Many Canadian and American Icelanders are at this time of year making preparations to go to Iceland. They will find his excellent article very helpful, as he points out the most interesting places to visit when touring the country. Our friend Arni Bjarnarson, publisher in Akureyri, kindly sent us a Traveller's Guide, recently published.
It has an excellent road map; maps of the Central Highlands and Kaldidalur; plans of Reykjavik and Akureyri. It gives a historical summary of the country; information about its geography; how to get to Iceland; when to visit, clothing, travel agencies, language, the arts; personal names, accommodation, fishing, bird watching, horses and riding, sports and recreation, places of interest, to mention a few headings at random.
This handy guide book is probably available in every bookstore in the country. We advise every traveller in Ice- land to get a copy—I. Beginnings of Tourism According to legend it was St. P a t r i c k who drove the snakes out of Ireland, and for that great feat he is remem- bered with gratitude by visit ors to that beautiful island. But travelers in Iceland too will look in vain for any kind of reptile and will no doubt s u r m i s e that the hallowed Briton must have found time for a sojourn in that more northerly island also.
Pub- lished in London in , this book contains a chapter en- 'titled "Concerning Snakes", in which appears the laconic statement: "No snakes of any kind are to be met w i t h through the whole island. For in- stance, some of the authors perpetuated the myth that Mount Hekla marked the open- ing down to hell and that the volcano's eruptions were the fire and smoke being emitted by the nether regions. And the spate of interesting books about Iceland published over the years must have served additionally to excite the in- terest of the traveling public.
The above - mentioned book, for instance, indubitably had numerous readers in Great Britain as well as its country of original publication, one consequence being that only a few decades later there were published several b o o k s in English about Iceland, about the opportunities to be found there for unusual travel, for roughing it, for mountain and nature study. The British, incidentally, seems to be the people who invented tourism; at any rate, they were the first to travel in any sizable num- ber throughout Europe for the sole purpose of pleasure and gaining knowledge about the places visited.
Englishmen pioneered walking and climb- ing just for the fun of it in the mountains of Norway, and they were the first to fish for salmon and trout, as a sport, in the Norwegian rivers and waterfalls. And no sooner did the British begin to travel abroad, to admire the scenery, and to look somewhat quizzi- cally at the customs of foreign lands, than they commenced to publish books about the rousing adventures they had had among those, to them, rather strange and q u a i n t peoples.

Consequently, British biblio- graphies in the category "Tra- vel and Description" are re- plete with books on travel in Norway as well as other lands, and the interested reader may purchase any number of ab- sorbing accounts from anti- quarian bookdealers in Great Britain and in Scandinavia. V e r y representative of the books devoted to tourism in Norway, for instance, is the delightful and well k n o w n Three in Norway, by Two of Them, the two being J. Lees and W. This book appeared in London in and together with many similar books musts have done more than their share to steer Englishmen by the thousands across the North Sea and to make Norway one of the most popular goals of that new kind of human being—the pure and unadulterated traveler for pleasure, the tourist.
Norway w a s undoubtedly one of the favorite destinations of British tourists during the 's, but many of an even more adventurous bent set their course in a more north- erly direction and traveled along the highways and by- ways of that strange island known as Iceland.

Among E n g 1 i s h and Scottish travelers to Iceland also, of course, there were many who suffered from the common human f a i 1 i n g of wanting to tell the folks back home about their experiences. And for that we should be thankful, for the books they published m a k e marvelous reading even today and shed much light on conditions in Iceland of the last century. Travel and Descripiion, Mosily Briiish Some o f t h o s e venerable works on travel in Iceland deserve not only to be men- tioned here but also to be read with some care by those who plan to visit the countr'y.
