Bilby, Julian W: AMONG UNKNOWN ESKIMO: AN ACCOUNT OF TWELVE YEARS INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH THE PRIMITIVE ESKIMO OF ICE-BOUND BAFFIN LAND, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THEIR WAYS OF LIVING, HUNTING CUSTOMS AND BELIEFS. , London: Seeley Service & Co., 1923.

1st Edition; 280pp, illustrated 23 b/w illustrations, 1 map. Blue cloth covers with gilt titling to spine. Errata slip tipped in. "His account of the customs, modes of life, and beliefs of the Central Eskimo of Baffin Land is, however, something more than a book with a merely popular appeal. A residence of twelve years among these tribes qualifies him to give ritual and belief their proper setting and perspective in the everyday round in a manner which is not always possible in an analytic study." Nature 112, 469-469 (29 September 1923). Ex SPRI Library, SPRI cancellation stamp on fep and title page, note on verso front cover. Crease to front cover, contents clean. Very Good.
