﻿lubbock's 
  facts 
  against 
  his

  once 
  practised 
  and 
  of 
  knowledge 
  once 
  pos- 
  

   sessed, 
  must 
  inevitably 
  have 
  arisen 
  among 
  

   tribes 
  driven 
  into 
  inhospitable 
  regions. 
  But 
  

   there 
  are 
  other 
  facts 
  also 
  referred 
  to 
  by 
  Sir 
  

   J. 
  Lubbock 
  himself, 
  which 
  show 
  that 
  there 
  

   are 
  cases 
  in 
  which 
  we 
  have 
  proof 
  of 
  this 
  

   process 
  having 
  actually 
  taken 
  place. 
  Thus, 
  

   in 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  Eskimo, 
  he 
  quotes 
  the 
  case 
  

   of 
  a 
  tribe 
  in 
  Baffin's 
  Bay 
  who 
  " 
  could 
  not 
  

   be 
  made 
  to 
  understand 
  what 
  was 
  meant 
  by 
  

   war, 
  nor 
  had 
  they 
  any 
  warlike 
  weapons."* 
  

   No 
  wonder, 
  poor 
  people 
  ! 
  They 
  had 
  been 
  

   driven 
  into 
  regions 
  where 
  no 
  stronger 
  race 
  

   could 
  desire 
  to 
  follow 
  them. 
  But 
  that 
  their 
  

   fathers 
  had 
  once 
  known 
  what 
  war 
  and 
  

   violence 
  meant, 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  more 
  conclusive
