Description
English: The author's account of his 1631 voyage in search of the Northwest Passage through Hudson Strait, exploring Hudson Bay and Foxe Basin. The book contains an engraved fold-out map of the author's route. The frontispiece depicts an armillary sphere.

The Globe, which forms a frontispiece, through its having been printed on the fly-sheet, is very often missing. It was evidently printed from the identical block used in [John] Davis's Seaman's Secret (Lond., 4to, 1607).
