Extracts from Reviews in Recommendation of this Work, 



" Mr. Laing performed two Voyages to Greenland, in 

 the successive years of 1806 and 1807, as Surgeon, under the 

 elder Captain Scoresby ; whose son acted, at. that time, as 

 chief mate. His narrative is written with neatness, sim- 

 plicity, and taste ; and comprises, in a very small com- 

 pass, what information could be desired on the subject of 

 which it treats." 



Edinburgh Review, No. LIX. 



" Mr. Laing's sensible and unpretending Narrative of a 

 ' Voyage to Spitzbergen,' forms an admirable contrast to 

 the pompous and frothy quarto of Bernard O'Reilly, Esq."' 

 Quarterly Review, No. XXXVII. 



" In the little Volume before us, we have an interesting 

 addition made to the natural history of regions of which 

 our knowledge is as yet, comparatively speaking, but im- 

 perfect. Mr. Laing has been evidently a diligent and 

 acute observer, and communicates the fruits of his ob- 

 servation in a simple and perspicuous manner."
