Note 138 — Chapter XXXI · SPITSBERGEN EXPEDITIONS BEFORE 1872
Reading edition
At my request the late Commodore Jansen searched the Dutch archives, and wrote an admirable memoir on the ice years in the Novaya Zemlya and Spitsbergen Seas, with notices of the chief Dutch voyages and discoveries. The same accomplished officer was the author of the chapter on Land and Sea Breezes in Maury’s Physical Geography of the Sea.
