Book excerpt: Excerpt from Finland as It Is This record of a very pleasurable journey was only published at the suggestion, in St. Petersburg, of an English bookseller. "During the summer season," said the latter, "I am pestered every day for books upon Finland. But what am I to do? There are none in the market. Most people have read Mrs. Tweedie's Through Finland, everybody carries a 'Murray's Guide, ' but there is nothing new on the subject. Why don't you write your experiences? Tell people in England and America how to get to Finland, and how to travel through it as pleasantly and as cheaply as possible, and I will answer for the sale of the book - at any rate in Petersburg." Thus this little volume, compiled from very crude and careless notes, has seen the light. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Finland and the Finns The present book is written from the stand point of one who has made his home in Finland, and the writer hopes that what he may have lost in the freshness of first impressions may prove to be more than counterbalanced by increased intimacy with the land and people described. As Finland, in spite of the excellent books that have been written by thoughtful and observant travellers, is still but little known, it has seemed best to concentrate attention on the leading features of Finnish life, and not to go too much into details which, in the absence of a conception of the country as a whole, might easily prove wearisome or confusing. The general ignorance of Finland has also made a small amount of repetition unavoidable, as it has been necessary to summarize in the Introduction matters which are treated at greater length in subsequent chapters. It may be as well to point out that the term "Finn" is sometimes used to denote any citizen of Finland, and sometimes, in a narrower sense, to distinguish the Finnish-speaking from the Swedish-speaking population of the country. Similarly "Swede" sometimes signifies an inhabitant of Sweden, and sometimes is used to distinguish the Swedish-speaking from the Finnish-speaking population of Finland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Finland: August, 1908 March, 1909 When I undertook to write a book of travel, my wisest friend counselled me thus: Be concrete and personal, and avoid generalities as you would poison. It was excellent advice, and I always kept it before me as an ideal but I found, even with my first letter, that it was impossible to follow. I imagine most books of travel can be analysed under the following heads: What the writers saw, what they heard, whom they met, and the conclusions they drew from their experiences. Now these three elements are full of danger. What the writers heard they may have imperfectly understood if they describe in detail those whom they met they will give offence; and their conclusions may be founded upon half knowledge, and therefore unreliable. Such difficulties are lightly met and overcome by those who grasp their pens with authority, and are in the habit of making large books of prose, but what is a poor verse-writer to do?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Traditional Poetry of the Finns For a long time past grammarians, classical or otherwise, have engaged in conjectural, anatomical dissections of the Homeric poems and other national epics; and they will no doubt continue so to do. Their researches are guided by a general abstract principle, and by a conception of this principle as a concrete fact. The first is absolutely true; for the second no proof can be adduced. The true and incontrovertible principle is that which, since the end of last century, has made a distinction between such poems as the AEneid, the Gerusalemme Liberata and others (products of a learned mind when the schools and theory were flourishing), and such poems as belong to a period of spontaneous epic production, during which popular singers have elaborated numerous epic songs of greater or of less extent. These last poems are known as popular or national, not only on account of their subject, their sentiment, their use, but also and principally because the poetry which gave rise to them is natural, spontaneous, collective, impersonal, popular: hence national in its origins and its developments.
