"From its peculiar elegance, accuracy, and beauty, is well entitled to public encouragement..... It is brought out in a very clear and neat type, and is not only well executed in all its parts, but is extremely cheap."-BELL'S MESSENGER, May 14. (3907)

"We have had occasion more than once to applaud the diligence and ability that have been developed in this series of useful publications, but the work before us is, on many accounts, the most valuable that it has yet given to the world. Previously to its appearance we did not possess in the English language any historical account whatever of Scandinavia-the careless, imperfect, and that general designation, which are to be found in our brief notices of the ancient kingdoms comprehended in topographical and statistical works, being unworthy of the name of history."-ATLAS.

"The same good taste, the same judgment, and the same fidelity of history that has distinguished the EDINBURGH CABINET LIBRARY, is observable in these volumes; and we cordially recommend them as fit companions to their predecessors in that popular and instructive work."-NAUTICAL MAGAZINE.

"The work before us presents a complete account of its subject."-SPECTATOR.

"As in the case of the preceding portions of the series, the present volumes take a wide range, the history contained in them of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, not only being Topographical, but comprising the Mythology, Government, Laws, Manners, and Institutions of Early Times, as well as giving a spirited account of the present state of Scandinavian Society, Religion, Literature, Arts, and Commerce, together with Illustrations of the Natural History in countries where so many interesting specimens occur, and where some of the most eminent cultivators of natural science have flourished."-MONTHLY REVIEW.

"Every one who consults the present work must be struck with the diligent research of the author, as well as the skill and perspicuity with which he has digested into order his various materials."-EDINBURGH COURANT.

"The extensive research, profound thought, and power of condensation displayed in this work are beyond all praise."-GLASGOW HERALD.
