This study is a preparation to incorporate into scientific knowledge part of that unknown and mysterious land which now shows us only its highest peaks - Clairvoyance, Telepathy, E.S.P., and a few unclassified aspects of the drug experience - floating above the mist and ground fog, their exact dimensions occult in the purple haze. The value of each extension of the frontiers of knowledge is comparable to that of the discovery of a new continent to explore, conquer and cultivate. If we find that the mystery, beauty and romance of the Unknown have vanished, we need not weep for them: We will again find these Gypsies camped beyond the next range of hills . . . if we are young and adventurous enough to follow them.

"Dr. Elmslie, who with his devoted wife has just sailed for Africa to begin his third term of service, vividly pictures the lofty plateau of Ngoniland, with its native villages and the dark background of vice and cruelty which lies behind the village life, with the horrors of the slave trade which harried peaceful homes, leaving the smoking ruins, while the inmates were massacred, or reserved for a more cruel fate, and how their perils drove the people to live in swamps or inaccessible rocks. The first advance of the missionaries to Ngoniland was in 1878 in the face of much personal danger. The first interviews with Mombera and his bloodthirsty chiefs, picture not only the danger of the situation, but the faith, courage, and tact of the men who, taking their life in their hands, went as ambassadors of Christ to these bloodstained savages."

The Fraser's story is that of British Columbia and its peole, and Mr. Hutchison shows that it provides some of the richest yet least known chapters in Canadian history. These he unrolls in an unforgettable panorama, from the days of Spanish discovery to the story of the city of Vancouver, the river's most remarkable product. In its gold, its steamboating, its fur; as a fisherman's paradise, and as the largest untapped source of electrical power in North America - the story of the Fraser is one of colour and high drama. It is exciting reading. Item #1370

Mr. Mowat tells the story of the People, the Ihalmiut, with pathos, humor and a consuming passion for his subject. In superb, lyrical prose he writes of their way of life, their history and their folk ways. . . . ."The emphasis throughout the book is on the strength and frailties of a people I have known and loved," writes Farley Mowat. "I have tried to present all the aspects of my people's lives as they must be seen - through the eyes which are not the aloof and probing instruments of men surveying an inferior species, but which have abandoned - as far as this is possible - preconceived standards of measurement. It is impossible for me to see with the eyes of an Eskimo. But I believe I have been able to see the People with eyes that do not belong to an 'outlander' either. This is a labor of love, and a small repayment to a race that gave me renewed faith in myself and in all men." Item #337

Written for the ministers and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church: "The life of a missionary, in a wild and uncultivated field, is far from being monotonous. He is constantly brought into contact with extremes. His life is often a checkered scene not all made up of thorns, not all of clouds and storms. The cheerful sunlight often breaks in upon his path. Hardship itself imparts a power of endurance not a gift of nature, enabling its possessor to frown down formidable obstacles. It is often the lot of missionaries to wade through the deepest trials and experience the greatest consolations. The sketches given in the following narrative, it is hoped, may not prove entirely uninteresting to the indulgent reader. Often it is the case that, in new and unsettled portions of the country, the travels and labors of missionaries form an important link in its after history. And without these, the history of the Church can not be fairly written' and unless the missionary make the record it is not likely to be made by others. Indeed, in many instances, none but he can make it." Item #1204
