In the annals of Polar discovery, no more brilliant exploit can be found than the Antarctic voyage of exploration under the command of Ernest H. Shackleton. Well conceived, well planned and well carried out, it has added to the realm of geography a vast amount of knowledge. The narrative of the journey is clear, accurate and temperate. The make-up of the book, paper, printing and illustrations, is a worthy setting for the narrative; altogether there can be nothing but praise for the efforts of the authors and the publishers.t Shackleton was a member of Captain Scott's expedition in the Discovery, and in the year I907, outlined a new expedition of his own. He succeeded in securing sufficient funds, principally through loans which he was to pay off on his return. It is pleasant to record that the British Government voted him f20,ooo after his successful journey, a sum which enabled him to clear off all his debts. He was also knighted on King Edward's birthday, showing how England rewards its own Polar discoverers
