Excerpt from The Geographical Journal, Vol. 31: Including the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society; January to June 1908 Sir Leopold had completed his work, The Voyage of the For in the Arctic Seas, ' in 1859, before he joined the Doris. This narrative of the discovery of the fate of Sir John Franklin and his companions, with a preface by Sir Roderick Murchison, is a perfect model of what such a book should be, and shows the character of the author in every page his modesty, his total unconsciousness of the greatness of his achieve ment, his simme dignity and straightforwardness. It is a plain narrative admirably told, and is deeply interesting. It will be a classic, among the annals of British enterprise and discovery, for all time. Its value is enhanced by the appendix, containing a geological account of the Arctic archipelago, and a paper on its tidal streams by Prof. Haughton. The fourth edition appeared in 1875, and the fifth in 1881, which has been stereotyped by Mr. Murray. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
