Scandinavia, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a History of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Scandinavia, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a History of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway
Tan design of these volumes is to furnish the reader with a succinct history of the Scandinavian kingdoms - Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. N o writer, native or foreign, has hitherto undertaken to imbody the chronicles of these countries in a uni form and connected narrative, so as to exhibit under one view the state of government and society in an, cient and modern times, the condition of the inbah itants and the productions of the soil, their institu tions under the barbarous ages, and the progress they have now attained in literature, arts, and civiliza tion. The annals of these contiguous nations have often been compiled separately, and in detached por tions appearing at distant intervals, but no single work has yet attempted to epitomize the whole in a collected and contem'aneous form. Whether the experiment now m shall prove successful, or in any degree realize the expectations which the im portance of the subject will naturally call forth, are questions that must be left to the decision of the public: all that can here with propriety be asserted is, that the utmost care and research have been ex pended in procuring full and authentic information.
