...

of the aurora borealis. His main object was to determine the height of the phenomenon above the surface of the earth. Mr. Tromholt did not, however, open his eyes only to watch the aurora borealis. He examined everything that came in his way; and he took with him, moreover, a photographic apparatus, of which he made use at every opportunity, the result being that the two volumes contain, in a literary as well as in a pictorial sense, a very complete sketch of the conditions of existence in an arctic land that has been but

little visited by Englishmen. He devotes a long and learned though not by any means a dry chapter to his theories respecting the aurora borealis, and elaborately explains the series of observations which lead him to suppose that the average height above the earth of the lower edges of the aurora which he examined was slightly over seventy miles. The two volumes may be read with pleasure. Their scientific value is considerable; and they give the most minute account that has yet been published of the home life and habits of one of the few remaining savage peoples of Europe." - St. James's budget, May 23.
