With Five full-page Engravings, Thirty-one smaller
Illustrations, and Map of the Country, showing Routes.
The following is a recent Review of the Book:—
“We do not know any similar kind of work, and we believe that it will stand alone in the speciality of its interest.
“In addition to much adventure resulting from a nomadic life in a foreign country, it contains descriptions of scenery, besides information which may instruct the philologist. A carefully prepared map shows the routes and camp grounds of the Author’s nomadic expedition.
“The work, in consequence of the death of his late Majesty, Carl XV., on the 18th Sept., 1872, is dedicated by permission of his present Majesty, Oscar II., ‘In Memoriam.’
“The work has clearly been undertaken at considerable cost, and the scenes of travel described extend over nearly 2,000 miles of sea and land traversed by the Author with tents, gipsies, animal commissariat, and baggage, independent of any other shelter or accommodation than what he took with him. In the course of the expedition one of the highest waterfalls of Norway was visited, ‘Morte fos,’ and the highest mountain in Norway, the ‘Galdhossiggen’ was ascended. The book is cheap at a guinea, being illustrated with five full-page engravings, all of which are taken from the Author’s original sketches, or photographs specially obtained for the purpose; they are beautiful works of Art, and are admirably executed by the celebrated Mr. Edward Whymper, Author of ‘Scrambles amongst the Alps.’”
