Описание: James Parsons, author of this 1857 work on the disappearance of Sir John Franklin`s Arctic expedition, clearly had knowledge of naval practice, the seas and climate of the Arctic region, and the records of earlier expeditions. His account of the known facts concludes that there could now be no survivors.
Описание: Little is known about Captain John Frederick Dennett, who published this 1826 compilation of travel narratives.

As well as accounts of Arctic expeditions, he devotes a chapter to the activities of Belzoni in Egypt.
