xii PREFACE 



means at length both of reaching a larger number 

 of Eskimos and of implanting a spirit of self-reliance 

 in them through the development of a native agency. 



It only remains to be mentioned that Mr. Peck 

 has pointed out a number of errors in the spelling 

 of Eskimo names hi this volume, and he wished to 

 have these corrected. There were also two or three 

 paragraphs which he asked might be omitted from 

 a new edition of the book. It is, however, from 

 various reasons, which need not here be mentioned, 

 found impossible to make alterations at the present 

 time. 



One mistake calls for special notice. On p. 202 

 " the Rev. David Fenn " should be " the Rev. 

 C. C. Fenn." 



Opposite p. 20 a new map showing the position 

 of Ashe Inlet replaces the old one.
