The object of this classic memoir is to furnish a general view of all the surveying and other geographical operations in India from their first commencement in order that, in reading reports of current work, ready means of reference to the previous history of each branch of the subject may be at hand. In case it is desired to follow up an enquiry into the details of any particular operation or series of operations, the references in the footnotes have been made as copious as possible.
Published posthumously in 1921, Markham's illustrated history draws on his extensive knowledge of contemporary polar explorers and expeditions.
Edited, with notes and an introduction from narratives and journals by John Gatonbe, Robert Fotherby, and others, with Baffin's letters, journals, and other observations, and various treatises on the probability of a North-West Passage.
