Abstract
DR. Rink is probably the greatest living authority on all matters connected with the Greenland Eskimo. The high value of his contributions to our knowledge of Greenland and its people is universally admitted. The English reading public, and English ethnologists especially, will no doubt be grateful to him for having put his “Eskimo Tales and Traditions” into an English dress. The translation is perfectly idiomatic and altogether creditable to the author.
Tales and Traditions of the Eskimo, with a sketch of their Habits, Religion, Language, and other Peculiarities.
By Dr. Henry Rink. Translated from the Danish by the Author. Edited by Dr. Robert Brown. With numerous Illustrations drawn and engraved by Eskimo. (Edinburgh and London: Blackwood and Sons, 1875.)
