About this eBook

Author Scoresby, William, 1789-1857
Title The northern whale-fishery
Original Publication United Kingdom: The Religious Tract Society,1849.
Note Abridgement of volume 1: #69389.
Note [A]n abridgment, with some modifications and additions, of the second volume of captain (now the rev. Dr.) Scoresby’s work on the Arctic Regions and Whale-fishery, Edinburgh, 1820; the substance of the former volume having already appeared in this Monthly Series. The second chapter of the work, on the comparative view of the whale-fisheries of different European nations, has been entirely omitted, as less interesting, it is supposed, to the general reader, than the other chapters.--Preface
