    Title SOUTH LATITUDE (The Heritage of Literature Series No.86)
    Publishing Information London: Longmans,Green & Co. Ltd.,1961.
    Description 1961 Heritage of Literature Series Edition: Pocket sized book, ideal for travelling; x, 246 pages, double page map. Original covers, no dust jacket. Shelf wear, neat pencil annotations in text, minor spotting to page edges. The author was a lecturer in zoology and made this voyage with the Discovery II expedition. ''It was written in odd half-hours in the routine of a ship's work, frequently in heavy seas, with the author's typewriter lashed to the cabin table. It has the sting of the salt-spray in its pages, a purely personal account of life in the Antarctic, among the whalers in South Georgia and on board the Royal Research Ship Discovery II. We must go back to Melville's Moby Dick for anything to equal the whaling chapters.''
