Description
Excerpt from The Primitive Inhabitants of Scandinavia: An Essay on Comparative Ethnography, and a Contribution to the History of the Development of Mankind
The present translation was made in Sweden, under the immediate superintendence of the Author. It constitutes, in fact, a new edition, differing con siderably, not only from the original, but also from that which was published at the commencement of last year. Under these circumstances, I have not liked to introduce too many modifications, lest, in altering the style, I might perhaps change some what the meaning also. Moreover, although in many places the English has a slightly foreign aspect, I do not think that the reader will find any practical in convenience; and in the translation of a scientific work, accuracy is of more importance than style.
