Riassunto

Excerpt from In the Lena Delta: A Narrative of the Search for De Long and His Companions; Followed by an Account of the Greely Relief Expedition; And Proposed Method of Reaching the North Pole

As to the rest, I refer the reader to the theory itself, merely observing that Prejudice, which man pre tends to hate, is, according to Carlyle, his absolute lawgiver. Thus, let but a rising of the sun, let but a creation of the world, happen twice, and it ceases to be marvelous, to be noteworthy or noticeable.

In other words, let but Chief Engineer Melville reach the North Pole, and besides the scientific benefits issuing from the event will doubtless be another and perhaps more important one to the world at large - his success.
