A TOUR IN SWEDEN in 1838; comprising Observations on the Moral, 

 Political, and Economical State of the Swedish Nation. By Samuel Laing, 

 Esq. 8vo. i2s. cloth. 



(Extract from Author's Preface.) 



"The calm which we have been eiijoiing for nearly a quarter of a century, after the 

 storm of the French Revolution which shook the world, is peiliajjs the most important 

 period that has occurred in the history of the human race. New powers, it may be said, 

 have been aranted to man durinff this period— new intellectual power, by the general 

 diffusion of knowledge through the press— new physical power, by the general applica- 

 tion of steam to machinery and movement. The changes which these mighty agen- 

 cies are rapidly producing in the social condition of the lower and middle classes of every 



country the circumstances in their ancient institutions, laws, and governments, which 



are retarding or accelerating the progress of these classes to a condition of higher 

 moral and physical wellbeing— are objects peculiarly deserving the attention of the 

 traveller ; and it is a tield in which, with the most ordinary intelligence and observa- 

 tion, he may be eminently useful. In Nomay and Sweden such inquii ies are peculiarly 

 interesting at the present period, because these two nations, although the furthest 

 removed fi otn the agitation of the Frencli Revolution, have, by a singular chance, been 

 atfected by it more permanently, and one of them more beneticially, than any others 

 in Europe. Nomay received a new and hberal consvitution, and has started with the 

 freshness of youth— a new nation, as it were, called suddenly into life from among the 

 slumbering;- feudal populations of the North. Sweden received a nevv dynasty, and 

 slumbers mi amidt,t ancient institutions and social aiTangements of darker ages." 



Kavino- attempted in a former work to give a sketch of the present social condition 

 of the Norwegian people, I have considered it neco>:sai-y, in order to complete the view 

 of the prcseiif moral, political, and economical state of the inhabitants of the Scan- 

 dinavian peninsula, to undertake the following sketch of the Swedish." 



Lately pubUshed, price 14s. the 2d Edit, of 

 MR. LAING' S THREE YEARS' RESIDENCE IN NORWAY. 

 " For minuteness of information, and amphtude of details regarding the habits, 

 manners, customs, and general condition of the Noi-wegians, this work of Mr. Laing's 

 surpasses, we think, any that has yet appeared on the same subject. We ourselves 

 have certainly met with no work capable of atlbrding so complete and intelligible a 

 picture of the domestic economy, of the ordinary mode of living, and daily pursuits of 

 this interestingpeople, than what is presented to us in the pages of this very entertain- 

 ing volume."— Scotsman.
