THE THREE VOYAGES OF WILLIAM BARENTS TO THE ARCTIC REGIONS
(1594, 1595, AND 1596).
BY GERRIT DE VEER. FIRST EDITION EDITED BY CHARLES T. BEKE, Phil. D., F.S.A. 1853. Second Edition, with an Introduction, BY LIEUTENANT KOOLEMANS BEYNEN, (ROYAL NETHERLANDS NAVY).
LONDON: PRINTED FOR THE HAKLUYT SOCIETY. MDCCCLXXVI.
The Introduction to the second edition of this volume was already printed when the Arctic exploring ships, H.M.S. Alert and Discovery , returned to England, and I avail myself of this opportunity to express the feelings of admiration which the undaunted courage and perseverance displayed by its gallant crews have given rise to abroad; and to repeat, with warm enthusiasm, that “welcome-home” which is still finding expression over the whole civilised world.
The year 1876 will undoubtedly be written with golden letters in the annals of English Arctic exploring, for not only the north, but also the north-east, was the scene of English enterprise.
