- A continuation of this history was published by Crantz, in
German, 1770, which has not been translated.
VI. EUROPE.
LAPLAND AND THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES.
223. Canuti Leemii de Lapponibus. Copenhagen, 1767. 2 vols. 4to. - This
work, containing a rich mine from which travellers in Lapland, particularly
Acerbi, have drawn valuable materials, is seldom met with complete and with
all the plates: there should be 100 of them.
224. Histoire de la Lapponie, traduite du Latin de M. Schaeffer. Paris,
1678. 4to.
225. Journal d'un Voyage au Nord, 1736-7. Amsterdam, 1746. 12mo. - This
work, though principally and professedly an account of the labours of
Maupertuis, to ascertain the figure of the earth, is interesting to the
general reader, from the descriptions it gives of the manners, &c. of the
natives of Lapland, &c.
226. Memoires sur les Samoyedes et les Lappous. Copenhagen, 1766. 8vo.
227. Voyage dans le Nord de l'Europe, 1807. Par La Motte. 4to.
Paris. - Norway and part of Sweden were visited by this traveller on foot,
and he gives details of scenery, &c. which only a foot traveller could
procure.
228. The natural History of Iceland. By Horrebow, 1758. folio.
229. Von Troil's Letters from Iceland. 1780. 8vo. - This translation is not
nearly so accurate as that into French, published in Paris, 1781. 8vo.
230. Travels in Iceland during the Summer of 1810. By Sir G. Mackenzie,
1811. 4to. - Almost every topic on which a traveller is expected to give
information is here treated of: the history, religion, natural history,
agriculture, manners, &c.; and all evidently the result of much previous
knowledge, good sense, and information collected on the spot.
231. Hooker's Journal of a Tour in Iceland in 1809. 2 vols. 8vo. - Natural
History, especially Botany; the travels of this author, Mackenzie, and
Henderson, would seem to leave nothing to be desired on the subject of this
extraordinary island and its inhabitants.
232. Journal of a Residence in Iceland, 1814-15. By Henderson. 2 vols.
8vo. - The state of society, manners, domestic habits, and religion, are
here treated of; but there is too much minuteness, and a tediousness and
dryness of style and manner.
233. Voyage en Islande. Par Olafsen et Povelsen. Paris, 1801. 5 vols.
8vo. - This work, translated from the Danish, though tedious and prolix,
supplies many curious particulars respecting the natural history of the
country and the manners of the people.
234. OEconomische Reise durch Island. Von Olavius. Leip. 4to.
235. Landt's Description of the Feroe Islands. Translated from the Danish.
8vo. - This work, which was published at Copenhagen in 1800, is the only
accurate account of these islands since the Feroe Reserata of Debes in
1673; but it is too minute and long for the subjects it describes.
236. Coxes's Travels in Poland, Russia, Sweden and Denmark. 5 vols.
8vo. - The substantial merits of this work are well known.
237. Acerbi's Travels through Sweden, Finland, and Lapland, to the North
Cape, in 1798-9. 2 vols. 4to. 1801. - These travels are interesting and
attractive; but they bear evident marks of having been made up by an
editor.
