Abstract
THE title of Capt. Kennedy's pleasant volume is rather misleading; before looking into it we thought he would take us as far as Spitzbergen at least, and felt somewhat “sold” when we found his journey ended at Tromsö, in the north of Norway, which, though within the Arctic Circle, is not usually spoken of as in the Arctic Regions. Still Capt. Kennedy's book is thoroughly readable, and though it will add little to our knowledge of Norway or of the Lapps, will prove valuable to any one contemplating a visit to that now much-frequented tourist ground.
To the Arctic Regions and Back in Six Weeks, being a Summer Tour to Lapland and Norway, with Notes on Sport and Natural Histroy.
