Excerpt from Norway and the Norwegians The growing attractiveness of Norse scenery to English and American travellers, whereof the returns of steam ship companies and hotels would be sufficient evidence, has been witnessed also by the production during recent years of a good many books descriptive of the country. The present volume is not an addition to the number of these. It does not, that is to say, aim chiefly at describing what the tourist may expect to see in Nor way; but rather at supplying those items of informa tion which the most sharp-sighted traveller could not get from observation alone; some of those links which unite the Norway of to-day to the Norway of the past, and the parts of the existing life of the country visible to the eye to other parts which the mere tourist cannot participate in, the life of politics, of industry, of literature, which belongs to the inhabitants of a country but not to the visitors to. It. A final chapter, kindly written for me by Miss E. Tindall, deals upon the same plan'with the Flora of Norway.

Excerpt from The Norwegian Fjords The fjords of Norway, by their unique charm, annually attract an increasing number of English and American tourists. This volume, the artist hopes, may be found useful to the traveller who desires a more intimate acquaintance with the country and its people than may be acquired from a casual visit to its shores. It is the outcome of periodical visits to Norway extending over the last fifteen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Story of Norway It has been my ambition for many years to write a history of Norway, chiefly because no such book, worthy of the name, exists in the English language. When the publishers of the present series of "The Stories of the Nations" proposed to me to write the "story" of my native land, I therefore eagerly accepted their offer. The "story," however, according to their plan, was to differ in some important respects from a regular history. It was to dwell particularly upon the dramatic phases of historical events, and concern itself but slightly with the growth of institutions and sociological phenomena. It therefore necessarily takes small account of proportion. In the present volume more space is given to the national hero, Olaf Tryggvesson, whose brief reign was crowded with dramatic events, than to kings who reigned ten times as long. For the same reason the four centuries of the Union with Denmark are treated with comparative brevity. Many thing happened, no doubt, during those centuries, but "there were few deeds."

Excerpt from Norwegians in New York, 1825-1925 Owing to this backwardness on our part in getting our records in order, the contributions to the community made by the Norwegian ele ment in New York have, to a large extent, been hidden under a bushel. Because of this lack of records, statistics and definite information concern ing our life and activities, we do not, perhaps, show up fully as well as we otherwise might, although we do, of course, in a general way rank high as citizens of this country.

Excerpt from History of the Norwegian People, Vol. 1 The growing interest in Norwegian language, literature, and culture in this country has created a special need for a history of the Norwegian people in the English language devoting sufficient attention to the more important phases of the people's life to show the development of their institutions and culture, their life at home, and their activity and influence abroad. It has been my aim in this work to meet this demand by having constantly in mind what questions an intelligent reader might be expected to ask, and by trying, as far as possible, to answer them. In the Middle Ages the Scandinavian peoples were potent factors in developing navigation, commerce, municipal life and government, literature and culture in northern Europe. But nothing has been taken for granted, nor has any theory been advanced beyond what is clearly established by the investigations of the best schol ars. The way to the original sources has, therefore, always been pointed out, and these have been used in a conservative spirit. The views of the leading scholars have been followed, and some times preference has been purposely given to the more conservative views on points where there is or might be a difference of opinion. On the whole I have deemed it advisable to adhere to Snorre Sturlason's healthful principle: It seems better to us that some thing should be added later than that anything should have to be stricken out. The period of the union with Denmark has been treated with some fullness of detail. The preservation of the people's per sonal freedom amidst general national decay, the germs of a new development distinctly traceable in social life has been especially dwelt upon, not only because these features are characteristic of the life of the Norwegian people in that period, but because they constitute the basis of their political and social development in modern times. Regarding Norway's long struggle for complete independence after 1814 an attempt has been made to state facts fearlessly and impartially, without any spirit of antagonism against the noble and heroic Swedish people, who are and will be Norway's truest friends.

Excerpt from The Norwegian Invasion of Scotland in 1263 Gentlemen and Fellow-Members, I have much pleasure in dedicating this little volume to you. The publication originated under the circumstances mentioned in the accompanying Preface, written by my esteemed friend, the Rev. Dr. Forbes, to whom, in common with Mr. Edward Wishart, of Leith, I am greatly indebted for having so efficiently accomplished the labours of translation. The subject is most interesting, and peculiarly appropriate for the investigation of our Society. If by the perusal of these pages you shall be led to inquire into the important era in Scottish history which is associated with the battle of Largs, and in some measure to surround with the light of truth what is at present dark and uncertain, I shall be amply requited for any trouble imposed on me by this effort, humbly put forth on your behalf, and with the aim of extending the influence of the Society.
