PRESS COMMENTS
[Illustration: Cover
ACROSS THE SUB-ARCTICS OF CANADA]
"A story of immense scientific value."--_Toronto Globe_.
"A most valuable contribution to the literature of the great
North-West.... Mr. Tyrrell's touches of description are
delightful."--_Victoria Times._
"As a mere record of adventure, of imminent peril and hair-breadth
escapes, of hunting polar bears, and taking a winter tramp of a thousand
miles, we know no narrative of more absorbing character."--_Methodist
Magazine._
"Upon the whole, no book of travel and exploration in Canada has
appeared since Butler's 'Great Lone Land' was published, that combined
the interest and value of Mr. Tyrrell's book."--_Hamilton Herald._
"A remarkable trip of exploration, one of the most important of recent
years."--_Buffalo Illustrated Express._
"The tale is a marvellous one; the only wonder is the party ever
succeeded in returning to civilization."--_Christian Guardian._
"The record of their journey will be found delightful reading by those
who feel the peculiar fascination of the vast melancholy Northland....
Altogether the volume is one of solid merit."--_Christian Advocate_ (New
York).
"There is a variety in this narrative which those of strictly Arctic
expeditions lack. It leads through wonderful lakes and rivers hitherto
unvisited by white men, with thrilling adventures in running unknown and
perilous rapids."--_The Bookman_ (New York).
"The illustrations have the double virtue of illustrating the subject
and of being trustworthy; and this final remark applies to the whole
book."--_N. Y. Independent._
