Omschrijving

The Englishman's Polar Star, written by George Croly and published in 1828, is a historical account of the exploration of the Arctic region by English explorers. The book provides a detailed and fascinating narrative of the expeditions of famous explorers such as Sir John Franklin, Sir James Ross, and Sir William Parry. It also explores the motivation behind these expeditions, which was primarily to discover a northwest passage to Asia and to claim new territories for England.Croly's account is based on extensive research and includes firsthand accounts from the explorers themselves. He also provides a vivid description of the harsh conditions and challenges faced by the explorers, including the extreme cold, dangerous ice conditions, and the threat of starvation.The book is not only a fascinating historical record but also serves as a tribute to the bravery and determination of the English explorers who risked their lives to chart new territories and expand the knowledge of the world. It is a deeply interesting and highly important read for anyone interested in the history of exploration and the Arctic region.With Introductory And Concluding Remarks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
