‎LYON Captain George Francis.‎

‎A Brief Narrative of an Unsuccessful Attempt to Reach Repulse Bay through Sir Thomas Rowe's "Welcome" in His Majesty's Ship Griper in the Year MDCCXXIV.‎

‎1825. London William Clowes for John Murray 1825. 8vo. Contemporary English half calf gilt over marbled boards spine gilt in compartments gilt morocco lettering-pieces in 2 others decorated with central flower tools marbled endpapers all edges marbled; pp. xvi 198 2 list of plates imprint on verso; one engraved folding map by J. Walker after E.N. Kendall 6 engraved plates by Edward Finden after Lyon and Kendall one engraved diagram and wood-engraved illustrations and letterpress tables in the text; extremities very lightly rubbed and bumped causing minimal surface loss at corners some variable generally light offsetting or spotting nonetheless a fresh copy in a contemporary binding; provenance: the Earl of Ilchester engraved bookplate by Griffiths and Weigalls on upper pastedown Franks Collection 28348 and pencilled pressmark on from free endpaper. First edition. The naval officer and explorer Lyon 1795-1832 was educated at Dr Burney's naval academy Gosport Hampshire and entered the navy in 1808. He was commissioned lieutenant in 1814 and saw service with the Royal Navy before joining Ritchie on his ill-fated journey to Tripoli. Although the expedition was not successful -- Ritchie died and Lyon suffered serious illness -- it marked out Lyon as an intrepid officer and he published an account of it in 1821 as A Narrative of Travels in North Africa. In the same year Lyon was promoted to Commander and joined Sir William Parry's second expedition to search for the North-West Passage taking command of HMS Hecla. This expedition 'entered the Arctic region through Hudson Strait examined Repulse Bay and the neighbouring coast of Melville peninsula and wintered at a small island to the eastward of the Frozen Strait. The next summer they went further north and entered Fury and Hecla Strait but the season being then far advanced they turned back wintered at Igloolik lat. 69°21' N long. 81°44' W and came home in autumn 1823 as signs of scurvy among the crew made it inadvisable to stay' ODNB. Lyon was advanced to captain on 13 November 1823 and his narrative The Private Journal of Captain G.F. Lyon … during the Recent Voyage of Discovery under Captain Parry was issued in 1824. In the same year Lyon took command of HMS Griper which had participated in Parry's first voyage of 1819 with instructions 'to reach Repulse Bay by whatever route he judged best and from it to examine the coast of the mainland westward to the point where John Franklin's voyage had ended its survey' op. cit. -- however the expedition was frustrated by the unfavourable weather conditions and forced to return. Lyon published his account of the expedition in 1825 in the present work which is prefaced by his official instructions from the Admiralty and Earl Bathurst and concludes with an appendix by Professor Peter Barlow of the Royal Military Academy Woolwich on the magnetic variation recorded by the expedition and anomalies in those records; a tabular 'Abstract of the Days' Work'; and a 'Botanical Appendix' by Sir William Jackson Hooker which describes 53 species collected by Lyon. A Brief Narrative is also notable for the information it gives on the indigenous peoples Lyon encountered - Hill comments that he 'gives interesting accounts of the Eskimos of the Southampton Islands immediately north of Hudson's Bay' - and one of the plates is of 'Esquimaux Likenesses' with six portraits by Lyon.

In 1818 Lyon 1795-1833 was sent along with Joseph Ritchie by Sir John Barrow to find the course of the Niger River and the location of Timbuktu. The expedition was underfunded and lacked lacked support. A year later due to much officialdom they had only got as far as Murzuk where they both fell ill. Ritchie never recovered and died there but Lyon survived and travelled a little further around the region. Exactly a year to the day he left he arrived back in Tripoli. Lyon travelled in Arabic dress and being fluent in Arabic was able to gain insights missed by more conventional travellers. On his return he travelled on Parry's expedition to the Arctic as Commander on board the Hecla The hand-coloured plates after drawings by Lyon are particularly attractive.
