Volume I of Voyages to Hudson Bay in Search of a Northwest

Passage described the naval discovery expedition of

Christopher Middleton in 1741-2, and the controversy which

followed his failure to find a Northwest Passage. This second

volume deals with the privately-financed expedition sent four

years later on the same quest, commanded by William Moore

and Francis Smith. Once more, Arthur Dobbs was the prime

mover, and once more he was to be disappointed by the

outcome. Quarrelsome captains, tensions during the wintering

at York factory, confused explorations, and rival accounts,

made a mockery of the hopes of Dobbs and his associates.

After the return of the expeditions, the attention of its sponsors

turned to a direct attack on the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay

Company. Although the Northwest Passage continued to be

used as a weapon against the Company, the question of its

existence slipped from centre-stage to the wings. Once again,

there is a wealth of material concerning the voyage: printed

accounts by Henry Ellis and the mysterious 'Clerk of the

California' a manuscript journal by Francis Smith and the

journal, letters and 'Observations' of James Isham, The

Hudson's Bay Company factor at York. The volume also

includes extracts from private and official correspondence,

parliamentary papers, and contemporary pamphlets. Appendix

I investigates the apocryphal voyage of Admiral De Fonte: and

Appendix II contains a critical analysis of the different accounts

of the expedition. Whatever else the expeditions of 1741-2 and

1746-7 accomplished, the publicity given to their explorations

brought a greatly increased interest in Hudson Bay and its

hinterland. This interest was not always accompanied by

accurate and dispassionate information. Even so, a

comparison of the knowledge available about the geography,


trade and native inhabitants of the Bay area at the time of the

Parliamentary enquiry of 1749 with the situation before

Middleton's voyage represents a breakthrough in British

perceptions of the Canadian sub-Arctic.
