_Postscriptum._--In enumerating recent works on Iceland and the North, I
omitted to mention Dillon's _Winter in Iceland and Lapland_, 2 volumes,
London, 1840 an excellent work not sufficiently known.
The trading vessels to Iceland are exceedingly rough and dirty. The
Dart, Madeira packet, a fine brig of 350 tons, will probably go thither
this summer with passengers.
