Daines Barrington
Reissued in its 1818 second edition, these papers by two fellows of the Royal Society, Daines Barrington (1727/8–1800) and Mark Beaufoy (1764–1827), discuss Arctic exploration and evidence for the theorised open polar sea. Relying on the testimony of others, Barrington's contributions, though flawed, retain historical considerable interest.
