First edition. Small 8vo. pp. [iv], 162, 2 (ads.); map frontis., two illusts. to text; old ownership inscription and inkstamp to recto of map frontis., else very good in contemporary half sheep, gilt, a little rubbed. Johan Carl Christian Petersen (1813-80) served as an interpreter on various Franklin search expeditions. This is his account of Penny's 1850-1 expedition in search of Franklin, and of Kane's Second Grinnell Expedition of 1853-5. The book reproduces, in translation, extracts from the diary of August Sonntag, astronomer with the Kane expedition. Petersen later accompanied M'Clintock on the Fox, and published a separate account of that expedition (Den sidste Franklin-Expedition med "Fox", Capt. M'Clintock, 1860).
