Lyon was commander of the Hecla on Parry's second expedition attempting to discover a northwest passage. The party surveyed Repulse Bay Fury and Hecla Strait and spent two winters in the Arctic gathering a great mass of scientific information on the region. The work is particularly interesting for its wealth of information about the native peoples. "Almost the entire volume is devoted to the narration of the peculiarities of the Aborigines of the Arctic regions. Captain Lyon's curiosity led him to observe with great attention the habits of life and traits of character of the different tribes of Esquimaux which his humanity and good management attracted to his winter quarters. They built their villages near his ships and permitted a closer familiarity than any other of the Arctic voyagers was able to attain. His narrative therefore abounds with incidents of their intercourse and curious anecdotes of Esquimaux life" - Field "The expedition Parry's second in the search for the north-west passage sailed on 8 May 1821 entered the Arctic region through Hudson Strait examined Repulse Bay and the neighbouring coast of Melville peninsula and wintered at a small island to the eastward of the Frozen Strait. The next summer they went further north and entered Fury and Hecla Strait but the season being then far advanced they turned back wintered at Igloolik lat. 69°21' N long. 81°44' W and came home in autumn 1823 as signs of scurvy among the crew made it inadvisable to stay. On 13 November Lyon was promoted captain and the following year he published The private journal of Captain G. F. Lyon" ODNB. Rare in original publisher's boards.

First published in 1853 this work is widely considered one of the most important and influential American legal treatises of the nineteenth century. Parsons was the Dane Professor of Law at Harvard University from 1848-1870. Like others who held the title such as Greenleaf and Story he sought to move beyond purely English precedents and create a systematic framework of American law for practitioners and students. His work played an essential role in the development of American law as a distinct body. In The Law of Contracts which reached nine editions Parsons articulated what became known as the "objective" theory of contract law which prioritized the language of a contract over its framers' intent. This theory represented an important shift for American commerce and came to dominate American contract law; The Law of Contracts itself remained influential well into the twentieth century. John Lyon Gardiner 1841-1901 was a member of an old influential and very wealthy New York family. He gave up his law practice to become the eleventh proprietor of Gardiners Island one of the largest privately owned islands in the United States.
