LAING. THE CHRONICLE OF THE KINGS OF NORWAY, From the Earliest Period of the History of the Northern Sea Kings to the Middle of the Twelfth Century, commonly called The Heimskringla. Translated from the Icelandic of Snorro Sturleson, with Notes, and a Preliminary Discourse, by SAMUEL LAING, Author of "Notes of a Traveller," &c. 3 vols. 8vo. 36s. cloth.

"The Chronicle of Snorro Sturleson is so full of graphic incident, that the reader forgets, in the illusions of its story, that the narrator was the historian of events that were past, and not the chronicler of the day. Hence it must be, that the work has taken its place, in Norway, among the household books for winter nights of the poor Bonder and his family, close together got' in the wooden hut. Mr. Laing has prefixed to his excellent translation an Introduction of great merit, in which all that is most valuable in the Chronicle, as illustrating our own early history, is collected together and brought into prominent notice. Light is thrown in this way on many of our ancient usages, our laws, our free institutions, and our language; and the dissertation altogether is unusually interesting."--ATLAS.
