due to the lack of knowledge of the text copyists. The
first separate printing of this work was done by Froben
at Basel in 1519 (Bezzel 1212) as an independent
work. Through the years probably altogether a total of
eight editions appeared as listed by most of the bibliographers.
Numerous excerpts and vernacular versions
circulated later. – Some little wormholes in the last 30
leaves, some spots, otherwise with wide margins, and
still a good copy. – VD 16 E 3096; Adams E-891; Vander

Ad I: First edition of Franklin’s first expedition, also
known as the Coppermine Expedition, intended to
survey the western shore of the great inland seas. This
expedition started from the shores of Hudson’s Bay,
to explore the Northern Coasts of America. A total of
5000 miles were to be travelled on foot and canoe. A series
of misfortunes lead to the expedition turning into a
failure. Essential boats were lost, the winters were especially
harsh and a shortage in food and supplies lead to
disaster. On the brink of starvation there were rumours
of cannibalism, a murder and an execution, only 8 men
out of nineteen survived the ordeal. Nevertheless the
work by Franklin “is an invaluable one for the history
of the discovery of the regions and for the interesting
descriptions and details of the many tribes of Indians
and Esquimaux met with” (Stevens 1706). The story of
the Coppermine Expedition was to serve as an influence
on Roald Amundsen, who would eventually become
the first man to navigate the entire Northwest Passage,
as well as the first to reach the South Pole. At the age
of fifteen he read John Franklin’s account, and decided
that he wanted to be a polar explorer.
Ad II: First edition of this scientific account of Franklin’s
second overland expedition in the years 1825 to
1827. The second expedition started from New York
to Fort William in Canada, and explored northwestern
Canada to the Mackenzie delta and from there to the
unknown northern coast. This expedition was better
planned and organized than the first one. It is an
eye-witness account of the area, he expounds on the
customs, morals, and religion of the inhabitants and
includes fascinating material on the shamanism then
prevalent there. There is also much additional material,
including comparisons between Indians. It is also an
important source for the early history of Alaska and
the cartography of the area. Franklin’s last expedition
to find the northwestern passage to the Pacific in 1845
disappeared without a trace. Only recently, 170 years
later, were the two ships found and the remains of the
expedition discovered. – Sabin 38301; Lada-Mocarski,
