The journal clearly demonstrates the observant, warm hearted personality of its chronicler, an officer of the Royal Navy, a man of sensibility and courage. Its accurate descriptions and thoughtful understanding of the Eskimo people make it almost unique as an early nineteenth century document.” Enhanced with 9 full-page illustrations and 26 small illustrations of Arctic items.
