Arctic Bibl. 14489, Sabin 71025.Provenienz:John Madden (+ 1902); vgl. die gest. EL in den Vorsätzen.Der Arzt Sir John Richardson (1787–1865) diente seit 1807 als Chirurg auf verschiedenen Schiffen der königlichen Marine und nahm auch 1819–22 und 1825–27 an beiden Franklin-Expeditionen teil. Für die Suche nach - bei seiner dritten Expedition (1847–49) verschollenen - Franklin wurde 1849 eine Expedition unter Richardson und John Rae (1813–1893) geschickt, die jedoch erfolglos war. Richardson nutzte die Reise zur Erforschung der Region um den Mackenzie River und Cape Kendall, wobei sein Interesse ausser der Geographie, der Fauna und Flora (detaillierte Aufstellung der Pflanzen im Appendix) ebenso den Eskimos und den Indianern, ihrer Sprache (komparative Tabelle der Dialekte im Anhang) und Sitten galt. Die Illustrationen (Lith.von M&N.Hanhart) zeigen vorwiegend die Mitglieder des Gwichin (Kutchin) Stammes.
