Abstract
OF the 780 pages which make up these two handsome volumes, only one half is occupied with an account of Capt. Burton's doings in Iceland during the summer, June to September 1872, which he spent there. No one, of course, can conceive Capt. Burton having any temptation to the production of a mere big book, and we have no doubt that his object has been to enlighten the British public as to the real condition of Iceland and its interesting people. Indeed he hints as much in his preface; “the main object of the book,” he says, “has been to advocate the development of the island.”
