Several English Travellers having, at various times,
expressed to me the want of a Hand-Book for (more
immediately) Copenhagen and its Environs, I, acting
on their suggestion — indeed, I may say, acceding
to their request — have given my leisure time to
the compilation of such a work — hence the present
Guide.
The Publishers, Messrs. Steen and Son, have,
with their usual liberality, spared no expense in
the getting up of the book, the Maps of which
especially, engraved expressly for it, evince how
much
con am o ve
they have entered into the un
dertaking.
To those Friends and Gentlemen, who so
kindly lent me their assistance and so readily
provided me with information in their respective
departments, I here beg to tender my warmest
thanks: nor must I fail in my acknowledgments to
a Guide, in Danish, published last year.
