“We have rarely seen a more interesting volume.” —777es. 
‘So far as real knowledge of the Eskimo is concerned, all that has been written of their hab- 
its, manners, and customs before Dr Rink took the subject in hand is little better than so much 
waste paper. Here was a very interesting race waiting to be understood, and _biding its time. 
Dr Rink has been the first to do them that good office, and, like the Greek philosopher of old, 
he appears on the scene of this inquiry, compared with all before him, as a sober man amongst 
drunkards. Though his book is nominally a collection of popular tales, it contains in reality 
much more. In an elaborate introduction he treats in order of the means of subsistence of the 
Eskimo, of their language, social order, and laws; of their religion, origin, and history, and of 
the influence which contact with the Europeans has exerted onthe race. . . . As for the 
‘Tales’ themselves, they will hold their own for genuineness and truth with those of any race. 
Lessons of justice and truth are always inculcated, and often in a terrible way.”—Quarterly 
Review.
