Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Norway, Sweden and Denmark: Handbook for Travellers The object of the Handbook for Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, which now appears for the seventh time, carefully revised and partly rewritten, is to supply information regarding the most interesting scenery and characteristics of these countries, with a few notes on the history, languages, and customs of the inhabitants. Like the Editor s other handbooks, it is based on personal acquaintance with the countries described, the chief places in which he has visited repeatedly, his efforts to secure the accuracy and completeness of the work have been supplemented by the kind assistance of several gentlemen, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, English, and German, to whom his best thanks are due. He will also gratefully receive any corrections or suggestions with which travellers may favour him. Within the last few years Norway has grown rapidly in popularity with the travelling public, and a number of new roads, railways, and steamboat-routes, with corresponding new hotels, have recently been opened. The most important of these are carefully noted in the present edition. The descriptions of the Swedish Norrland and of the trip to Spitzbergen appear for the first time in this issue of the Handbook; and the section devoted to Copenhagen and Denmark has been considerably extended. The present volume, like Baedeker´s Switzerland, may he used either as a whole, or in its separate sections, which for the convenience of travellers may be removed from the volume without falling to pieces. These sections are - (I) Introductory Part, pp. i-lxxx; (2) S. and E. Norway, as far as Trondhjem, pp. 1 to 84; (3) W. Norway, as far as Trondhjem, pp. 85 to 220; (4) N. Norway, pp. 221 to 262; (5) Sweden, pp. 263 to 390; (6) Denmark, pp. 391 to 432; (7) Index, pp. 433 to 463; (8) Grammars, at the end of the volume. On the Maps and Plans the Editor has bestowed special care, and he believes they will be found to suffice for all ordinary travellers. In the letter-press Heights are given approximately in English feet, in the maps in metres (1 metre = 3.28 Engl, ft.; 1 Norw. ft. = 1.029 Engl. ft.; 1 Swed. ft. = 0.974 Engl. ft.). Distances are given in kilometres, as the tariffs for carioles and boats are now calculated on the metrical system comp.
