My life is a lovely story, happy and full of incident. If, when I
was a boy, and went forth into the world poor and friendless, a
good fairy had met me and said, "Choose now thy own course through
life, and the object for which thou wilt strive, and then,
according to the development of thy mind, and as reason requires, I
will guide and defend thee to its attainment," my fate could not,
even then, have been directed more happily, more prudently, or
better. The history of my life will say to the world what it says
to me-There is a loving God, who directs all things for the best.
My native land, Denmark, is a poetical land, full of popular
traditions, old songs, and an eventful history, which has become
bound up with that of Sweden and Norway. The Danish islands are
possessed of beautiful beech woods, and corn and clover fields:
they resemble gardens on a great scale. Upon one of these green
islands, Funen, stands Odense, the place of my birth. Odense is
called after the pagan god Odin, who, as tradition states, lived
here: this place is the capital of the province, and lies
twenty-two Danish miles from Copenhagen.
