‎SCOTT'S LAST JOURNEY‎

‎Gerald Duckworth & Co. Ltd 1999. Cloth. Very Good. 1st Edition; Foreward by Beryl Bainbridge 192pp illustrated with over 140 illustrations many by Herbert Ponting including some only recently released by the Royal Geographical Society. Blue cloth covers with gilt titling to spine in pictorial dustjacket. The dramatic disappearance of the explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his companions in their race to reach the South Pole was seen by their contemporaries as creating heroes in a new mould. A few years later during World War I Scott's rival Shackleton also nearly met his death in the Antarctic becoming in the process another hero. Both men were set on a pedestal uncritically because they tried and failed. As the years have gone by Scott's reputation has been weighed in the balance with Shackleton's� and found wanting. Even the precious journals that Scott wrote on the journey are no longer in print while photographs of the expedition have gathered dust in scientific institutes. In this new edition of the journals Peter King re-examines Scott's exploits setting his own account against modern studies of the Polar Race and thus enabling readers to make their own judgements for the first time. The text is illuminated by a selection of photographs many of breath-taking quality taken by one of the greatest Antarctic explorers Herbert Ponting who accompanied Scott. More than a hundred and forty of these many only recently released by the Royal Geographical Society bring this extraordinary story to life. Shelfware dustjacket slightly marked contents clean.

‎Paris Imprimerie Royal 1835. 8vo. Bound entirely uncut and unopened in a recent half cloth binding with gilt lettering to spine. 3 small stamps to title-page and light occassional marginal brownspotting a fine copy. 247 pp. folded map. � The very rare first French and first overall translation of King's important sailing directions for the Coasts of Eastern and Western Patagonia being the first surveying voyage of HMS Beagle spanning from 1826 to 1830. The ship's second voyage famous for carrying the recently graduated naturalist Charles Darwin around the world visited many of the same regions as this first voyage. Incidentally King�s son Philip Gidley King was along on the voyage too. He would later be a midshipmen on the Beagle�s second voyage sharing a cabin and a life-long friendship with Darwin.<br><br>"King was now recognized as one of Britain's leading hydrographers and in February 1824 was made a fellow of the Royal Society. In May 1826 he sailed in command of H.M.S. Adventure with H.M.S. Beagle in company to chart the coasts of Peru Chile and Patagonia. This arduous task lasted until 1830. Among King's subordinates were John Stokes John Wickham and Owen Stanley. There were narrow escapes from shipwreck and the two commanders were under great strain. In August 1828 the captain of the Beagle shot himself. " ADB. <br><br>"The ship�s adventure paralleled the second voyage - calling on many of the same ports - Cape Verde Islands Rio de Janeiro Montevideo and many others Darwin would see in the coming years and creating detailed maps of several of the same regions. Though as it was one of the first attempts to really try and survey Tierra del Fuego the crew learned just how difficult the conditions were in that part of the world. A little over two years into the voyage in summer of 1828 the crew was suffering from malnutrition as the Beagle�s food supplies were virtually gone. And scurvy and infections were taking a heavy toll on the men. On August 1st the commander who was suffering from depression along with the lack of food and other illnesses shot himself in the head. He suffered for almost two weeks before he finally passed away.<br>Stokes suicide and fear of a similar fate was one of the main reasons FitzRoy decided to bring a social equal on the second voyage with him. Someone to help keep him sane. That someone of course was our Mr. Darwin." hardcover‎
