Excerpt from The Soul of Denmark

In a world of book-makers, a visit to a country does not, as the World and his Wife seem to think, confer the right to the infliction of a new book upon a long-suffering people. If the Stranger within the Gates simply cannot refrain from utterance, he should at the outset state the reason, so as to give the reader, if he doesn"t like it, a chance to burn the book - or the book-maker.

The writer has ventured to utter "The Soul of Denmark," because, in the first place, he thinks it "a consummation devoutly to be wished" that Mother Denmark and her friend across the North Sea, John Bull, should understand and learn from each other, and in these pages has sought to bring them closer.
