Excerpt from Voyages of Discovery and Research Within the Arctic Regions, From the Year 1818 to the Present Time: Under the Command of the Several Naval Officers Employed by Sea and Land in Search of a Northwest Passage From the Atlantic to the Pacific; With Two Attempts to Reach the North Pole If, by bringing forward the present volume, I shall have succeeded in affording gratification to those who are mainly the objects of it, my principal aim will be accomplished: in the compilation of it, I was influenced by the consideration that such an epitome was due to those whose persevering and adventurous exertions for the extension and improvement of science and geography have conferred a public benefit; but it did not escape me that something of this kind was also wanting, and might be acceptable, to supply the place of the official quarto volumes, whose costly size and decorations preclude them from the general and ordinary class of readers. By the copious details they embrace, in every branch of astronomical and nautical science, of geography, meteorology, and other physical researches - the charts and prints by which they are illustrated - they are made highly valuable to the man of science and taste, and well adapted for public libraries, or those generally found in the mansions of the wealthy; but they are not exactly suited for general circulation.
