This is the book which furnished the text in an English dress (London, 1770) known as Northern Antiquities, and a part of his account is given in the American Museum (Philad., 1789). In the Edinburgh edition of 1809 it is called: Northern antiquities: or a description of the manners, customs, religion and laws, of the ancient Danes, including those of our Saxon ancestors. With a translation of the Edda and other pieces, from the ancient Icelandic tongue. Translated from “L’introduction à l’histoire de Dannemarc, &c.,” par Mons. Mallet. With additional notes by the English translator [Bishop Percy], and Goranson’s Latin version of the Edda. In 2 vols. The chapters defining the locations are omitted, and others substituted, in the reprint of the Northern Antiquities in Bohn’s library.
