Reseña del editor

The present work on theE eligion of theN orthmen is a translation of Nordmndenes ReligionsfokfatninC tI Hedendommen, by the learned Professor Keyser, of Christiania. It was written by him in order to give a more extended publicity to a series of lectm-es on the Popular Life of the ]N orthmen inH eathendom, which he delivered before the University of Norway, and is properly the first of a series upon that subject. In his Preface the Professor says: Not only the growing general interest in our Fatherland sA ntiquity, but also the students demand for a guide to the early history of theN orthmen in some measure adapted to his wants, has at length induced me to publish in a wider circle, what for a series of years I have delivered to a limited one.
