QUITE RARE FIRST EDITION. HARDCOVER. No Dust jacket if originally issued. The Fall of Torngak, Or The Moravian Mission On The Coast of Labrador, by Rev. J.W. Davey. VERY GOOD CONDITION (Please see our photos). With 20 Illustrations and map. 5 1/4 X 7 3/4, 288 pages plus adverts. Adverts are tanning. Published 1905 by S.W. Partridge & Co. 8 and 9 Paternoster Row -and- Moravian Mission Agency 32 Fetter Lane, London. PREFACE: "In the lonely retreat of Abloriak Bay, on the western coast of the Labrador peninsula, rise in solitary grandeur the great black mountains called the Torngaets. The rocky precipices which look grimly down upon the shadowed water have assumed grotesque and fantastic shapes, presenting to the imagination the jagged ruins of some ancient fallen city. Far up on the summit of one such precipice looms the black and yawning entrance to some deep cavern, shaped like the gable end of a building. This was the reputed dwelling-place of Torngak, the spirit of evil. The scenery all around is is extremely wild and weird; and when the terror-stricken native found himself driven by opposing forces within the range of this dread influence he fastened, in self-defense, the inflated intestine of a seal o a tent pole fixed to one side of his boat, and hung upon his breast a raven's claw..." An historically and sociologically important work. A valuable addition to any archive or special collection. ADDITIONALY, we have purchased and included a small map, dating from 1885, of Moravian missions on the Labrador Coast.
