"'Ten Years in Sweden' supplies what hag hitherto been a desideratum in English 

 literature. There is no doubt but that for many years to come it will be the most standard 

 authority on all that relates to the natural history, the sporting, and the statistics of the 

 country." Field. 



"Just the book for travellers and emigrants, also for commercial and speculative business 

 men, and above all for sportsmen and scientific naturalists." Globe. 



" In all respects an admirable and reliable book, showing in every page evidence of the 

 conscientious manner in which it is written." Observer. 



"The great Scandinavian peninsula far exceeds in attractiveness for the sportsman any 

 other European country. The OLD BUSHMAN'S book will prove a valuable guide." Morn- 

 ing Star. 



" A really good book upon this interesting and important country has been much wanted, 

 and such a work conld only be written by a shrewd observer who had domesticated himself 

 amongst the people, and become familiar through a lengthened residence with their language, 

 customs, habits, and resources." Intellectual Observer. 



" From this work the reader will know more about Sweden, its people, its agriculture, its 

 farms, and productions, its sports and its climate, than he knew from most of the books he 

 had previously read." Spectator. 



" If we were going to Sweden we should decidedly take this book with us, and act entirely 

 upon the advice, direction, and information it contains." Messenger. 



" The author has lived among the Swedes till he has learned to appreciate their good 

 qualities. What he has observed during a ten years' residence he tells us very pleasantly." 

 Notes and Queries. 



" It is as good a book of scientific travel as has been published for a long time. It also 

 abounds in unscientific information. Of Swedish institutions of all sorts the OLD BUSHMAN 

 gives full and racy descriptions. The long chapter about Scandinavian fauna is one tLat the 

 practical naturalist will study for himself, and will find almost as useful in England as in 

 Sweden." Examiner. 



" But our readers perceiving that we are about to take leave, will probably ask what is the 

 first thing a man ought to do who is about to set out for a sporting tour in Sweden ? To 

 which our reply would simply be, Buy a copy of the OLD BUSHMAN'S ' Ten Years in Sweden,' 

 and study it carefully." Athenaum, June 17th, 1865.
