Three in Norway. By "Two of Them." (Longmans, Green, and
Co.) 1882.—A very pleasant book of travel in Norway, told in a way that gives all the freshness of the enjoyment that the three had in their various fishing, canoeing, and travelling adventures. The jokes and fan are, perhaps, in the beginning, a trifle in excess, for the reader feels he must tune himself up to them. There are also a number of good little drawings, illustrative of their experiences. We think that by this pleasantly told trip the three may perhaps increase the number of visitors to their happy hunting-grounds, more than may be pleasant to them ; but any such tourists as are tempted by this account must go armed with the same temper of cheerfulness, and must be able to make the best of everything, or their tour will not be so successful as that of the three.
