Red marbled endpapers. All edges marbled to match. Illustrated with 23 plates and 3 maps (including large folding map showing the route taken by the H.M.S. Blossom). Some of the plates include a View of Point Barrow, Natives of the Coast near Cape Thomson, 3 plates of fossil remains and also a Portrait of John Adams. Errata slip in volume 1. A fine very clean copy. Arctic Biblio. 1228. Sabin 4347. Ferguson, 1418; Hill, p.19, Lada-Mocarski, 95. H.M.S. Blossom was commissioned by the Admiralty as a relief expedition to the Bering Strait area to await the expeditions of Captain Parry and Franklin on their North West Passage Expeditions. Beechey had instructions to explore those areas of the Pacific on his route and to reach Bering Strait no later than July 10, 1826. The narrative contains extensive accounts of his layovers at San Francisco, Monterey, Honolulu, and Okinawa. An important aspect of the narrative is Beechey's stop at Pitcairn Island, where he interviewed one of the last survivors, John Adams, from the Mutiny on the Bounty. Although the expedition missed Franklin by short distance and Parry never made it close, much important scientific research was done during the trip. The book was published in two formats, both octavo and quarto. The volume appears as a single volume with two title pages for as two separate volumes. This quarto issue is referred to as the Admiralty issue and is the preferred format. George Back's Great Fish River Narrative was published in 1836, also in a Quarto Admiralty issue to match. A very nice superior example.
No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. The preferred large-paper Admiralty issue of Beechey's famous account, including a description of California. This narrative offers an extensive account of exploration of the Pacific Northwest coast from Alaska to California, including important descriptions of Alaskan Eskimos, Monterey, San Francisco and several Pacific islands, including Hawaii. In 1825, Frederick William Beechey was given command of HMS Blossom, assigned to sail around Cape Horn to the Bering Strait, where he was to provide support for two expeditions seeking the Northwest Passage one under the command of William Parry and the other under the command of John Franklin. Neither Parry nor Franklin completed their journey. Franklin s journey got trapped near Beechey Island, which Beechey himself had named for his father, when serving as a Lieutenant under William Parry, in Parry s 1819 voyage through the Parry Strait. In his journey, Beechey explored the west coast of North America extensively, as well as many Pacific Islands. His travelogue discussed his voyages in detail. It includes descriptions of California, including visits to Monterey and two visits to San Francisco, at that time a Mexican possession with two main establishments, the Mission San Francisco de Asis (Mission Dolores), and the Presidio fort near the tip of the peninsula. (The settlement of Yerba Buena, which would become the downtown of today s San Francisco, would not be established until 1835.) His travelogue also includes descriptions of the Eskimos he met, as well as his visits to the Tuamotu Archipelago, the Society Islands and Tahiti, Alaska, Hawaii, Macao, Okinawa, and to Pitcairn Island, where he met the last survivor of the mutiny on the HMS Bounty, John Adams, who told Beechey his story, which Beechey recorded.

Ferguson, 1418; Hill, p.19, Lada-Mocarski, 95.H.M.S. Blossom was commissioned by the Admiralty as a relief expedition to the Bering Strait to await the expeditions of Captain Parry and Franklin on their search for a Northwest passage. Beechey was also instructed to explore those areas of the Pacific on his route and to reach Bering Strait no later than July 10, 1826.The ship visited Easter Island, Pitcairn, and the Mangareva Islands(on which Beechey was the first European to land), sailed through the Tuamotus, reached Tahiti and made a short stop in Hawaii. At Kamchatka Beechey learned of Parry's return, and spent July to October in Kotzebue Sound, tragically missing Franklin near Point Barrow, Alaska, by fifty leagues. The next year he continued his expedition of the Arctic, entering Kotzebue Sound from the west. The narrative contains extensive accounts of his stops at San Francisco, Monterey, Honolulu, and Okinawa.One of the most important aspects of the book is that Beechey describes the stop at Pitcairn Island, and published the detailed description of the mutiny of the Bounty that was told to him by John Adams, the last of the survivors.

Second edition published after quarto edition of the same year. Frederick William Beechey (17 February 1796 ¿ 29 November 1856) was an English naval officer and geographer. He was the son of Sir William Beechey RA, and was born in London. 1806 he entered the Royal Navy, and saw active service during the wars with France and America. In 1818 he served under Lieutenant (afterwards Sir) John Franklin in David Buchan's Arctic expedition, of which at a later period he published a narrative. In the following year he accompanied Lieutenant W. E. Parry in HMS Hecla. In 1821 he took part in the survey of the Mediterranean coast of Africa under the direction of Captain, afterwards Admiral, William Henry Smyth. He and his brother Henry William Beechey, made an overland survey of this coast and published a full account of their work in 1828 under the title of Proceedings of the Expedition to Explore the Northern Coast of Africa from Tripoly Eastward in 1821-1822. In 1825, Beechey was appointed to command the HMS Blossom. His task was to explore the Bering Strait in concert with Franklin and Parry operating from the east. In the summer of 1826, he passed the strait and a barge from his ship reached 71°23'31" N., and 156°21'30" W. near Point Barrow which he named, a point only 146 miles west of that reached by Franklin's expedition from the Mackenzie river. The whole voyage lasted more than three years and in the course of it Beechey discovered several islands in the Pacific, and an excellent harbor near Cape Prince of Wales. In July 1826, he named the three islands in the Bering Strait. Two were the Diomede Islands that Vitus Bering had named in 1728: "Ratmanoff Island" (Big Diomede) and "Krusenstern Island" (Little Diomede). Beechey called the uninhabited third islet "Fairway Rock", which is still its contemporary name. One of his crew, Petty Officer John Bechervaise, gave a detailed account of the voyage in his Thirty Six Years if a Seafaring Life by an Old Quartermaster, published privately in 1839. In 1831 there appeared his Narrative of a Voyage to the Pacific and Beering's Strait to Co-operate with the Polar Expeditions, 1825-1828. In 1835, and the following year Captain Beechey was employed on the coast survey of South America, and from 1837 to 1847, carried on the same work along the Irish coasts. He was appointed in 1850 to preside over the Marine Department of the Board of Trade. In 1854, he was made rear-admiral, and in the following year was elected president of the Royal Geographical Society. Beechey Island, where Sir John Franklin wintered, is named after him.

"Beechey's expedition went to the Bering Strait "As a relief expedition to await the separate expeditions of Captains Franklin and Parry." Beechey heard at Kamchatka that Parry had turned back, but he waited at Kotzebue Sound for Franklin through the Summers of 1827-8. "Near Point Barrow, Alaska, Beechey and Franklin had arrived within fifty leagues of each other, when the latter was compelled by the weather to turn back." Also described are visits to Pitcairn Island, Tahiti, Alaska, Hawaii, Macao, Okinawa, and the coast of California. On Pitcairn, Beechey met the last survivor of the Bounty mutiny, John Adams. "He also gives an important account of Monterey and San Francisco before the American conquest." Beechey rose to Rear-Admiral, and between 1836-47 undertook a survey of the coast of Ireland. "From 1850 until his death he was superintendent of the marine department of the Board of Trade; he was consulted on all Arctic issues, including the search for Sir John Franklin by the Arctic council In 1855 he was elected president of the Royal Geographical Society, an office which he still held at his death, on 29 November 1856 Beechey was an outstanding professional hydrographer who served in the last years of heroic endeavour, and lived to publish the results of his scientific observations on tides" (ODNB) Arctic Bibliography 1227; Field 105; Hill 93; Howes B-309; Lada-Mocarski 95; Sabin 4347; Wickersham 6541.
