Richard F. Burton Ultima Thule

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Peter Porcupine, over combativeness, and the undue spirit of opposition that characterises an objector-general, with the morbid object of gaining popularity by stating something new - a hasty judgment, which justifies me in writing these volumes, and in supporting my previously expressed views. I can appeal for confirmation to the dozen intelligent English tourists who were in Iceland at the same time as myself: all united with me in deridin'g their previous conceptions, and in forming the estimate here offered to the public.
