SCOTT (Capt. R.F.).
Scott's Last Expedition.

It “is sufficient to state that Scott’s eloquent prose propelled him into the realm of greatness despite his flaws. What Scott wrote at the end of his life was an inspiration in meeting death with supreme dignity, and his words entreat reading again and again” (Rosove). Arranged by Leon Huxley and with a preface by Clements Markham, this work is an account of Scott’s fatal Antarctic expedition on the Terra Nova.
