Описание: Trader and adventurer Peter Dillon (1788-1847) spent much of his life in the Pacific.

Описание: Reissued in its 1818 second edition, these papers by two fellows of the Royal Society, Daines Barrington (1727/8-1800) and Mark Beaufoy (1764-1827), discuss Arctic exploration and evidence for the theorised open polar sea. Relying on the testimony of others, Barrington`s contributions, though flawed, retain historical considerable interest.

Описание: The Domesday Book`s bearing upon the geography of medieval England has been largely neglected. The extraction of geographical information involves problems of interpretation, but also makes available otherwise unobtainable evidence for forming a general picture of the relative prosperity of different areas, as well as data for the comparative study of varying geographic and economic factors.

Описание: The naval officer Frederick William Beechey (1796-1856) served under John Franklin during the 1818 British expedition to the Arctic. The two ships, Dorothea and Trent, were caught in ice and failed to find a route beyond Spitsbergen. This work, published in 1843, remains the principal account of the expedition.
