Excerpt from The Wonders of the Arctic World: A History of All the Researches and Discoveries in the Frozen Regions of the North, From the Earliest Times The interest in the history of Arctic adventure created by the various expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin, has been wonderfully increased, of late, by the deeply interesting narrative of Dr. Kane. Presented to the public in two elegant volumes, and embellished with some three hundred engravings and wood-cuts, conveying new and striking illustra tions of the characteristics of Arctic scenery, this work is at once an honor to the American press and to the much-lamented author, who exhibited the rare union of those Caesar-like gifts which make both the successful man of action and the skilful historian. To Messrs. Childs Peterson, of Phila delphia, the liberal publishers, we are indebted for the wood-cuts which illustrate that chapter in the present work devoted to Kane's expedition.
