Some of thofe perfons penetrated as far north as Jukasjervi,
and a few of them went even beyond it. It has been the com-

poffible. In the church of J ukasjervi there is a book, in which,
in imitation of Regnard who firft came to this place, they have —
had the ambition to write their names, and to fhew their talents
as men of wit. As it is a collection which fhews the genius of
the men, and of no great length, I thought I fhould not difpleafe
the reader by laying it before him.
No, I.
