Abstract

My dear Uncle,—For some years past I have occupied my leisure time in collecting information of such of my countrymen as have dwelt in Denmark, or of whom memorials may here be found. These have been partly made use of in a small work entitled “Copenhagen and its Environs,” published by me a few years ago for the use of English travellers.
