Excerpt from Wayside Notes in Scandinavia I wish our modern tourists, instead of sticking to the old beaten tracks of travel, would some times go a little a-field, and visit less frequented highways. It appears that they find it neces sary to follow in the same path that their fathers and friends have gone, like so many geese on a village green, and 'do' what others have 'done; their principal object seem ing to be, besides a holiday trip (which they may as well enjoy on British ground as else where, without crossing the narrow seas), to 'hold up a corner' in a chit-chat in fashionable drawing-rooms.
