The Geographical Journal : January—June, 1908 (Royal Geographical Society), begins

with Sir Clements Markbam's Memoir of Admiral Sir Leopold McClintock. McClintock's first Arctic experience was in 1848—he was then twenty-nine—as Second Lieutenant of the 'Enterprise' under Sir James Ross in the search for Sir John Franklin. He went out again in 1850 in the Assistance,' and yet again in 1857, this time in command of Lady Franklin's expedition, and was successful. Never was a man more intelligently devoted to duty. It is good that a long life so well spent should receive its reward, /auclari a laud ato sure.
