Book Description

Excerpt from Danish Life in Town Country The Danes have accepted their reverses in the great political game of the nations with resigna tion. The only really bitter sting left is the severance from the mother country, by the last unhappy war of 1864 with the Great Powers of Germany and Austria, of the Danes in North Sleswick, who still cling to their old language and old sympathies with a fervour unaffected by the nigh upon forty years which have elapsed since the cession to Prussia. To this day in many Danish churches the pastor ofiers up prayers for our brethren in South Jutland, as the Duchy of Sleswick is often called by the Danes. Other wise the Danes are a contented people, and after two or three decades of somewhat pronounced political discord, things are now about to right themselves in accordance with the wishes and feelings of the bulk of the nation.
