50 RUNIC STONES MENTIONING THE WESTERN PARTS. quent visits paid by the men of the North to the British Isles. These relics, no doubt,’particularly deserve to be brought into notice, and to be made subjects of inquiry, and this is more especially the case with the Runic stones, in as much as almost every one of these requires a very careful examination, when certain results are to be founded on the inscriptions which they exhibit. Many have, in the course of time, unfortunately been lost; but in as far as they still are preserved, more accurate copies of the in- scriptions than hitherto have been published ought to be procured. I here only propose to lay before the antiquarian reader a new edition of those inscriptions hitherto known, in which the Western countries are mentioned, hoping that such an edition may be the means of occasioning a careful examination of all these monumental stones and a more searching investigation into the contents of the inscriptions, whereof the results might suitably be communicated to the public at large in the “Annaler for nordisk Oldkyndig- hed og Historie”, a periodical work which enjoys a vast circulation. This new edition must, with due regard to space, be framed on a plan of the most concise brevity, and it is laid before the public with no other pretentions than that of occasioning a more careful investigation of these inscriptions. These Runic stones are here arranged according to the places where they have been found, or where they still are found. They exhibit an irrefragable proof of the inter- course between these places and the British Isles in the days of yore. In this edition I have chiefly used for my guidance J. II. Liljegren’s Honiara p. 108-110 and the uRun-Urkun- der” edited by the same author (jhere bearing the quotation- mark L) , also J. Goranssons Bautil (B) and Worm’s Mo- numenta Danica (W). The Runic inscriptions are given
