Description
2 volumes. xxxvii+[2]+387+[8 ad] pages with frontispiece, woodcuts in text and 7 steel-engraved plates; vi+[2]+474 pages with frontispiece, woodcuts in texts and 10 steel-engraved plates. Royal octavo (9¼x5½") in publisher's original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt covers decorative blind stamped. First Edition.In 1825, Edward Belcher accompanied Frederick William Beechey's expedition to the Pacific and Bering Strait as a surveyor. In 1836. he commanded a surveying ship on the north and west coasts of Africa and in the British seas. Belcher took up the work which Beechey had left unfinished on the Pacific coast of South America. He was on board the bomb vessel HMS Sulphur, which was ordered to return to England in 1839 by the Trans-Pacific route. Belcher made various observations at a number of islands which he visited, having been delayed by being dispatched to take part in the war in China in 1840. On 26 January 1841, the then Commander Belcher landed on Possession Point at the north shore Hong Kong Island and made the first British survey of Hong Kong harbor. After the war's end in 1842 he reached home and for his services was made a Knight Bachelor in the following year. He was then engaged in HMS Samarang, in surveying work in the East Indies, the Philippines, Geomun-do (Port Hamilton) and other places, until 1847. In 1852 Belcher led the last and largest Admiralty expedition to rescue Sir John Franklin. He was also to look for his former surveying officer in Hong Kong, Richard Collinson, and Robert McClure, whose ships had not been seen after entering the Bering Strait. He did a great deal of sledge exploration, rescued McClure and abandoned four of his five ships in the ice. He had five ships: Assistance (Belcher), Resolute (Henry Kellett, second mate George Nares), the steam tenders Pioneer(Sherard Osborn) and Intrepid (Leopold McClintock) and the depot ship North Star (William Pullen). Belcher and one tender were to enter Wellington Channel, where Franklin was thought to be, while Kellett was to go west to Melville Island and look for Collinson and McClure. North Star was to stay at Beechey Island as a supply base. He left the Nore in April 1850. By early winter Assistanceand Pioneer were frozen in at Northumberland Sound to the north of Wellington Channel while Resolute and Intrepid were frozen in off Melville Island (Arctic)—the first ships this far west since William Edward Parry in 1819. A great deal of exploration was done by man-hauled sledges. In April 1853 Leopold McClintock and others left the Resolute on sledges and returned 105 days later, having covered 1,400 miles and discovered Prince Patrick Island. Another party went west and discovered Robert McClure, whose ship was frozen in at Mercy Bay. Belcher went north by sledge and found a channel at the northern tip of Devon Island, hinting that Franklin might have used it to escape to Baffin Bay. When the ice broke up that summer, he pushed his ships up Wellington Channel and became trapped again. By February 1854 Belcher was becoming increasingly worried about the safety of his ships and men. In April he ordered Kellett to abandon his ships and return by sledge to North Star. Belcher abandoned his two ships in late July. Aided by two ships that showed up at Beechey Island (Phoenix and Breadalbane), the whole party returned to England. Belcher went through a court martial, which was automatic for any captain who had lost a ship. He was exonerated, but his sword was returned to him 'without observation'. He never again received an active command. Curiously Resolute broke free of the ice and drifted all the way to Davis Strait, where it was picked up by an American whaler.Condition:Some staining and wear to covers, spines a bit faded, ends chipped and worn, rear joint of Vol. I with chipping and loss; hinges repaired at endpapers, some light foxing and occasional mostly marginal damp staining within, the three folding maps which should be loose in a pocket not present; overall good, uncommon in the original cloth.

Description
two letters, quarto, 3 pages, formerly folded, some wear and repairs with archival tissue, else in good condition. The first letter discusses the election by the Pennsylvania senate of James Buchanan, the future 15th United States President, to the United States Senate: 1. "Harrisburg, Decr 15th, 1836 Jno. Macmanus Esq. Dear Sir, We have had quite a storm here for some days past which has not blown very advantageously to those who have raised it. Neither has it shaped its course towards the point at which it was anticipated it would prove most destructive, by the doings of sundrie members of Senate commonly called recreants, in non conforming to the law in relation to the election of United States senator. The election of that officer did not take place on Tuesday. From what has transpired there appears to have been an evident attempt by some of those men whose recklessness for the las two years I presume you are perfectly familiar with, to defeat totally the election of united states senator at this session. But as envy and malice always carries with them their own great punishment so in this case those men high in authority, held in violation of the wills of the people have been driven to the unenviable alternative of passing a supplement to the original law fixing the election of senator on Wednesday. This was the only refuge to which they could fly and intended for a month to cover their deep laid scheme of political depravity, But it is a covering of gauze through which all can see and just indignation of an insulted people will strip them to their last rag and expose them to the world in their own naked deformity. The democratic members of both branches had come to the fixed and unalterable determination to go into convention at the minute fixed by Law. The supplement was therefore hastily originated and passed through senate and came as hastily despatched to his exselency [sic] for his approval, in the meantime the democratic members of Senate into the House had everything in readiness in case of any failure and before the minute arrived had according to the rule sent in their committee to introduce the members of senate into the House to go into the election on the arrival of the committee in Senate consternation was conspicuously depicted in every visage of those who had been playing this game of iniquity. The democratic members of the Senate rose from their seats secured their Lots and was in the act of moving with the committee at this instant Lord clearly in breathless haste pressed through the crowd and announced to the Senate the approval and signature of his High mightiness to the bill, All further proceedings was therefore suspended until Wednesday at twelve o'clock at which time the election took place and produced the following result viz. James Buchanan 85 T.M. McKennan 24 C. B. Penrose 21 Speaker Cunningham 1 Leet 1 In conclusion I have only to add that I need scarcely write you on the above subject as I presume you have the whole matter in detail in the public journals before this time. I have not the time I should like to have to devote to my fellow citizens on many subjects, on account of being placed on several committees the duties of which are very arduous and require my whole attention late and early please write me soon In haste I remain … Jno Hasson" "Harrisburg, Feb. 12th 1843 Dear Sir, Your favor of the 7th is received. In relation to the district… I can only say that it is now impossible to tell in what shape the bill must pass. I have no idea that any bill which has been reported would become a law. The Senate amendments would have been concurred in without doubt, if they had not been postponed. Pomfret, you know, is not the best manager in the world. If it goes to a committee of conference I will have a pretty good committee and if we cannot agree will introduce a new bill which will pass, and perhaps your district will be confined to the counties of Lycoming, Clinton, Centre Clearfield and Cambria' I am not sure of this, however, but will endeavour under all circumstances to take care of your interest. We have a nice party in the house on the compromise bill, it will pass I hope by a vote of 64 votes. It will pass the Senate. Thus we go. The events which now occur are full of interest, but it requires considerable nerve General McCulloch …"
