    Title PARRY OF THE ARCTIC: The life story of Admiral Sir Edward Parry 1790-1855.
    Publishing Information London: Chatto & Windus, 1963.
    Description 1st Edition; 240pp, illustrated, 16 pages of plates, 7maps (1 folding). Turquiose cloth covers with gilt titling to spine in illustrated unclipped dustjacket. Written by his great-great-granddaughter, this is a biography of the famous 19th century sailor and polar explorer. Parry's care for his men, his solution of many of the problems of wintering in the ice, and his meticulous scientific work set a pattern of Arctic exploration for a generation. Many of his young officers (notably James Clark Ross) went on to be famous explorers themselves. The overland explorations of his good friend John Franklin were intended to be complementary to Parry's expeditions. Shelfware, dustjacket nibbled and rubbed. Previous owners signature in pencil on fep. Cover and contents clean. Very Good.
