Gilt tooling on spine. Color faded from spine and from top edge of upper board. Fine condition. References: Arctic Bib. 10530; Lande 1292; Sabin 42851. Narrative of search for the Northwest Passage through the Hudson Bay; observations on Southampton Island, Eskimos, tides, and compass variations. George Francis Lyon, one of Barrow's favorites, had made a name for himself in the exploration of Africa before serving as commander of the HMS Hecla during William Edward Parry's second Arctic voyage. Thereafter, in the spring of 1824 Lyon was given command of the sluggish and cranky HMS Griper, with orders to winter in Repulse Bay, in northwest Hudson Bay, and then cross Melville Peninsula to explore the northern coast of mainland America. Ice conditions were difficult, however, and he was unable to even reach Repulse Bay, and had to return home that same Fall. He was never given another naval command.
