Excerpt from Arctic Researches and Life Among the Esquimaux: Being the Narrative of an Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin, in the Years 1860, 1861, and 1862 Before this book passes from the writer's hands into those of the reader, the author will be once more among the ice of the arc tic regions. Though the last p( 0e of manuscript was written on the morning of my embarkation, the book itself has been no hasty work. I returned nearly two years ago from the expedi tion which I have endeavored to describe. Almost every hour since then, which could be spared from the arrangements for my second expedition, has been devoted to the preparation of this volume from my voluminous journal and notes taken on the spot.
