Denmark and the Danes a Survey of Danish Life, Institutions and Culture e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. 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.
