Excerpt from Journal of a Residence in Norway: During the Years 1834, 1835,& 1836; Made With a View to Enquire Into the Moral and Political Economy of That Country, and the Condition of Its Inhabitants

The writer of the following observations aims at a higher object than the amusement or instruction of those who may read them. He would draw the attention of this country, if he had the ability to do so, to the important duty which, by the trans actions of 1813 and 1814, we are morally bound as a nation to perform to this handful of free and happy people living under a liberal constitution, flourishing under their own legislation, and making no demands, asking no favours, from the other governments of Europe, unless that Great Britain should watch over the guarantee she has given for their independent existence and the enjoyment of their constitution of the 17th of May, 1814.
