Maritime Mus. 805; Howgego P82; Hill 1351: "First edition of the official account written by Captain Phipps, later Lord Mulgrave. This expedition of the Racehorse and Carcass, undertaken for the purpose of discovering a route to India through the northern polar regions, was blocked by pack ice north of Spitsbergen. The valuable appendix gives geographical and meteorological observations, zoological and botanical records, accounts of the destillation of fresh water from the sea, and astronomical observations. The voyage is perhaps best remembered for the presence of young Horatio Nelson, as midshipman aboard the Carcass, and his encounter with a polar bear", Henze IV, p.105f: "(...) Dagegen leitete Phipps die wissenschaftliche Erforschung des hohen Nordarchipels ein durch systematische hydrographisch-physikalische Messungen. Die Ergebnisse, vereinigt in einem umfangreichen Appendix seines Reisewerks - von 253 Seiten 177 ausmachend - bestanden in Beobachtungen der magnetischen Variation, der Refraktion, des Pendels, der Temperatur des Wassers verschiedener Tiefen durch den Schiffsartz Dr. Charles Irving, in wiederholten Sondierungen, wie auch in naturwissenschaftlichen Sammlungen und Beschreibungen, u.a. die des Polarbären.

Henze III, p.610: "Als erste literarische Hauptfrucht der langen Reise veröffentlichte er in 1772 die Beschreibung von Arabien, ein Werk klassischen Gepräges, das mehr Stoff darbrachte als alle früheren europäischen Werke zusammengenommen; hinzu kam, daß es großenteils auf Autopsie basierte. N. hielt sich fern von jeder Kompilation nach anderen Autoren und trug nur vor, was er selbst beobachtet und gesammelt hatte".
