And Now I Take Leave Of My Dear Readers, Requesting Them To Accept
With Indulgence My Descriptions, Which Are Always True, Though They
May Not Be Amusing.
If I have, as I can scarcely hope, afforded
them some amusement, I trust they will in return grant me a small
corner in their memories.
In conclusion, I beg to add an Appendix, which may not be
uninteresting to many of my readers, namely:
1. A document which I procured in Reikjavik, giving the salaries of
the royal Danish officials, and the sources from whence they are
paid.
2. A list of Icelandic insects, butterflies, flowers, and plants,
which I collected and brought home with me.
