The Story of Exploration Series:
The Siege of the South Pole. The story of Antarctic Exploration. Dr. H. R. Mill, LL.D., D.Sc. With over Seventy Illustrations from Photographs, Charts and Drawings; and a large Coloured Map by J. G. Bartholomew.
“Dr. Mill writes with spirit as well as erudition; and his book is not only a larger monument of learning, but also a more entertaining composition than the works on the same topic of Herr Fricker and Mr. Balch.”—The Times.
“The author is a man of science who has the rare gift of making difficult things clear to the unscientific mind, and nothing could be better than his explanations of the importance of observations in the Antarctic to a true theory of terrestrial magnetism.... The accounts of most of the earlier voyages are out of print and only to be found in great libraries; and Dr. Mill has done excellent services by relating these voyages in detail, and illustrating them copiously by maps and engravings.”—The Athenæum.
“The present volume is a triumphant demonstration of his literary insight and skill, for while making no sacrifice of scientific accuracy, he has produced a narrative of Antarctic exploration which will fascinate the intelligent schoolboy as sure as it will instruct the serious student of Polar exploration.”—Morning Post.
Further India. Being the Story of Exploration from the Earliest Times in Burma, Malaya, Siam and Indo-China. Hugh Clifford, C.M.G., Author of “In Court and Kampong,” “Studies in Brown Humanity,” etc., etc. With Forty-eight Illustrations from Drawings, Photographs and Maps; and two large Maps in Colour by J. G. Bartholomew.
“Those who desire to gain a better knowledge of the past and present history of exploration in India cannot do better than read this excellent book.”—The Field.
“All that has been written and published Mr. Clifford has industriously examined and collated, and he has arranged it in consecutive narratives, abounding in dramatic episodes or exciting incidents. The story is as intricate as it is interesting.”—The Westminster Gazette.
“Another volume in this most excellent series. Mr. Clifford has produced a thoroughly readable, trustworthy and fascinating book, well indexed and well illustrated.”—The Academy.
The St. Lawrence Basin and its Borderlands. Dr. S. E. Dawson, Litt.D., F.R.S.C. With Forty-eight Illustrations from Drawings and Photographs; and a large Coloured Map by J. G. Bartholomew.
