Excerpt from A Brage-Beaker With the Swedes: Or, Notes From the North in 1852

I cannot give this book - rapidly sketched - to the public, without thanking the many gentlemen to whom I am indebted for kindnesses and courtesies shown to me on my journey to Sweden and back. That I was happy in my travelling companions, I heartily affirm; and I hope that these will read my rough notes of our journey with some satisfaction. This journey was cheered, and made pleasant and instructive, by the attentive friendship of Count A. E. De Rosen; by the occasional society of Sir John Rennie; by the kindly-exercised influence and hospitality of Sir Edmund Lyons; by the attentions of M. Wœrn; the companionship of Conrad Montgomery, and Mr. Charles H. Edmands; by the advice and assistance of Professors Retzius and Louvèn of Stockholm, and of M. Thomson, the learned originator of the Ethnological Museum of Copenhagen.
