Chapter I: Front Matter

Transcriber’s Note

Author’s name [Richard Mayde] supplied by the transcriber.

In some chapters, there are very few paragraph breaks therefore the illustrations have been positioned as close as possible to their original position in the book.

There are 18 illustrations within the book without accompanying captions, so I have used the individual captions from the Table of Illustrations and have placed them beneath each illustration.

I have retained the title ‘Greenlanders’ in the Table of Illustrations page 67, plus retained the illustration title as quoted in the body of the book as, ‘A Young Man. A Young Woman’.

Page 54: The word ‘they’ has been added to the sentence. ....the danger would be greatest, they made with their dogs....
