With beautiful full-page Illustrations.

"The volume is prettily got up, and the views of Arctic scenery are about the best we have seen in any recent work of the kind.--Athenæum.

In the present well-got-up little volume, we have an account of the first voyage of the Pandora. We can heartily recommend Lieut. Innis-Lillingston's narrative-his first attempt, as he tells us, at book-writing-as giving a graphic account, in a very unpretentious style, of his most interesting, but perilous cruise. As a gift book, we can also recommend the Land of the White Bear, for it is exceedingly well illustrated, and both in letter-press and binding is in the Messrs. Giffin's usually good style."-U.S. Gazette.
