Excerpt from Scandinavian Literature: With Short Chronological Specimens of the Old Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, and a Notice of the Dalecarlian and Ferroe Dialects This is a very brief sketch of the language and literature of Scandinavia, taken from the introduction to the author's anglo-saxon Dictionary.
