Excerpt from Denmark and Iceland

Denmark in ancient times its later acquisitions and losses - Modern Denmark its position, area and population - Jutland and the Islands: their boundaries and general character - The climate, flora and fauna.

IN the present year the Danish monarchy reaches the thousandth anniversary of its foundation under Gorm the Old, whose reign bridges over the interval between mere sagas and the dawn of history. Before his time all is dark and chaotic; after it we can trace every link in the long chain of descent, that binds together the Danish kings of the nineteenth century and this first ruler of a kingdom of Denmark.
