An Earnest Appeal To The British Public On Behalf Of The Missing Arctic Expedition is a book written by Bedford Clapperton T. Pim in 1857. The book is a plea to the British public to aid in the search for the missing Arctic expedition led by Sir John Franklin. The expedition had set out in 1845 to explore the Northwest Passage, but had not been heard from since 1847. Pim, who had himself been part of an earlier search mission, argued that the British government had not done enough to locate the missing expedition, and that it was the duty of the public to contribute to the search effort. The book includes detailed accounts of the earlier search missions, as well as descriptions of the Arctic landscape and the challenges faced by explorers in the region. It also includes Pim's own theories about the fate of the missing expedition, which he believed had become stranded in the ice and eventually perished. The book was well-received and helped to raise public awareness of the search for Franklin and his crew.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
