Listen to the exultations of Adam of Bremen(A.D. 1080), of which the substance is agreeable to truth:
Ecce illa ferocissima Danorum, etc., natio ..... jamdudum novit in Dei laudibus Alleluia resonare ..... Ecce populus ille piraticus ..... suis nunc finibus contentus est. Ecce patria horribilis semper inaccessa propter cultum idolorum ... praedicatores veritatis ubique certatim admittit etc., etc. (de Sitû Daniæ, etc., p. 40, 41, edit. Elzevir; a curious and original prospect of the north of Europe, and the introduction of Christianity.).
