Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Two Visits to Denmark: 1872, 1874 This little volume makes no pretence at being a record of adventure or a guide to the tourist. The author of it, as he hopes, has nowhere defined his own fugitive and unimportant silhouette, while endeavouring to paint emphatically the figures amongst whom, with so much emotion, he had the privilege of moving. Nor has he, in any instance, he believes, lingered to describe what the ordinary visitor may see under the competent guidance of a Baedeker. What he has tried to convey is an impression of the moral and intellectual aspect of one of the smallest, but one of the most cultivated countries of Europe, as he saw it nearly forty years ago. Where so many travellers give us a picture of sport or a succession of landscapes, he has sought to present the portrait of a condition of national culture. That the painting had to be superficial is obvious, that it was made at first-hand is equally evident; and the author cannot help hoping that the freshness of the impression may in some measure be held to weigh against its slightness.
