Abstract
DURING the nineteenth century, and up to sthe present time, a considerable number of books and magazine articles were published in England and America giving an account of travels in Iceland. The greater part of these writings contain merely personal details, interesting only to the narrator himself and his nearest relations; some remind us pleasantly of Mark Twain's “Innocents Abroad”; others are well written and possess some literary value, though these also are very liable to contain errors.
