Synopsis

Excerpt from Through Norway With a Knapsack: A New and Improved Edition; With Notes on Recent Changes Suggested by a Recent Revisit I have been frequently urged by friends and Norwegian tourists to prepare a new edition of this book which has been out of print for some years, but have postponed doing so until I could revisit the country and supplement the account of my first journey with such information as is necessary to fairly represent the changes that have been wrought in Norway and Norwegian travelling since 1856. An excellent opportunity of doing this was lately afforded. Some young ladies to whom I had been lecturing on Physical Geography desired to extend their studies by taking - in company with their governess - a holiday object-lesson on Arctic and Scandinavian phenomena. They invited me to continue my teaching in this pleasant form by becoming their pilot through the country I had previously visited and described. I accepted this grave responsibility, and thus travelled again "through Norway," but this time with six ladies and more than one knapsack.
