Abstract

A Summer in Iceland
January 14, 1869 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "A Summer in Iceland," by C.W. Paijkull and translated by M.R. Barnard. The author's chief motive in visiting Iceland was to study the formation of its east coast, particularly as being more interesting in a mineralogical point of view, and having been less explored than the rest of the island. In reporting his experiences, however, he has chosen to address a wider circle of readers than could have been obtained for a purely scientific monograph. The religion most needful for Iceland at the present time appears to be that of a board of health rather than of a board of foreign missions.
