PREFACE

Above all, gratitude is due to C. W. Hobley, Esq.,
C.M.G., for advice, assistance, kindly criticism and

cS

correction of the manuscript. The material has
been presented as concisely as possible, and no
reference is made to my main life-work in this land,
but I hope later on to be able to give the public
more particulars of the conversion of the Haidas

from heathendom to Christianity.
