The H.M.S. Investigator spent the years 1850 4 in the Western
Arctic engaged in a search for the lost expedition of the explorer
Sir John Franklin. In this 1857 publication Alexander Armstrong
(1818 99), surgeon and naturalist to the ship, gives a first-hand
account of life on board during the voyage, as testimony to the
'heroism, devotion, and endurance' of his shipmates. He describes
the harsh conditions that the crew had to endure, and argues
convincingly that no travel 'more thoroughly tests man's powers of
endurance, both morally and physically' than travelling in the
Arctic. He also notes that lemon juice proved the most effective
remedy against scurvy. Armstrong's natural history research was cut
short when the ship was abandoned and his collections left behind,
but he includes an appendix listing the animals and birds observed
on the voyage, and the Arctic plants collected by a friend and
colleague.

Although there have been other studies of elite administrators in
France, Great Britain, Germany, and Russia, John Armstrong has made
the first systematic comparison of their roles, especially their
inclination to participate in economic development. Drawing on role
theory and theories of socialization and recruitment, he analyzes
the influences that family, secondary school, specialized
university instruction, and in-service experiences have had on
administrators. Currents of ideas, class concepts of appropriate
role behavior, and organizational peculiarities are also examined
as possible influences. By exploring this subject over a long
period--in some cases reaching as far back as the seventeenth
century--this book shows how changing definitions of
administrators' roles reflect their position in society and permit
the exploration of changing socialization processes. The long time
span also shows how factors such as administrative intervention can
change from being marginally important to crucial in affecting
economic growth. From the diverse European experience the author
distills five factors which he hypothesizes have exerted a constant
positive influence on administrative intervention in economic
development, and suggests how these factors might be applied in
analysis of other societies. He also provides a wealth of
statistical data and an extensive bibliography. Originally
published in 1973. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
