Iceland's Thousand Years ★ The book, Iceland’s Thousand Years was such an immediate success, that a second edition was printed, which is handsomely bound, and lettered in gold leaf. We have received scores of letters that pay tribute to the value of the book. Fol- lowing are brief excerpts from letters re- ceived from leading men who are inter- ested in this venture: “After having read the book, I wish to congratulate you heartily; it seems to me the book is a great credit, not only to the Icelandic Canadian Club, . . . but also to all the lecturers, and most especially to Iceland itself, and us Ice- landers. "I think you are on the right way in creating an interest in Iceland, using the English language, and I think your work is invaluable; and probably that will be the part that endures after the language has been lost” (to the general public, here). . . Dr. Helgi P. Briem, Consul-General, New York “It has given me great pleasure to study the contents of this book, and I know that it will be a big factor in ac- quainting people in this country with ‘he history and culture of Iceland. . . It is especially suitable for sending to those people who, because of their interest in Iceland, and their love of knowledge in general, write us, requesting material and information on Icelandic history and culture. . Thor Thors, Icelandic Minister to Washington
