Excerpt from Narrative of the Voyage of H. M.S. Herald, Vol. 1 of 2: During the Years 1845-51, Under the Command of Captain Henry Kellett, R. N., C. B.; Being a Circumnavigation of the Globe, and Three Cruizes to the Arctic Regions in Search of Sir John Franklin Commander of the expedition; but as Captain Kellett was called upon to renew the search for Sir John Franklin's Expedition, and all those officers of the Herald who were either willing or able to perform the part of historian of the voyage had left these shores, I was compelled to engage in an undertaking for which I fear I was but ill qualified. 'i have commenced it the more reluctantly because I am fully aware of the difficulties. Formerly, when everything was new and striking, both to the author and the reader, an amusing and instructive work was easily written. But now, nearly every school-boy is able to give a tolerably accurate account of the most remote corners of the globe, and if a traveller wants to bring forward something new, he must dive into details which, valuable as they may be to science, are not always appreciated by the general reader.
