be found in many of the larger towns, while in the smaller
towns and country districts there are inns (Norw.
Gjmtgive-ricr , Sw. gäst gifvare gårdar , posting-stations (Norw.
Skgds-stationer, Sw. skjutsstationer , and farm-houses (Norw.
Bonde-rjiuerdc, Sw. bondegårdar), the proprietors of which are bound
to receive travellers and to provide them with horses
whenever required. The accommodation at these country inns or
stations is usually unpretending, but they are generally clean,
and the charges are very moderate. In the Introduction and
throughout the Handbook the ordinary items of expenditure
are given approximately. The landlords are a much more
independent class than the innkeepers of most other countries,
being in many cases substantial farmers or shopkeepers, a
very small proportion of whose livelihood is derived from
innkeeping.
To the Languages of Norway and Sweden, the former
in particular, an unusually ample space has been allotted
(see removable cover at the end of the volume), partly on the
ground that a slight knowledge of them is essential to the
complete success of the traveller’s tour, and partly because
they are not included in any of the ordinary manuals of
conversation.
Lovers of Sport will still find considerable scope for their
favourite pursuits both in Norway and Sweden , but seldom
without deviating from the beaten track of tourists, and
undergoing some privations. A number of the places where the
best shooting and fishing are obtainable are mentioned in
the Handbook.
To hotel-keepers, tradesmen, and others the Editor begs
to intimate that a character for fair dealing towards
travellers forms the sole passport to his commendation, and that
advertisements of every kind are strictly excluded from his
Handbooks. Hotel-keepers are also warned against persons
representing themselves as agents for Baedeker’s Handbooks.
