The Icelanders In Canada
by W. J. Lindal was written primarily, he says, as a study of the Ice-
lander of Canada in action. The study Began in 1908, has continued
ever since, and, he finds, is even more intriguing after publication
of the book.
Mr. E. B. Weller, book publisher, of Aiken, South Carolina, has
written to the author in part as follows:
Your excellent book, The Icelanders in Canada, came
yesterday. Thank you for it. It will take an honored
place in my growing collection of very selected books
which I consider worthy of space in my library. As you
will readily appreciate, I have not been able to more
than skim through it. A careful reading is a treat in
store. That it is a masterful piece of work goes with-
out saying. Only those familiar with the constant
reading, research, reference, checking and recheck-
ing, formulation of footnotes, appendices and other
supplemental matter can have any idea of the labor
involved. Congratulations on a wonderful job
wonderfully well done!
The price of the book is $7.50 and orders should be sent to:
