Scott, R.F.
The Voyage of the "Discovery".
Scott, R.F. The Voyage of the "Discovery". John Murray, London 1905. Reprint Nov. 1905. 4to, 2 vols, 556pp 7 col. plts, 1 double page plt, 119 b&w plts, ills in text, 3 maps (&) 508pp, 6 col. plts, 4 double page plts, 124 b&w plts, 2 maps. Orig. blue boards w/ gilt title & decoration. Spence 1048. This is the 2nd impression, with the identical format & content as the 1st edition, but with cancelled title pages bearing the new imprint of John Murray, and on the versos, the information "First Edition, October, 1905; Reprinted, November, 1905". Consensus has it that the 2nd impression was of 1000 copies, 500 of which bear the Smith Elder imprint and 500 of which bear the Murray imprint. The Murray imprint has the reputation of having faded spines, which is not the case here. Slt. chipped at the head and tail of spine, o/w a very nice copy.
