure inc. in rame. In Appendice un “vocabulary of Esquimaux words and sentences”. "Prima edizione". William Parry, navigatore ed esploratore inglese (1790-1855), effettuò tre spedizioni alla ricerca di un passaggio a nord-ovest. Questo è il resoconto della seconda spedizione artica, iniziata nel maggio 1821. “Parry was twice frozen in for several months, but made many explorations and discoveries by sea and by land. He became a captain in November of that year, and in 1823 was appointed acting hydrographer to the Admiralty. This work deals with the chracteristics of the Eskimos and is a treatise on aboriginal life as well as a narrative of scientific discoveries”. Così The Hill Collection,1312. Solo qualche lieve fiorit. o arross., altrimenti esemplare con barbe ben conservato.
