Godthaab Seminary in South Greenland; to the colonial manager 

 Johan Petersen aud to Pastor P. Rut tel in Angmagsalik on 

 the east coast of Greenland ; to the Eskimo Pastor Tobias Mörch 

 in Upernivik and to Pastor Andreas Hansen in South Greenland; 

 likewise to the many other Danish officials and native Greenlanders 

 who hospitably opened their homes to me and guided me in their 

 arctic land and in the language of this land. 



I also want to express my gratitude to Den kongelige Grön- 

 landske Handel (The Royal Greenland Trading, Department) , on 

 whose ships I sailed to and from the distant land. The present director- 

 in-chief, Mr. Ryberg, is known as the author of a Danish-Greenlandic 

 parleur especially intended for the officials sent to Greenland by the 

 Royal Greenland Trading Department. 



The work has been translated into English by Mrs. Sophia
