This commerce is facilitated by the excellent roads, and in winter by the whole country being covered with snow for four or five months, which renders the conveyance of goods in sledges easy and expeditious. In summer a like advantage is derived. from the navi gation of the sea, which washes most of the provinces. The Trol hiittan Canal is navigated by a great number of barges, which bring down to Goteborg, for export, large quantities of iron and steel, and timber in planks and boards; and they carry into the interior corn, whiskey, salt, herrings, sugar, butter, fish, wine, and some other articles.

goods of different descriptions, such as bar-iron, alum, corn, salt, herrings and etromings, whiskey, bricks, and tiles.
