a faithful description of Norway and set 

 forth the results accomplished by Nor- 

 wegians in every branch of human ac- 

 tivity since the establishment of the 

 independent monarchy (1814). This 

 work, " Norge I det Nittende Aarhun- 

 drede ' ' ( Norway in the XIX Century) , 

 illustrated by the best Norwegian ar- 

 tists, costs $ 1 6.00, a high price in a coun- 

 try of moderate means. The market for 

 this Norwegian library is necessarily 

 small, but the publication, although 

 started with an entirely disinterested 

 object in view, has paid for itself. From 

 one end of the country to the other all 

 classes of people have helped with their 

 subscriptions to erect this literary mon- 

 ument to science and to the glory of 

 their country. The Norwegian lan- 

 guage offers little difficulty to English- 

 speaking people, and "Norge I det 

 Nittende Aarhundrede " deserves to 

 be brought to the attention of American 

 geographers as a work of highest rank. 

 It consists of a series of very complete 

 monographs on the geography, geology, 

 history, ethnography, and varied indus- 

 tries of Norway, all edited by the most 

 eminent specialists. The work contains 

 a mass of facts which it would be very 

 difficult to find anywhere else, and is one 

 of the most important works on general 

 geography that has appeared since the 

 beginning of the twentieth century.
