First edition. Hind was a geologist and teacher who had accompanied the Canadian exploring expedition to Red River in 1857. Two years later, “he attempted to persuade the British government to finance an expedition into the northwest, and when he failed he turned to other activities. He led a small party, which included his brother William George Richardson, up the Rivière Moisie into the Labrador interior in 1861, hoping to find a route to the Atlantic. The expedition was unproductive scientifically but resulted in 1863 in another colourful work" (DCB). Sabin 31933; TPL 4069.
