Far Kari's Song in the hills I wandered; soft-ly shone the summer night, And the sun had ne'er a thought of sleep-ing. Now will I bring my sweetheart dear the hidden treasure bright, For faith-ful-ly my vows I would be keep-ing. Heigh, ho! New and fine my stockings are, new and fine my Dearest friend; 'Mongst all men in byr-nie clad The bon-ni- est is he. I have smiled my teeth all white and shin ing, I have smiled my teeth all white and shin - ing with glee. NOTE: The Editors are responsible for the translation the lyrics.

Price $1.50 To the American-Scandinavian Foundation the English reading public is indebted for the first adequate attempt to introduce the versatile genius who built the foundation for drama in Denmark. It is not an attempt at "revival." Ludvig Holberg is too lusty to admit of reviving; he still lives, and most heartily at that. New York Times. II. Poems by Tegnér: The Children of the Lord's Supper, Frithiof's Saga Translated from the Swedish by HENRY Wadsworth Longfellow, and by Rev. W. LEWERY BLACKLEY, with an Introduction by PAUL ROBERT LIEDER. 1914. xxvii+207 pages.

Poems and Songs by Björnstjerne Björnson Translated from the Norwegian in the Original Meters, with an Introduction and Notes, by ARTHUR HUBBELL PALMER. 1915. xxii+264 pages. Price $1.50 Lovers of Björnson will be grateful to the translator for the sympathetic loyalty with which he has adhered to the words as well as the spirit of the original. Not least will they appreciate the fact that he has left the hewn stones of Björnson's lines in their native ruggedness instead of attempting to reduce them to a brick-and-mortar smoothness. Yale Review. IV. Master Olof by August Strindberg Translated from the Swedish, with an Introduction, by EDWIN BJÖRKMAN. 1915. xxiii+125 pages. Price $1.50 In Strindberg's presentation of his hero, Olof becomes the prototype of all idealistic reformers, uncompromising at moments as Ibsen's Brand, but more living than he because more subtly studied in his moods of weakness as well as in his exultation of strength. Dial. V. The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson Translated from the Icelandic, with an Introduction, by Arthur Translated from the Danish by HENNINGE KROHN SCHANCHE. 1916. xii+134 pages.

There has always been a peculiar fascination for the student of American history in that chapter of it which deals with the pre-Columbian discovery of this continent. To sweep away the cobwebs of error is no small task, but Professor Hovgaard's book, with its painstaking following of the scientific method, should go a long way toward its completion. . . . Professor Hovgaard has made the best complete exposition up to date of the voyages of the Norsemen to America. Boston Transcript. II.

Price $3.00 He has attempted to trace the development of interest in popular ballads as reflected in Scandinavian, English, and Scottish criticism particularly during the eighteenth century. . . . Mr. Hustvedt's book is not only valuable by reason of the research and the judicially critical spirit; it is written in a manner that should interest the general reader. Boston Herald. |
