to

pass the night there, previously to their departure for Norway. It was our intention also to visit Norway; but having a great desire to witness the remarkable appearance exhibited in the north of Sweden, at this season of the year, by the presence of the solstitial sun through the entire night, and to explore the arctic provinces of Lapland, and our friends deeming such a project too extensive for the time they had allotted to their journey, we took a contrary road; continuing along the defile, to a little village called Halby, distant four miles and a half from the place where we parted from them. Then, for the first time, we seemed to be fully sensible that we were in a foreign land, without friends, and without home. The loss of our companions, by whose observations we had benefitted, and in whose society we had passed so many agreeable hours, depressed our spirits; and we thought only of the probable chances there might be, of our never meeting either of them again. We had countries to traverse which to us were entirely unknown; and the prospect of satisfying our curiosity by a sight of those distant regions, was clouded by the consciousness, that we should no longer share any gratification it might afford with those who had hitherto participated in all our amusements.

HALBY is situate upon an isthmus of a small CHAP. peninsula or promontory called Wener's Nose, which projects from the north-eastern side of the mountain Halleberg into the Lake, between two bays, the Denner, or Detter Wiken, and the Dalbo Wiken'. At the southern extremity of the latter, lies the town of Wenersburg; the Denner Wiken, of the two, being the eastern bay. Viewed from this village, Halleberg exhibits a more regular basaltic structure, than in those
