IN the preparation of this book the writers have attempted to give an account of recent social, economic and political movements in Denmark, and a description of the origin and development particularly of institutions peculiar to that country, and which have won her the admiration of Europe. Denmark, during the last half century, has passed through the throes of a wonderful regeneration. Her peasantry has been emancipated from a condition of veritable serfdom her education has been liberalised her land system, agriculture and finance have been reorganised and brought to a pitch of excellence which is the envy of many a greater, yet less perfectly developed, state.
