The year 1819proved to be exceptionallyice-free and Parry was ablet o penet r at e t hr oughLancaster Sound and Barr-ow Strait to Melville Isl-and, into the heart of theArctic, much further than had been r eached pr e-viously. The ships success-fully wintered on the southcoast of Melville Island, thefirst to intentionally do so,and r eturned in 1820. Inone season he had penet-rated halfway t o Bering

Strait and had charted over a thousand miles of unknowncoast. In doing so he demonstrated that an Arctic wintercould be endured in safety if not comfort, and set the patternfor arctic expeditions for a generation to come. Parry madetwo further attempts at the North-West Passage. In 1827 hetried to reach the North Pole and set a new northern recordwhich stood until 1876.

T.P.L. 2424. Lande 2310. Waterstonp69. Bartlett was an accomplished artistof the English landscape school of hisday. He met t he taste of his time bycombining topographical sketches with ar omant ic mood. The tw o volumesinclude many remarkably dramaticsketches: a storm sweeping over thetimber r aft s on Lake St . Peter; theawesome rapids on approach t o t hevillage of Cedars; or a distant view of thelake beneath Owl's Head Mountain inthe Eastern Townships. He was equallyadept in cr eat ing t he mood of vasttranquillity in a popularized Turner-esque manner. Tremendous landscapes,often in a setting sun, met this taste, aswhen he drew Lily Lake at Saint John, ora scene on t he St . Law r ence near


Montreal. From the historical point of view his work is bothinteresting and valuable... There is an endless charm toseeing Ottawa (then Bytown) as nothing more than Col. By'sCanal with a few houses on the hill, or the Montreal waterfront with its sailing ships, or the view from Mount Royal,showing the broad farmlands between the mountain andthe city.

Lande 461. T.P.L. 1974, Sabin 33826, WilliamAlexander (1567?- (1640), a British poet born in Scotland,was a tutor to Prince Henry of Scotland and was invited toEngland on the invitation of James I of England, upon thelatter's accession to the English throne. In 1621, he wasgranted tracts of land in Nova Scotia ("New Scotland") andhis holdings in America were increased substantiallythrough a grant by Charles I of land encompassing a majorpart of what in now the northeastern portion of the UnitedStates. He became Viscount Stirling in 1630 and Earl ofStirling in 1633. The titles lapsed in 1739 when the last earldied without issue, and the tracts of land had been ceded toFrance. William Alexander, Revolutionary War hero, andself-styled Earl of Stirling, asserted his claim to the title of

"Sixth Earl of Stirling"; although the claim was never upheldby the House of Lords, he was in fact referred to as LordStirling throughout his life. The subject of the present work,grandson of the latter William Alexander through his mother,again lays claim to the earldom, and here presents manycharters and affidavits relating to his family's punative NovaScotia claims.

Preston's first impressions were gained under unfortunatecircumstances. He arrived at Quebec in February 1827, wasin Montreal during the riot that precipitated the rebellion inthat province, and reached Kingston during the height of theexcitement over the outbreak in Toronto under WilliamLyon Mackenzie. For the rest of his stay he was employed inToronto. His bias appears in his criticism of the ‘stagnant'British colonies as compared to the vigorous life of theUnited States, while the emergence of vigorous qualitiesamong the second generation of Canadians is deprecated onthe ground that young Canadians would be far betteremployed in agriculture or business than in over-crowdingthe professions and becoming competitors for publicemployment. It was Preston's view that Toronto society waspretentious. (Story).

Because of the placeand date on the back, theobvious conclusion is thatGeneral Tom Thumb, oneof Barnum and Bailey mostfamous personage, appear-ed in Ottawa, 1883.

I viewed many ofthese cards preparing thisentry and while the posesand dress are all similarthere was none with thisdress.

His name was Char-les Sher w ood Stratt on(1838-1883) & his wife wasLavinia War r en (1841-1919). Under Barnum heachieved world fame and financial success. In fact, latter on,when Barnum & Bailey were in financial trouble, he bailedthem out and became a part.
