‎Relation des 2 voyages de John Franklin à la recherche du passage nord-ouest. Le premier voyage a été effectué jusqu'à l'embouchure de la rivière Coppermine, en grande partie par voie terrestre et à l'aide de canots. C'est l'un des voyages les plus terribles jamais enregistrés, une partie des membres de l’expédition meurt de froid, de faim ou de meurtre. La distance parcourue était d'environ 5 500 milles et le récit de Franklin devint immédiatement un classique de la littérature de voyage. La deuxième expédition terrestre de Franklin partit de Fort Franklin, sur le Great beat lake. Il a tracé la côte nord-américaine à partir du fleuve Mackenzie, tandis que John Richardson a exploré en partie la côte entre les embouchures du Mackenzie et de Coppermine. Ensemble, les deux expéditions ajoutèrent 1 200 milles de côtes à la connaissance du continent américain, et Franklin reçut plusieurs honneurs et devint un héros populaire. Les vues des paysages arctiques dans cette œuvre sont remarquables pour leur beauté", les plaques ont été gravées par Finden, à partir de dessins de Hood et Back. 2 Volume 4°, full cloth, label on spine with title and date, complete of plates, maps are missing, little foxing, spot on 5 sheets (tome 1), waterstains on plates (Tome 2). The first journey was made to the mouth of the Coppermine River, largely overland and with the aid of canoes. The coast east of the mouth was surveyed. It is one of the most terrible journeys on record, may of the party dying from cold, hunger, or murder. The distance travelled was some 5,500 miles, and Franklin's narrative at once became a classic of travel literature. Franklin's second overland expedition made its departure from Fort Franklin on the Great Bear Lake. He traced the North American coast from the Mackenzie River , while John Richardson's partly explored the coast between the mouths of the Mackenzie and the Coppermine. The two expeditions together added 1,200 miles of coast line to the knowledge of the American continent, and Franklin received several honours and became a popular hero. The views of the Arctic scenery in this work are noted for their beauty", the plates were engraved by Finden, from drawings by Hood and Back. Sabin 25624‎

‎Frederick Niven [Frederick John Niven] (1878-1944), novelist from British Columbia, Canada, born in Chile of Scottish parents [R‎

‎Substantial Autograph Letter Signed 'Frederick Niven' from the Canadian novelist Frederick John Niven to the Irish journalist and essayist Robert Lynd explaining his ill health and praising Lynd's writing.‎

‎Lorenza Combe Martin North Devon. 26 December 1916. 4pp. 4to. Fair on lightly aged and creased paper with a few closed tears. The letter begins: 'Dear Lynd: I have been very ill and after two months in bed and an introduction to what Marley called "the thick sweet smell of chloroform" I have been sent down here to get better - with the word of specialist and doctor that when I am well again I shall be better than I have been for a long time. This I write because I have often thought of writing to tell you how much I relish your papers. I have often wished that you would collect them - in a kind of Retrospective Reviews volume.' He discusses Omar Khayyam 'I remember once Andrew Lang was annoyed that there were people who thought Omar would serve as their classic as well as Homer.' before returning to Lynd's work. 'I cut out those papers of yours when I see them - and just now when there seems such a dearth of work that shows any feeling for that big - and as I think immensely valuable - part of writing of any kind when people are writing so earnestly I wish you could make your work a criticism in the news.' After a reference to Hall Caine he continues: 'I daresay it will please you to know of one more who always reads an article with your name at the top of it'. He apologises for his letter: 'the news in it are very slapdashedly picked up! - but it will convey to you what I want it to convey - crawling back to this world from that other which was not a bad one either I assure you; it was a very wonderful place when I was at my worst and finding too little of what - of what I can't understand how people get along without. It is in your work. Thanks for it.' According to his entry in the Oxford DNB 'In 1899 because of lung trouble Niven travelled to British Columbia Canada where he regained his health and led an energetic outdoor life. On his return to Glasgow he began a career in journalism. He moved to England and his first novel The Lost Cabin Mine appeared in 1908. . Found unfit for military service Niven spent the First World War in London working for a time in the War Office under the novelist John Buchan. In 1920 he returned to Canada with his wife to settle on the shores of Kootenay Lake near Nelson British Columbia and became a full-time novelist.' He has been described as 'British Columbia's first professional man of letters and the first significant literary figure of the Kootenays'. From the Lynd papers.
