Description

This book requires no further words of introduction than those with which I have prefaced former volumes - that my object in travel is neither scientific, statistical, nor politico-economical; but simply artistic, pictorial, - if possible, panoramic.

I have attempted to draw, with a hand which, I hope, has acquired a little steadiness from long practice, the people and the scenery of Northern Europe, to colour my sketches with the tints of the originals, and to invest each one with its native and characteristic atmosphere.

In order to do this, I have adopted, as in other countries, a simple rule: to live, as near as possible, the life of the people among whom I travel.

The history of Sweden and Norway, their forms of Government, commerce, productive industry, political condition, geology, botany, and agriculture, can be found in other works, and I have only touched upon such subjects where it was necessary to give completeness to my pictures.

I have endeavoured to give photographs, instead of diagrams, or tables of figures; and desire only that the untravelled reader, who is interested in the countries I visit, may find that he is able to see them by the aid of my eyes
