Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
This survey of native languages in the Arctic includes the Soviet North, Alaska, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Greenland and Scandinavia, with maps and charts of distribution and relationships of the various language groups.
Excerpt from Bibliography of the Eskimo Language For a succinct statement of the order and date of publication the reader is referred to the chronologic index at the end of the bibliography. The best collection of Eskimo texts I have met with is that of Major Powell, of Washington; the second, perhaps, that in the library of the British Museum. The best collection of Arctic literature is that in the British Museum; the second, that in the Library of Congress.
