‎"Avec ce livre, l'auteur a mis un excellent ouvrage entre les mains de l'anthropologue et du profane intéressé. Il fournit tout d'abord des connaissances géographiques sur le pays d'origine des Ammassalimiut ou de la tribu esquimaude Angmagssalik et donne ensuite un aperçu historique des contacts entre Européens et Esquimaux, en commençant par la découverte du Groenland à la fin du dixième siècle de notre ère et la première mention des indigènes au onzième siècle. Dès lors, les témoignages écrits se multiplient, relatant les différentes rencontres entre Blancs et Esquimaux. Le groupe Ammassalimiut a été découvert par un Danois au début du XXe siècle, mais R. Gessain et l'un de ses collaborateurs sont les premiers chercheurs à avoir soumis cette tribu à une étude anthropologique approfondie dans les années 1934-35. Le présent ouvrage présente des résultats anthroposcopiques et anthropométriques ainsi que des comparaisons de la croissance des garçons et des filles, des comparaisons de la morphologie des hommes et des femmes, des comparaisons avec d'autres tribus esquimaudes et la répartition géographique de différents types d'esquimaux. Il convient de souligner que toutes les mesures ont été effectuées dans le pays d'origine des Ammassalimiut, et même, pour la plupart, dans leurs propres habitations, ce qui garantit leur authenticité. Sur la base de ses résultats (pp. 37-154), l'auteur conclut que les Ammassalimiut sont d'une part assez proches des Mongols, et que d'autre part, comme tous les Eskimo, un ancien mélange europide est très probable chez eux. En l'absence de découvertes archéologiques appropriées, l'auteur se voit dans l'impossibilité d'esquisser une théorie de la migration de la tribu. Ces recherches ont permis de saisir, pour ainsi dire à la dernière minute, un peuple dont les particularités psychiques et physiques, nées d'un isolement de plusieurs siècles, menacent aujourd'hui de disparaître en raison des contacts réguliers avec les Blancs et leur culture. Les recherches ultérieures d'un autre chercheur (1950) ont confirmé la justesse de cette opinion. Ce texte excellent est accompagné de belles photographies de membres masculins et féminins de l'Ammassilimiut ainsi que d'une copieuse bibliographie. Nous recommandons vivement cet ouvrage." (R. Zdansky, Anthropos, 1962)‎

‎GREENLAND WHALE FISHERY British Acts of Parliament‎

‎A series of 12 British Acts of Parliament concerning whaling mostly in Greenland and the Davis Strait‎

‎London: John Baskett and others printers 1818. 12 works folio. 12 1/2 x 8 inches and smaller. Disbound or stitched A fascinating series spanning the whole of the period when whaling was carried out on a successful commercial basis in the waters off Greenland. After an abortive start by the South Sea Company between 1724 and 1732 the British whaling fleet operated off Greenland and the Davis Strait throughout the remainder of the 18th century with increasing success due to a large degree to the succession of bounties granted to ship owners by the British Government. The present selection of acts of parliament includes a number concerning the bounty: the first dated 16th January 1732 makes law "that a Bounty will be paid on the Return of every Ship of 200 tons and over imployed by His Majesty's Subjects in the Whale Fishery". For the bounty to be paid certain stringent criteria had to be met; these increased as the century progressed. By the time of the last Act in the present group March 1818 the Greenland whalers were reporting declining catches and were already beginning to turn their attention to other whaling grounds i.e. largely in the Pacific and Antarctic. This group offers and interesting series of snapshots of the industry during its most productive century. The acts comprise: 1. An Act for encouraging the Greenland Fishery. 1732. Stitched later wrappers. Exemption from duty extended for a nine year period. 2. An Act for the further Encouragment of the Whale Fishery carried on by His Majesty's British Subjects. 1733. Stitched later wrappers. The introduction of a bounty for ships over 200 tons. 3. An Act for continuing the several Laws therein mentioned . including granting a further Bounty for all Ships employed in the Whale Fishery during the present War; for exempting Harponers and others . from being impressed. No date but circa 1750. Spine reinforced. The bounty raised by a third other measures to help the trade. 4. An Act for granting a additional Bounty on Ships employed in the Greenland and Whale Fishery for a limited time. No adte but circa 1761. Disbound. The increased bounty confirmed for another five years. 5.An Act for further continuing several Acts . for the Encouragement of the Whale Fishery. 1768. Stitched. 6. An Act for the better Support and Establishment of the Greenland and Whale Fishery. 1771. Stitched. The rules about the amount of bounty to be paid has changed with additional laws concerning vessels of American origin exemption from duty extended to include the Gulf of St. Lawrence certain members of a whaler's crew to be exempt from being pressed into service in the Royal Navy etc. 7.An Act to explain and amend Two Acts made . with respect to the Limits of the Greenland Seas and Davis's Streights . and to enlarge the Time for the Return of the Vessels employed in the Whale Fisheries. 1780. Stitched. 8. An Act for granting an additional Bounty on Ships employed in the Greenland and Whale Fishery for a limited Time. 1782. Disbound. The bounty retained for a further five years. 9. An Act for allowing Vessels employed in the Greenland Whale Fishery to complete their full Number of Men at certain Ports for the Present Season. 1805. Spine strengthened. Whaling ships permitted to call in to ports in Scotland the Orkneys and the Shetland Islands to find men to complete their crews. 10. An Act for allowing until the Signature of Preliminary Articles of Peace Vessels . to complete their full Number of Men at certain ports. 1806. Spine strenghtened. An extension of the previous act. 11. An Act to revive and continue for five years several Laws. 1815. Strengthened spine. Several prvious acts re-confirmed. 12. An Act to amend an Act . so far as it relates to the Oaths thereby required. 1818. Unbound. Concerns the oaths required from owners/captains before the bounty due would be released to them.
