worthy and possible of accomplishment, and that I
could never have content until it was done, or I had
satisfied myself that I was not the one to do it.
While it is hoped the narrative itself will not be
lacking in attractiveness, yet I feel, outside of this,
that it and the accurate and profuse illustrations, most
of which are not only “pictures,” but typical studies
of the features and objects which they represent, will
prove of pronounced educational value in showing
what the Arctic regions, with their inhabitants and
the phases of life there, are really like.
While I have endeavoured in these pages to care
fully sum up the general aspects and results of my
work, I desire it to be clearly understood that I have
made no attempt to have the data I accumulated set
forth with scientific fulness and detail.
It has been my aim to make this book worthy of,
and adapted for, the most general reading, yet at the
same time, to give it a character that may, I trust,
secure for it the attention of Arctic students and
scientific specialists.
My expeditions have gathered valuable scientific
material in ethnology, meteorology, geography, and
natural history. This material has not as yet been
digested and collated by experts. When it has, it
will be presented in monograph form.
Dependent upon the results of my coming expedi
tion, this book will clear the field for something
further, or will form the complete record of my Arctic
work.
