REVIEWS. 293 



Sir John Franklin, the discovery of his fate, after forty 

 years' silence, now made public. Crown 8vo, pp. xvi. — 320. (London : 

 Bemrose and Co.) 



We have but little to add to our former notice of this book ; the whole 

 matter is beyond our comprehension. The present volume contains a supple- 

 ment in which is given certain letters, written by Lady Franklin and Miss 

 Cracroft. The style of writing adopted by the reverend author partakes too 

 much of the character of the " showman," and to our mind is not so convincing 

 as it would have been if written in a less positive style. We fail to see the 

 necessity for the forty years' silence. Forty years ago the facts could have been 

 easily proved ; now it is only aged people who can possibly have any positive 

 knowledge of these events.
