Der britische Marineoffizier John Ross (1777 - 1856), von 1812 an im Range eines Commanders, wurde 1818 mit dem Kommando einer Expedition zur Suche nach der Nordwestpassage betraut, in deren Verlauf er in dem von ihm entdeckten grönländischen Thulebezirk zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der westlichen Zivilisation Kontakt zu den Polareskimos aufnehmen konnte. Eine weitere 1829 mit einem Dampfschiff unternommene, von Ross privat organisierte und auch mit Privatmitteln finanzierten Expedition in die Nordpolregion blieb im Packeis stecken, wodurch die Crew zur viermaligen Überwinterung in der Eisregion gezungen wurde, bevor ihre Rettung durch den Walfänger Isabella erfolgte. Ein Erfolg der Expedition waren unter anderem die Entdeckung des magnetischen Nordpols durch Ross' Neffen James Clark Ross auf der Boothia-Halbinsel. in dem hier vorliegenden zweibändigen Expeditionsbericht [5 Warenabbildungen]

Goldsmiths'-Kress 9083. Cox I p. 19. Hanway was both a widely traveled merchant with connections to the Russia Company and a philanthropist whose causes included foundlings prostitutes and the climbing apprentices of chimney sweeps. His mother's death in 1755 prompted him to return to Portsmouth where she was buried that sojourn served as inspiration for this his second book to which he appended An Essay on Tea. Hanway describes many of the places he visited including Salisbury with its great cathedral and Stonehenge with digressions on tombstones sacred music and oratorios divine poetry temperance lapdogs false grief the ruling passion of women and much else. His Essay on Tea indicts the beverage for causing everything from insomnia weak nerves and scurvy to bad teeth and proposes 'Herbs of our own growth in lieu of tea.' Oliver Goldsmith Samuel Johnson and other ardent tea-drinkers criticized these eccentric views in The Idler and other publications. N. B.
