P UB USHERS’ Ad vertisement. 
Having purchased the stereotype plates of the “ First 
Grinnell Expedition,” by Dr. Kane, we have improved 
it by the addition of many new illustrations, together with 
a fine steel portrait of Sir John Franklin, and a sketch of 
his life, extracted from Allibone's forthcoming Dictionary 
of Literature and Authors. 
We will hereafter issue the volume in a style to corre¬ 
spond with the present work.
