Excerpt from Journey to the World Under Ground: Being the Subterraneous Travels of Niels Klim
This Work, while it amuses, does not fail to instruct; as it comprises, with much light and pleasant matter, a complete system of ethics. The Translator of Lewis Holberg's Life of himself, recently published in Hunt and Clarke's Series of Autobiography, prefaces it thus: - "Holberg is justly regarded by the Danes as the creator of their modern school of literature. His productions are but little known in this country, and still less in the more southern parts of Europe; but in the North of Europe, there are few names which are held in greater esteem.
