As new. xii pp., (1 blank l.), 333 pp.; xv, 393 pp., black-and-white illustrations and maps. *** Accounts of two expeditions that changed British perceptions of the Hudson Bay and its hinterland. In the summer of 1742 Christopher Middleton sailed farther north in Hudson Bay than any previous European, but failed to find a Northwest Passage. He was accused of negligence and corruption, generating a mass of pamphlets and manuscripts which are presented here, along with Middleton's own journal. William Moor and Francis Smith were sent four years later on a privately financed expedition to seek the Passage; the second volume presents a multitude of different accounts of and reactions to that expedition.***.
