Неге а ehort summary of the results of the author's investigation of 

 the \vesternmost , partly Eskimo, languages lUnalaska, Kadiak, 

 Aleuts, Koloshian), '«hich he has described in detail in Russian 

 in five works published in the jears 1840 — 184^6 (printed in St. Peters- 

 burg). 



'"La Gramuiaire aléoute de Véniaviinov est une des meilleures 

 monographies qiiil m'ait été donné d'étudier'" (V. Henry, 1879, 

 cf. below). 



47. Samuel Kleinschmidt: Grammatik der grönländischen 

 spräche mit theihveisem einsclüuss des Labradordialects. 

 Berlin 1851. 



In the preface, the author states that his object is to free the Greenlandic 

 grammar "гон den auforität des lateinisihen ah alleinigen sprach- 

 musters .... und sollte daher der wesentlichste unterschied zwischen 

 jenen früheren grammutiken und der gegenwärtigen darin bestehen, 

 dass der ausgatigspunkt, statt bei jenen europäisch, hei dieser grön- 

 ländisch ist.'' 



This is a very elaborate л\огк and is characterized both by the 

 author's grammatical acuteness and his delicate appreciation of the 

 idios>ncracies of the language. It contains a great deal of new informa- 

 tion, partly new points nf view, and many good, instructive examples 

 with appended translations. The style is rather heavy, often philo- 

 sophical, no doubt influenced b> contemporary German philologv. — 

 The new orthography introduced by Kleinschmidt, which has been 

 adopted in the Greenlandic literature, will be discussed in another 

 place. Portrait and some information about him is to be found in 

 "Meddelelser om Grönland" Vol. 8, p. 87.
