Abstract
THESE entertaining letters were first published in 1856, and are so well known that any words of praise are unnecessary. The master of University College, Oxford, in his introduction, says:—“The letters are, or ought to be, a World's Classic; Mr. Frowde's happy enterprise has made that concept a reality.” It may be noted that the volume is the hundred and fifty-eighth to be added to the series of “The World's Classics.”
Letters from High Latitudes, being Some Account of a Voyage in 1856 in the Schooner-Yacht "Foam" to Iceland, Jan Mayen, and Spitzbergen.
By Lord Dufferin. With an introduction by Dr. R. W. Macan. Pp. xxxvi + 261. (London: Henry Frowde, Oxford University Press, 1910.) Price 1s. net.
