expressed to me the w ant of a H an d-B oo k for (more
imm ediately) Copenhagen and its E nvirons, I, acting
on th eir suggestion — indeed, I m ay say, acceding
to th eir req uest — have given m y leisure tim e to
the com pilation o f such a w ork — hence the present
G uide.
T h e P u b lish e rs, M essrs. Steen and Son, have,
w ith th eir usual lib e ra lity , spared no expense in
the getting up of th e b o o k , the M aps o f which

dertaking.
T o those F riend s and G e n tlem en , who so
kindly lent me th eir assistance and so readily
provided me w ith inform ation in their respective
d ep artm en ts, I here beg to tender m y w arm est
th an k s: nor m ust I fail in m y acknow ledgm ents to
a Guide, in D anish, published last year.
