PREFACE.
*
The purpose of the present Volume is, in the first place, as
an introduction, to continue the conclusions, which we are able
to draw from the mode of life, the customs and usages of the
Eskimo mentioned in the former Volume, adding one apparently
safe inference from their language, concerning their homestead
before their dispersion. Then, as the main object follows the
Comparative Vocabulary of the Dialects. In the former Part
it is tried to give the elements, out of which the words
are formed, and the rules for employing this material. In the
present Volume a selection of the words themselves is compiled.
The arrangement of this Vocabulary will be found explained
pp. 23 and 113, in connection with some other editorial remarks.
There is especially rendered an account of the division into a
General and a Special Part, of which the latter is founded on
Powell’s Introduction to the study or Indian Languages, the former
on Roget’s Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases.
