[*] Scott, Robert H. Voyage of the Discovery. 2v. [**]$10. Scribner.
An exhaustive account of a three year Antarctic expedition which sailed in 1901 and spent two years below the Antarctic circle, making a new farthest south record. The geographical and scientific discoveries made are given in detail, the adventures met with and the new lands, mountains, and glaciers seen, are elaborately described. For the benefit of future voyagers there is a minute account of management and equipment of the “Discovery.” The books are written by the commander of the expedition and are illustrated from photographs and sketches, many of which are in color.
[*] “Looking on the book as a whole we cannot but think that it would have gained by compression, and by a somewhat more definite marking of the main lines.”

[*] “We cordially congratulate the author and the publishers on having combined to produce a book which is in every way worthy of so remarkable an expedition.”

[*] “The freshness and novelty of the subject matter command an immediate hearing, and the charm of the narrative, the well balanced perspective, and above all the manly record of heroic endeavor here revealed bid fair to make Captain Scott’s modest account one of the classics of polar exploration.” Charles Atwood Kofoid.

[*] “Lieutenant Mulock’s maps deserve special praise for their beauty, their accuracy, and their fulness of detail, while it would be impossible to speak too highly of the 260 illustrations that are not only an adornment to the book, but enable us almost as much as does the text to realize the conditions amidst which this expedition spent over two years.”
