Edition, map and numerous large and small woodcuts representing
curious incidents, strange customs, the manners and customs of the North,
a very fine copy in original stamped calf

The works of the two brothers Magnus, both Bishops of Upsala in immediate
succession, should be carefully distinguished. That of Joannes Magnus is an historical
chronicle down to 1520; that of Olaus Magnus is a complete illustrated Encyclopædia
of Northern Superstitions, Occupations, Sports, Warfare, etc. following no chronological
sequence, but simply arranged under various headings.

"S. G. who died in 1204, has left us a history which has delighted both taste and
learning by its elegance and vigour; and which, considering his age and country, is
surprising for its power of composition."

traditions of his countrymen, and these may claim that attention, when they coincide
with those of the Ancient British."-Turner.
