Excerpt from No Man's Land: A History of Spitsbergen From Its Discovery in Discovery, to the Beginning of the Scientific Exploration of the Country Students of local history at Hull, Yarmouth, Bristol, York, and Whitby will find in my pages some matters that may be of interest to them. Hull in particular is closely connected with the early history of Spitsbergen exploration. -the name of Thomas Marmaduke, a really great Arctic navigator, deserves to be remembered there with honour. Most of the more strictly historical parts of this book have been published from time to time in papers contri buted to the Geographical journal. They are reprinted here with the additions and corrections suggested by further research. I have to thank the Council of the Royal Geographical Society for permitting the use of the blocks for illustrations, especially for those reproducing rare old maps which they had photographed for me, as well as for contributing the type-setting of all the pages in small print at the end of the volume which were at one time intended to be published by the Society as an extra publication.
