LAND OF THE WHITE BEAR.
The Cruise of the "Pandora," to the Arctic Seas in 1875.
By LIEUT. F. G. INNES-LILLINGSTON, R.N.
With beautiful full-page Illustrations.
Cloth Gilt, 5s.
"The volume is prettily got up, and the views of Arctic
scenery are about the best we have seen in any recent
work of the kind."--_Athenæum._
"Thanks to English pluck and perseverance, combined, in
so many instances, with the ability to write a book,
we have become as familiar with Arctic-life scenes
and adventures as they can be made so by description.
In the present well-got-up little volume, we have an
account of the first voyage of the _Pandora_.... We
can heartily recommend Lieut. Innis-Lillingston's
narrative--his first attempt, as he tells us, at
book-writing--as giving a graphic account, in a
very unpretentious style, of his most interesting,
but perilous cruise.... As a gilt book, we can also
recommend the _Land of the White Bear_, for it is
exceedingly well illustrated, and both in letter-press
and binding is in the Messrs. Griffin's usually good
style."--_U.S. Gazette._
THE LAST FOUR DAYS OF THE "EURYDICE."
By Captain E. H. VERNEY, R.N.
With Portrait of the "Eurydice." Cloth. 2s. 6d.
"Capt. Verney has done his work remarkably well, and
with the best possible taste. He does not moralize
or try to improve the occasion, but, writing with a
restrained pathos and a graphic touch, he lets the
stern simple facts speak for themselves."--_Athenæum._
