Lachesis Lapponica; Or, A Tour in Lapland, Volume 1

Note 6 — HELSINGLAND.

Charles Troilius translation

The original is very obscure, and I have been obliged partly to guess at the sense of the intermingled Latin and Swedish. I beg leave to suggest that the deficiency of brandy among this sequestered people is perhaps a more probable cause of their robust stature, and even of their neatness and refinement, than that assigned by Linnæus.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
