MOLL FLANDERS
ACCION Y SUSPENSEAl escribir Moll Flanders Defoe aprovechó la atracción que sobre el público lector inglés ejercía la literatura criminal. Sin embargo Moll Flanders no es una simple biografía criminal hay en ella muchos puntos de contacto con la literatura picaresca: una genealogía infamente una constante superación de la modesta pero digna integración social que la beneficencia le proporciona y que tiene que ver con una búsqueda de la libertad más allá de los límites que impone no sólo el orden moral sino la propia ley penal.

Very Good in Wraps: shows indications of very light use: light wear to extremities; mild rubbing; tiny bit of curl at front corner tips; binding shows slight spine lean but remains perfectly secure; text clean. Remains close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. Squarish 8vo. 298pp. Trade Paperback. A beautifully written account of Taylor-Ide's search for the elusive yeti and of a world where nature and myth are still at home. A wonderful book to take you away from wherever you live and move you to a NEW and wonderful experience. Survivors in the true sense of the word. Nothing contrived. While reading you will want to pack a backpack and a water bottle and hike with the author and his family into places most of us will never get to go.

Not a far off scientific quest but when you are finished you will know more than you did when you started about the Top of the World. You will enjoy the whole walk up into the mountains. It is a great way to keep life in perspective. Mercury House, paperback

Daniells Roy.
Alexander Mackenzie and the North West
London: Faber & Faber Ltd 1969. Small 8vo pp 219 a good copy in very slightly worn dustwrapper. Sir Alexander Mackenzie was a Scottish explorer. Mackenzie was born in Stornoway on the isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides Scotland. In 1774 his family moved to New York and then to Montreal in 1776 during the American Revolution. In 1779 he worked for Finley and Gregory a fur trading Company later administered by Normand Macleod. In 1779 Mackenzie obtained a job with the North West Company on whose behalf he traveled to Lake Athabasca and founded Fort Chipewyan in 1788. He was sent to replace Peter Pond a partner in the North West Company. From Pond he learned that the First Nations people understood that the local rivers flowed to the northwest. Acting on this information he set out by canoe on the river known to the local Dene First Nations people as the Dehcho Mackenzie River on July 10 1789 following it to its mouth in the hope of finding the Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean. As he ended up reaching the Arctic Ocean it is conjectured that he named the river "Disappointment River" as it did not lead to Cook Inlet in Alaska as he had expected. The river was later renamed the Mackenzie River in his honor. In 1791 he returned to Great Britain to study the new advance in the measurement of longitude. Upon his return in 1792 he set out once again to find a route to the Pacific. Accompanied by native guides French voyageurs and a dog called "Our Dog" Mackenzie left Fort Fork following the route of the Peace River. He crossed the continental divide and found the upper reaches of the Fraser River but was warned by the local natives that the Fraser Canyon to the south was unnavigable and populated by belligerent tribes. He was instead directed to follow an established trading route by ascending the West Road River crossing over the Coast Mountains and descending the Bella Coola River to the sea. He followed this advice and reached the Pacific coast on July 20 1793 at Bella Coola British Columbia on North Bentinck Arm an inlet of the Pacific Ocean. Thus he completed the first recorded transcontinental crossing of North America north of Mexico. He had unknowingly missed meeting George Vancouver at Bella Coola by 48 days. He had wanted to continue westward out of a desire to encounter the open ocean but was turned back by the hostility of the Heiltsuk nation. At his westernmost point on Dean Channel on July 22 1793 hemmed in by Heiltsuk war canoes he inscribed "Alex MacKenzie / from Canada / by land / 22d July 1793" on a rock using a reddish paint made of vermilion and bear grease and turned around to return to "Canada". The rock near the water's edge in Dean Channel still bears these words which were permanently inscribed later by surveyors. The site is now Sir Alexander Mackenzie Provincial Park. In 1801 the journals of his exploratory journeys were published. He was knighted for his efforts in the following year and served in the Legislature of Lower Canada from 1804 to 1808. In 1812 he married and returned to Scotland. Mackenzie died in 1820 of Bright's disease aged 56. He is buried in Avoch on the Black Isle Ross and Cromarty. First Edition. Cloth.
