Excerpt:
What a curious fact it is, that among us, English-speaking people,
scholarly investigation has clung rather to the classic lore and
mythology of Greece and Rome, than to the less classic, but far purer
and truer religion of the North.
It is much to be deplored that so slight a knowledge of Scandinavian
Mythology prevails, popularly, with those who boast descent from Hengist
and Horsa, and whose pride it is that in their veins flows the blood
that long ago thrilled through the bold hearts of the Vikings,
descendants of the old Norse-Gods.
