Journal of William Edward Baxter describing a tour of Denmark, Norway and Sweden in 1852., 1852.
Scope and Contents
William Baxter travelled from Dover to Ostend and through Germany to Denmark where he visited Copenhagen and Roskilde. From there he went by boat to Norway and travelled north by carriage to Trondheim, returning down the east coast of Sweden to Uppsala and Stockholm, through the waterway system to Trollhättan and finally to Göteborg whence he crossed to Hull. He describes the towns, landscapes and agriculture with a critical eye, commenting on the Scandinavian way of life and comparing it with that in other countries.
