fruit and flowers in high relief, bore the fol¬ 
lowing message: “I thought you might be 
interested in a kodak picture of the silver 
box used by Hans Egede in Greenland for 
the Holy Communion. The back is engraved 
with the names of the different owners. My 
mother inherited the box from her father. 
Hans Egede was his great-great-grand¬ 
father.”

We Regret 
Owing to the impracticability of sending 
proofs across the water and the imperfect 
acquaintance of our contributors abroad with 
the American author’s friend, the typewriter, 
several serious misprints occurred in the 
Greenland Number. On pages 680 and 684 
the name Ammassalik was incorrectly spelled 
as also on page 684 the name Avangnamio. 
On page 681 we should read “the bishop of 
Sjaelland” (not Iceland) and on page 684 
“Jonathan Petersen” (not Thomas Petersen). 
Brief Notes 
In the America’s Making Exposition re¬ 
cently held at the 71st Regiment Armory, 
New \ ork, the Northern countries were wor¬ 
thily represented, both by exhibits and on 
the programme. A permanent and convenient 
record of their contributions to their adopted 
country is now to be found briefly set down 
in the books and pamphlets issued by each 
national group on this occasion. Icelanders 
in the United States from the discovery of 
America by Leifur Eriksson to the Present 
by John G. Holme tells, as the name implies, 
the tale of Iceland’s connection with America 
from the first written chronicle of the viking 
discoveries in the works of Adam of Bremen 
followed by the saga narratives, down to the 
October recall election in North Dakota, 
which placed Sveinbjorn Johnson, of Ice¬ 
landic descent, in the office of Attorney Gen¬ 
eral of the State. Swedish Contributions to 
American National Life, 1638-1921, by 
Amandus Johnson, concisely outlines the his- 
tory, colonization, and characteristics of the 
Swedes, their manifold and significant activi¬ 
ties in the most varied fields of material, intel¬ 
lectual, and artistic endeavor. The part Nor¬ 
way has played in the upbuilding of America 
is ably presented in Norwegian Immigrant 
Contributions to America’s Making, edited by 
Harry Sundby-Hansen. A book on the Dan¬ 
ish contribution is, we understand, in the 
hands of a Danish committee and soon to be 
published. 
Gustaf Uddgren’s Strindberg the Man has 
been translated from the Swedish by Axel 
Johan Uppvall and published by the Four 
Seas Company, Boston. It is the story of 
Strindberg from his first dramas of revolt 
to his last messages from the Blue Tower, 
where he spent his declining years, and pre¬ 
sents an intimate picture and keen analysis 
by one who championed his cause from the 
time of his earliest literary production, one 
who possessed a sympathetic understanding 
of the problems with which he struggled. Of 
great interest are the accounts of interviews 
with Strindberg in Germany, France, and 
Sweden. A bibliography of his works adds 
to the value of the volume.
