| Author(s): | Barrow, John. |

| Abstract: | Hostile review, attributed to John Barrow, of Ross's account of search for Northwest Passage. |
| Notes: | Offprint: Quarterly Review. Vol. 21(14) :213-262. In attributing the article to Barrow, Shine cites John Murray III's Register and Gentleman's Magazine XXI 578. The following evidence indicates Barrow's authorship: Gentleman's Magazine (Mar. 1844), 246-47. Murray MS., Book Loans Register: the book reviewed was sent to 'John Barrow' on 28 Jan. 1818. Barrow famously advocated exploration of the North-West Passage in the Quarterly Review and elsewhere. Articles, all of which are by Barrow, are alluded to in the article.
