Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Scandinavian Adventures, During a Residence of Upwards of Twenty Years; Representing Sporting Incidents, and Subjects of Natural History, and Devices for Entrapping Wild Animals, Vol. 1 of 2: With Some Account of the Northern Fauna
Mine is a simple story, and told in simple language necessarily so indeed, from total incapacity of perpetrating anything like fine writing. But even if gifted with the pen of a Macaulay, I would still confine myself as much as possible to facts and anecdotes, which, as a valued friend truly observed, are the things wanted, and not eloquence or sentiment.
The Chasse of the bear - the king of Scandinavian wild beasts - forms, as will be seen, a prominent feature in these volumes. Though so much has been said of this animal in my former Work, I trust that the new matter will not be deemed altogether devoid of interest.
