The Voyages of Captain Luke Foxe, of Hull, and Captain Thomas James, of Bristol, in Search of a North-West Passage, in 1631–32: Volume 1

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. Two volumes from 1884 contain accounts of the attempts by Captains James and Foxe in 1631 to find a route through Arctic waters to Asia, together with those of earlier explorers.
