Remarks On The Account Of The Late Voyage Of Discovery To Baffin�������s Bay, Published By Captain J. Ross (1819) is a book written by Edward Sabine. The book is a critique of the account of the voyage of discovery to Baffin�������s Bay, which was published by Captain J. Ross. The voyage was undertaken by the British Royal Navy in 1818, with the aim of exploring the Arctic region and finding a northwest passage to Asia. Sabine, a British astronomer and geophysicist, was a member of the expedition and had accompanied Ross on the voyage. In his book, Sabine provides a detailed analysis of Ross�������s account of the voyage, pointing out various errors and inconsistencies. He also provides his own observations and insights into the voyage, and offers suggestions for future expeditions to the Arctic.The book is divided into several chapters, each dealing with a different aspect of the voyage. Sabine discusses the geography and geology of the region, the climate and weather conditions, the flora and fauna, and the behavior of the indigenous people. He also provides a detailed account of the scientific experiments and observations conducted during the voyage, including measurements of the earth�������s magnetic field, the temperature of the ocean, and the movement of ice floes.Overall, Remarks On The Account Of The Late Voyage Of Discovery To Baffin�������s Bay, Published By Captain J. Ross (1819) is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the early exploration of the Arctic region. Sabine�������s critique of Ross�������s account is a reminder of the importance of accurate reporting and scientific observation in the pursuit of knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
