Excerpt from Handbook of Polar Discoveries This volume represents more than pages of original narrative, from which the author has faith fully endeavored to compile such data of accomplished results as may subserve the inquiries of the busy man who often wishes to know what, when, and where, rather than how. It is confidently believed that no important Arctic geographic addition to knowledge has been omitted from this record. While the original scope of the volume did not include scientific research, yet the more important investigations are mentioned, and the sources whence farther information can be drawn have been indicated in the final chapter. It should be borne in mind that this is a hand book, not a Narrative of polar discoveries and if the detailed story of adventure is wished it must be sought in the original works indicated at the end of each chapter. Avoiding the strictly chronological plan usual in most polar summaries, the topical method of treat ment has been followed, as presenting sharper pic tures of local conditions and clearer ideas of relative advances in the various geographical districts.
