The party consisted of Professor MALTHUS', the Rev. W. OTTER', JOHN MARTEN CRIPPS, Esq. and the Author of these Travels. It was their intention to visit Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Lapland; countries seldom seen by literary men; and, at this time, less liable than any other to those political convulsions which agitated more frequented regions.

Perhaps there is not a more fertile part of our island.
