Narrative of the first and second expeditions
Sir John Franklin, 1823-1828
FRANKLIN, Sir John (1786-1847). Narrative of a Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea, in the Years 1819-20, 21, and 22. London: John Murray, 1823. [With:] Narrative of a Second Expedition to the Shores of the Polar Sea, in the Years 1825, 1826, and 1827. London: John Murray, 1828.

First editions of Franklin's overland voyages. "The views of Arctic scenery are of extreme beauty" (Hill). The first voyage was made to the mouth of the Coppermine River and is one of the worst journeys on record, with many of the party dying from cold, hunger, or murder. 5,500 miles were covered and Franklin's narrative at once became a classic of travel literature. The second voyage traced the North American coast from the Mackenzie River to longitude 149° 37' W. Abbey Travel 635; Arctic Bib. 5194, 5198; Bobins 49; Graff 1406-1407; Hill p.111; Lande 1181-1182; Sabin 25624, 26228; TPL 1248, 1434.
