About this Item

1879, London, Virtue & Co., Limited, 4to, first edition, pp x + 210, black and white illustrations, green cloth, rustic gilt and black lettering and inset gilt vignette on upper board. "Norway presents a wide field for observation and research, whatever may be the tastes and predilections of the visitor. Here may the geologist, if so disposed, find ample material for study; the archaeologist and antiquarian may revel among Runic stones, Viking tumuli, rites and ceremonies, quaint wood-carvings adorned with the ever-twining serpent, costumes, customs, &c; the keenest sportsman will find a treat in store for him; while the lover of the grand in nature and of simple rustic life will meet with them here to his heart's content. "Indeed a grand travelogue evidently intent on following the advice of Murray's Hand-book of a few years earlier to "quit the more beaten paths of Southern Europe, and explore the less known, but equally romantic, regions of the north." Hinges strengthened with tape, corners a little rubbed, otherwise very good.
