Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fur and the Fur Trade Irving's Astoria; in the records of the Hudson's Bay Company, and in the annals of the fairs held at N ijui Novgorod and Leipsic. Here it may suffice to give some account of the present condition of the trade\ ln fancy furs. The collection of skins is now chiefly a matter of private enterprise. Few, if any, monopolies exist. The Alaska Commercial Conipany, now about ten years old, enjoys some special privilege for the taking of seal skins on the Pribiloff Islands, and some peculiar restrictions exist in Russia in relation to certain peltries, but beyond this, the trade in furs is a free one the world over. Individual enterprise, skill, forecast, and capital, have an open field. The Hudson's Bay Company, with its chief office in London, still maintains its organization, but conducts its. Affairs in North America under no special or royal grant, and com petes in the open market with individual traders throughout Canada, Labrador, Manitoba, and Columbia. Its collection of peltries is offered to the highest bidder at public auction in London, in January, March, and September of each year.

Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... At this time weaving was known only to the tribes of the coast region, which seemed to be advanced beyond barbarism in many lines at the time of Caesar's first visit. The mining and exportation of tin were carried on by them and this trade with countries of a superior civilization, which this made possible, is doubtless the reason for the higher stage of civilization found among the coast Britons, as compared with that of the people of the interior. The natives of this region, Caesar tells us, were clothed almost entirely in garments made from the skins of animals. In excavations of the bronze age graves in Britain, scraps of leather have been found showing that the ancient inhabitants of this island understood the tanning of skins. From the writings of the conqueror it is also learned that shoes made from hides with the hair turned out, were worn.1 In later days of civilized England, furs became very fashionable. Pur garments and fur trimming are represented on parts of her oldest coat-of-arms. After the date of William the Conqueror, 1066, furs were used with increasing popularity. The fur garments in the wardrobe of Matilda of Flanders, the wife of the Conqueror, were not many, while Eleanor of Antiquaine, wife p of Henry II, 1154, was the possessor of many such garments. The use of furs in England increased rapidly. The entire country travelled along the road which eventually led her to a position of supermacy as regards the fur markets of the world. The use of furs and other costly materials became so extravagant that in 1314, during the reign if Edward II.it was i 1.-Clinch, George. Antiquary's Book. p. 8 2.-Dovey, Hichard.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fur Trade of America For the past few years, there has been a campaign waged in the United States, which almost charges any one wearing a piece of fur with murder. When that question is asked me, I feel like answering by asking another set of questions Is child birth cruel? Is any type of birth for animals or humans painless Should we abolish all birth and strive for the Nirvana of Nothingness because all birth is at tended with even greater pain than death? Should we cease to fight for right and award honor to the heroes of war, because the triumph of right must necessarily entail death to those who fight for wrong?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Muskrat The wearing of fur garments is as old as human history, but furs were slow in gaining favor in the temperate and warmer parts of Europe. Even in the middle ages their use was greatly restricted by sumptuary laws, which, on the plea of restraining extravagance, permitted the common people to wear only the inferior kinds. In several European countries sable was reserved for the nobility and ermine for the sole use of the royal families. Later, judges were allowed to wear ermine as officers and representatives of the king, and this concession was afterwards extended to all attendants on the court and servants of the royal family. The subsequent use ofthis fur by the nobility and clergy and finally by merchants and wealthy citizens are matters of history.
