This is a narrative of one of many searches for Sir John Franklin who disappeared, along with his ships and crew, on an Arctic expedition in 1845. (In the end, there were more lives lost in looking for Franklin than in the expedition itself.) This particular "summer" search was conducted by Commander E.A. Inglefield with the blessing of Lady Franklin. It is written in a particularly engaging and informative style and begins at the beginning--i.e. with the acquisition of a ship appropriate to the purpose. Though the search was ultimately unsuccessful, Inglefield's account is a fascinating record of travel in the Arctic.

First published in 1853, this work recounts an unsuccessful expedition to find the missing Franklin expedition. Following the disappearance of Sir John Franklin and his crew during a mission to find the North-West Passage, the Admiralty organised numerous searches for the missing men. The naval officer Edward Inglefield (1820–94) sailed to the Arctic in the summer of 1852 in command of the Isabel, a steamer donated by Lady Franklin on the condition that it was used to search for her husband. First published in 1853, Inglefield's account of the voyage is accompanied by a number of illustrations. The work also includes appendices listing the flowering plants and algae of the Arctic region as noted by the botanist George Dickie (1812–82), geographical and meteorological information collected by expedition surgeon Peter Sutherland (1822–1900), and Inglefield's correspondence with the Admiralty.
