Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Travels of Thomas Simpson: The Arctic Discoverer
The brief sketch of my brother's life which circumstances, explained in subsequent pages, enabled me to publish along with his own narrative of Arctic Discoveries, was generally considered as but a meagre development of the history of one, in whom the world lost no common man.
