OPINIOIy^S OF THE PRESS. 



"A- very amusing and useful addition to the more elegant class of literature. The Author 

 describes the scenery which the illustrations delineate with considerable adroitness; and having 

 made himself familiar with the character, customs, occupations, and wants of the people, he 

 enlarges upon their several heads in a most graphic and engaging manner." 



YorJcshire Gazette. 



"The descriptions of the water-falls and mountain scenery are given with that fine expres- 

 sion which adorns the writings of an enthusiast in the works of Nature." 



Ilimfs YacJiting Ilagazine. 



"Preceding travellers, Inglis, Everest, Price, and others, had given us much information 

 on these points, (the scenery of the country, primitive manners and customs of the inhabi- 

 tants,) but they do not enter so minutely into detail as does the 'Dabbler.' " — The Art Journal. 



"The reader may obtain much pleasant information respecting the interesting country 

 described in this volume; and as the shores of Norway are no longer considered too distant 

 for the summer tourist in search of game, fishing, or pleasure, the information may be useful 

 to many." _ Leeds Intelligencer. 



"We cannot close our hasty notice without expressing our admiration of the style in which 

 the illustrations are executed, and the pleasure we have derived from the perusal of the 

 interesting 'Notes of a Yacht Voj'age to Hardanger Fjord.'" Cumberland Facquet.
