text_original: The book is not now so well known as it deserves to be. Mary's descriptions of the physical characteristics of Norway and Sweden are equal to any written by more recent English travellers to Scandi  navia ; and her account of the people is valuable as an unprejudiced record of the manners and customs exist  ing among them towards the end of the eighteenth century.
