Excerpt from Northern Travel: Summer and Winter Pictures of Sweden, Lapland and Norway

Tms hook 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 peo ple among whom I travel. The history of Sweden and Norway, their forms of Government, commerce, productive industry, political condition, geology, botany, and agricul ture, can be found in other works, and I have only touched.
