Excerpt from Up the Baltic; Or Young America in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark: A Story of Travel and AdventureUP the baltic, the first volume of the second series of young america abroad, like its predecessors, is a record of what was seen and done by the young gentlemen of the Academy Squadron on its second voyage to Europe, embra cing its stay in the waters of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Agreeably to the announcement made in the concluding vol ume of the first series, the author spent the greater portion of last year in Europe. His sole object in going abroad was to obtain the material for the present series of books, and in carrying out his purpose, he visited every country to which these volumes relate, and, he hopes, properly fitted himself for the work he has undertaken.In the preparation of UP the baltic, the writer has used, besides his own note-books, the most reliable works he could obtain at home and in Europe, and he believes his geo graphical, historical, and political matter is correct, and as full as could be embodied in a story. He has endeavored to describe the appearance of the country, and the manners and customs of the people, so as to make them interesting to young readers. For this purpose these descriptions are Often interwoven with the story, or brought out in the comments of the boys of the squadron.The story is principally the adventures of the crew of the second cutter, who attempted an independent excursion without running away, which includes the career ofa young Englishman, spoiled by his mother's indulgence, and Of a Norwegian waif, picked up by the squadron in the North Sea.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
