TWO YEARS IN THE ANTARCTIC
Lutterworth Press London 1955. First Edition. Hardcover Original Cloth. Good Condition/Fair. Signed by Author. 1st Edition: SIGNED and dated by the Author on the Title page. 194 pages illustrated with b/w photos and drawings in text in unclipped dust jacket. Shelf wearspotting to page edges and prelims contents clean. Dust jacket tatty with repaired splits. A personal account of two years spent in British Antarctica in the second year they were joined by an American expedition and later combined to complete an extensive survey of the East Coast of the Graham Land peninsula includes detail of how the expedition actually lived in Antarctica how they organized their base trained their dog teams and carried out their work. This is a fascinating account of Kevin Walton's trek to Antarctica in the late 1940s. It is written in such a way as to enable his readers in their imaginations to share in his experiences. He gives a vivid and authentic impression of what it really feels like to be a member of a polar expedition - to be wintering in a base hut or to be sledging with dogs perhaps the most exhilarating part of such an expedition.

WARDEN (William)
Letters written on board His Majesty's Ship the Northumberland, and at Saint Helena; in which the Conduct and Conversations of Napoleon Buonaparte, and his suite, during the Voyage, and the first months of his Residence in that Island, are faithfully described and related.
First American Edition, 12mo, half-title, engraved frontispiece, folding plate, some foxing of the text in places, ix, [2], 12-244 pp., original printed boards, uncut, hinges partly cracked, pieces of the backstrip missing at head and tail, a good copy. Warden (1777-1849) was the surgeon on board the Northumberland, and this volume of Saint Helena reminiscences describes his time on Saint Helena and his frequent visits to Longwood House, Napoleon's exile home. Disapproved of by both the pro- and anti-Napoleonic camps, the work was savaged notably in the anti-Napoleonic "Querterly Review". Amongst the French contingent on Saint Helena, there was much discussion in the spring of 1817, regarding Warden's work, as to and how to reply. A reply was made in the end, first in English and later in French, in the form of the book published anonymously under the title, "Letters from the Cape of Good Hope, in reply to Mr. Warden;......", London, 1817. As to the identity of the anonymous author, many suspected it to be Napoleon, but the letters appear to have been written by Las Cases, (who was at the Cape after being banished from Saint Helena in December 1816), and sent to Lady Clavering ('Lady C.' in the book).
