ABSTRACT WHATEVER lapse may be imputed to the London school-book of 1812, noticed by Mr. MacRitchie in NATURE of January 13, p. 647, it is not shared by the Rev. J. Goldsmith's “Geography, on a Popular Plan, Designed for the Use of Schools, and Young Persons,” in its fifth edition at the earlier date of 1808. For that author, in a very interesting account of Greenland, at p. 46 remarks that many so-called “ice islands” “are to be met with on the coasts of Spitz-bergen, to the great danger of the shipping employed in the Greenland fishery.” He further instances the peril to which “Lord Mulgrave” was thus exposed in 1772, when by an opportune rising of the wind his ships, “after labouring against the resisting fields of ice, arrived at the west end of Spitzbergen.” At this critical time, however, “Lord Mulgrave” was Capt. Phipps.
