Chap. XIII.

lithographs from many of the original portraits in the
Gallery of Frederiksborg.
The Danes are national in their feelings, and a
thorough knowledge of the history and romance of their
country is early instilled into their minds.
Flytte-dag depends upon Easter, which this year falls

real six months to the 28th April, when all Copenhagen
will be again in motion.
I believe this love of locomotion to be the last
remnant of the old Viking spirit of the Danes. They
can now no longer seek adventure far and wide, but the
ruling passion will out; so, reduced in the area of their
wanderings, they flit twice a year, from one street of
their capital to another, working out by these means
the native restlessness which might otherwise lead to
trouble in these days of order and government.
