"_This is a very remarkable book, and unless we very much
misunderstand both him and his book, the author is one of those
men of whom great nations do well to be proud._"--Spectator.
"_If Capt. Hall should survive the perils of the journey on
which he is now engaged, we are convinced he will bring home
some news, be it good or bad, about the Franklin expedition. He
can hardly be expected back before the autumn of 1866. But if
he has gone he has left us his vastly entertaining volumes,
which contain much valuable information, as we have said,
concerning the Esquimaux tribes. These volumes are the best
that we have ever met with, concerning the people and things to
be found among 'the thick ribb'd ice.'_"--Standard.
"_The pen of Wilkie Collins would fail to describe in more
life-like terms of horror the episode of the cannibal crew
escaped from a whaler who boarded the 'George Henry' on the
outward passage of that ship. We are tempted to relate how an
Innuit throws a summersault in the water in his_ kyack, _boat
and all, and to introduce our readers to our Author's dogs,
including the famous Barbekerk; but we must pause, and refer to
this most interesting work itself, which will repay
perusal._"--Press.
