1852-54 RAE AND FRANKLIN 409 



a winter course of five lectures a week for six 

 months my strength, any more than my poor friend 

 Forbes's, would carry me through a continuous 

 course during the succeeding summer months.' 



In a letter written a few days afterwards he 

 says : ' I met a very interesting party a few days 

 ago at breakfast at Sir Robert Inglis's — the new 

 President of the Royal Society, Lord Wrottesley, 

 Sir J. Herschel, Mr. Robert Brown, Captain 

 Fitzroy, Mr. Charles Darwin (who went round 

 the world with Captain F.), Dean Morier, Professor 

 Acland of Oxford, and Dr. Rae (who discovered 

 the remains of poor Sir John Franklin). We had of 

 course all the particulars of that long and earnestly 

 looked for discovery. . . . Dr. Rae pointed out 

 on a new map of the Arctic Regions exactly the 

 spot where Franklin's party lay ; and he assured 

 us that the party to be sent out by the Hudson's 

 Bay Company would arrive there next July or 

 August.'
