Excerpt from The Sea of Ice: Or the Arctic Adventurers No work ever was published which has proved so delightful as Robinson Crusoe. Naturally enough, there have been many imitations of so pleasing a production, such as the Swiss Family Robinson, the Robinson Chretien, and others. We make no apology for having conceived and carried out another version, which, though owing its idea to the works above-mentioned, is original in its scene and most of its events. The phenomena of the north have been fully and correctly described on the very best and latest authority. The places de Ucribed are those visited wy Parry and Franklin.
