Description of Norway The following account of the appearance of Norway, as distinguished from Sweden, is given by Bedenmar-Norway, he says, consists principally of a mountain-basin, surrounded by the remains of an elevated platfors, the exterior border of which, jagged by deep cuts, and ascending to a great height, lies around the whole of the ridge of the principal range of mountains. The sea has penetrated to this border, through the abysses which have been opened; and the western storms, and an illjudged industry, have circumscribed within the valines the scanty woods which run through the basin itself. On the outside descend only mountain torrents, short in their course the large streams belong to the centre of the land. *** They form many beautiful and high waterfalis, and many large lakes in their course. On the costs only are a few towns to be found

the rest of the country is covered with insulated dwellings; brown log-houses, surrounded by a few corn-fields and extensive meadows, small and independent pos sessions, suited to the independent and sturdy character of the people. In the vi cinity of rivers, which are at times nearly invisible from the quantity of timber floats ing down them, numerous saw-mills are tó be seen; and a few iron and copper works are to be met with in the spaces cleared from wood. Along the sea shore, habita tions, solitary or in groupes, surrounded with implements for fishing, and caring fish, appear like so many nests in the green hollows among the rocks. Over all this, an atmosphere generally clear, delightful, and invigorating, is spread as far as the 69 -70 of latitude, after which we meet with deep and impenetrable fogs, a sea like lead, and the melancholy silence of an uninter rupted wilderness.

9vIt is proposed to republish, by subscrip. tion, The Forms of the Church of Scotland, Sucs Stcs cc. published at Edinburgh in the year 1567, by Bishop Carsewell of Argyll, with an English Preface, Notes, and some account of the Bishop, &c.; by the Rev. James M'Gibbon, Inverary. This ancient and curious book, printed in the Gaelic lan guage, at a period when there were but few books printed even in English, must be inter esting to all the lovers of Celtic literature. To them the single circumstance of there being now only one copy of the work known to be extant, will, independent of many other reasons which might be stated, but which are reserved for the Editor's Preface, be a sufficient apology for proposing to reprint this very rare and earliest specimen of printed Gaelic, as the only means, both of preserving it from being utterly lost, and of preventing the Gothic scepticism of future times as to its having ever existed. The prefatory letters addressed by Bishop Carsewell to the Earl of Argyll, and to the Reader, &c. it is proposed to accompany with an English Translation, as they contain matter which may be deemed interesting to
