Parry William Edward 1790 1855
Journal of a Second Voyage for the Discovery of a North West Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific; performed in the years 1821-22-23 in his Majesty’s ships Fury and Hecla under the orders of William Edward Parry
464 pages with frontispiece figures and index. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 5 3/4" bound in original plain boards with modern mylar cover all in custom clamshell box. Arctic Bibliography 13142; Brunet IV col. 388; Hill 1312; Lowndes p.1789; Sabin 58864 First American edition.<br /><br />William Edward Parry was born in Bath England. In 1803 at the age of 13 he entered the Royal Navy and became a sublieutenant the same year. He served in the English Channel and in the Baltic Sea during the Napoleonic Wars and promoted to lieutenant in 1810 was sent to protect whalers in the Spitzbergen Archipelago. After having spent the War of 1812-1814 on the east coast of North America Parry had only one wish -- to go in search of the Northwest Passage. He requested authorization from the Admiralty to participate in the polar expeditions that it was organizing. The Admiralty agreed and supported his four Arctic voyages. His first expedition was with John Ross. He commanded the brig Alexander second ship of the expedition smaller than Ross' sloop the Isabella. Traveling more slowly than Ross Parry arrived in Lancaster Sound second where he noted that ". the swell comes from the north-west compass that is south-south-west true and continues just as it does in the ocean. It is impossible to remark this circumstance without feeling a hope that it may be caused by this inlet being a passage into a sea to the westward of it." The controversy raised by his observation which was contrary to Ross's who had seen mountains at the end of what he thought was an inlet led the Admiralty to entrust Parry with a new expedition the following year. Parry left in May 1819 to try to meet Franklin coming over land and confirmed that there were no mountains such as Ross had seen. He went on to Prince Regent Inlet which was ice-bound Barrow Strait and then a group of islands which he called North Georgian now the Parry Islands. For the first time European ships had entered the Arctic Archipelago. Continuing west Parry was the first to reach 110º west longitude off Melville Island but the ice prevented his going further and he put in at Winter Harbor on Melville Island where the freeze-up kept him until August 1 1820. He then continued west to around Cape Dundas. After having discovered a new land to the south Banks Island he had to give up his research because of ice conditions and return to England. This voyage one of the most important in the history of Arctic exploration showed that Lancaster Sound opened a passage to the west and revealed the complex labyrinth of islands through which the sea route to the west would have to be sought. Parry also proved that it was possible to spend the winter inside the Arctic Circle without being in grave danger. Back in England in November 1820 he was named Commander and unanimously elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. At the end of April 1821 the explorer again left England for the Arctic. This time he was to go through Hudson Strait and explore the territory west of Baffin Island. Passing north of Southampton Island he entered Repulse Bay then looked for a passage in the bays and inlets west of Foxe Basin but found nothing. Forced to stop he wintered close to the coast. Because of previous experience Parry had set his ships up to improve living conditions in the north. First he modified the heating to reduce humidity in the cabins and replaced the sailors' cots with hammocks to allow for better air circulation. Like Champlain in Acadia in the 17th century Parry became aware of the importance of entertainment to the crew's morale especially in the perpetual dark of northern winters. Thus every two weeks the Royal Arctic Theater put on a play with costumes and lighting which the crews of both ships attended. A class was set up for the men to learn to read and write. Others had to go ashore to the observatory every day to take magnetic readings and make other scientific observations. The arrival of a group of Inuit in February created interest for the crew and led to a friendly relationship. These Inuit told Parry of a strait that led to the sea in the west. When he was able to sail again Parry got to the strait but found it blocked by ice. He crossed it on foot and got as far as the Gulf of Boothia. He named this strait "Fury and Hecla" after his ships. Hoping to cross it with his ships the following year he spent another winter in the far north close to Igloolik Island. But the ice remained and the following summer Parry put an end to this expedition. This voyage uncovered a little known sector of the Arctic and provided them with a wealth of information on the culture and way of life of the Inuit. In 1824 Parry led another expedition again on the Hecla and the Fury. He wanted to get to Prince Regent Inlet to look for a passage to the southwest. Held up all summer by strong accumulations of ice at the entrance to Baffin Bay he entered Lancaster Sound only on September 10. Having reached Bowen Harbor in Prince Regent Inlet with great difficulty he stopped there for the winter. In July of the following year the shifting of the ice made crossing the inlet particularly difficult and dangerous. The Fury was pushed on shore and sustained serious damage. Unable to make repairs Parry abandoned it and took the crew aboard his ship. Faced with poor sailing conditions he opted to return to England. Nevertheless he had collected important information on the probable location of the magnetic pole and on arctic fauna. In 1830 John Ross's expedition would be saved thanks to the Fury's shipwreck and it would find the location of the magnetic pole. Parry conducted a last voyage in 1827 to reach the North Pole by crossing the ice in the Spitzbergen archipelago. He was the first to reach 82º45' N but he did not reach the North Pole. He was knighted on April 29 1829 at the same time as John Franklin. He then occupied several executive positions at the Admiralty. After a long illness he died at Bad Ems near Koblenz Germany on July 8 or 9 1855. For his contribution to furthering knowledge on the Arctic as a navigator and explorer Parry is considered comparable to James Cook and to James Clark Ross.

With a final leaf of advertisements for Benjamin White in London. ESTC Citation No. T113910. Pennant is sometimes considered the leading British zoologist after John Ray and before Charles Darwin. But he was also an inveterate traveller who In 1769 undertook a tour of Scotland chiefly of the highlands a region then little known by outsiders yet of interest for its natural history. A Tour in Scotland 1769 first published in 1771 "is of interest for its descriptions and for its method: Pennant circulated 'Queries addressed to the Gentlemen and Clergy of North-Britain' Scotland with standard questions about natural history and the past and present state of the parish in order to allow locals to give 'a fuller and more satisfactory Account of their Country than it is the Power of a Stranger and transient Visitant to give.' In that regard Pennant has much in common with the earlier use of circulated queries by natural philosophers such as Robert Boyle and in Scotland by the natural historian and geographer Sir Robert Sibbald and Pennant importantly prefigures the parish-based assessment of Scotland published by Sir John Sinclair in the 1790s."
