Rosove 1: “A fine and comprehensive review of Antarctic exploration”. This set comprises the scarce earlier volumes, and the very scarce final volume; loosely inserted also is the 8pp. pamphlet of Aagaard’s supplementary notes to the first two volumes (Rosove 1-2.A1). Aagaard’s work was severely delayed due to his opposition to the whaling industry; this attracted “the enmity of the whale barons and the press” (Rosove), who succeeded in halting publication. In the event, the second part of volume three did not appear until 1947, the final volume in 1950 - “a labor of love if ever there was one” (Rosove).
