Over the "Great Ice" 

 BY PEARY 



. . . THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK OF 1898 . . . 



A complete authentic record of Lieutenant 

 Peary's Arctic work. His first and only book 



The narrative abounds in infinite variety, as it deals 

 with land and sea, and includes descriptions of the 



Arctic Oasis and the Arctic Highlanders, the 

 latter being the most northerly human beings in their 

 habitat. The discovery and successful transportation 

 here of 



THE GREATEST KNOWN METEORITE 



weighing ninety tons, is another feature of great interest. 



" Northward " is in two volumes of about £00 pages each, 

 and contains over 8co half-tone engravings made from Peary's 

 wonderful photographs, together with valuable maps, diagrams, 

 etc., which make the work of the greatest educational value, 

 and it is almost a necessary addition to any course of general 

 reading in connection with the study of geography, ethnology, 

 or natural history 



"NORTHWARD" APPEALS TO THE YOUNG 



as well as to the old, and should be as great a favorite with the 

 boys as Dr. Kane's delightful work has been for years.
