Science Saturday 

This Saturday we present engravings from the 1836 Harper’s Stereotype Edition of Narrative of Discovery and Adventure in the Polar Seas and Regions: with Illustrations of Their Climate, Geology, and Natural History; and an Account of the Whale-Fishery. First published in 1830 by Oliver & Boyd (Edinburgh) and Simpkin & Marshall (London), the book was the first installment in the Edinburgh Cabinet Library, a publication series focusing on geographical works that ran from 1830 until 1844 under the editorship of Dionysius Lardner. The first American edition was published in New York by J. & J. Harper in 1831. Our 1836 copy was published a few years after J. & J. Harper’s 1833 name change to Harper & Brothers. 

The esteemed Scottish mathematician and physicist Sir John Leslie authored the first chapter (”The Climate of the Polar Regions”), geologist Robert Jameson provided a chapter on artic geology, and the remainder of the text was authored by Hugh Murray. Murray would go on to contribute to seven of the thirty-eight books in the Edinburgh Cabinet Library series. Unfortunately, there is no attribution for the wood engravings, so there is no one to thank for the delightfully bizarre rendering of marine life hanging out on land in “Whale with its Cub, Narwal, &c.” or the gathering of predator and prey depicted in “Arctic Animals” (images 7 & 8 above).
