Edited, with notes and an introduction from narratives and journals by John Gatonbe, Robert Fotherby, and others, with Baffin's letters, journals, and other observations, and various treatises on the probability of a North-West Passage. This is a new print-on-demand hardback edition of the volume first published in 1881. Owing to technical constraints it has not been possible to reproduce 'The Map of Coast of Arabia and entrance to the Pendant Gulf' which appeared on p.xliii of the first edition of this volume.
