Excerpt from Practical Studies in Fermentation: Being Contributions to the Life History of Micro-Organisms
The new ideas which I brought forward in my practical studies in fermentation were at first favourably received by a few only of my colleagues, but were, on the contrary, opposed by most of them. I am glad to be able to state here that some of my former opponents may now be counted amongst the most active supporters of my work. I regard this as the greatest tribute which could be paid to it.
Notwithstanding the success which in different countries attended my endeavours at reform, I had in reality to fight an unbroken battle for its progress; every step had to be gained by a struggle, and it is this which has to a large extent put a characteristic stamp upon the following re searches. A great incitement to me in this case, as always, has been the desire to contribute to that literature, the object of which is to prove to the outside world that we in Denmark earnestly take our share of the work of progress, and that, notwithstanding all political reverses, our little nation is still able to develop and carry out independent scientific research.
In conclusion I have much pleasure in expressing my best thanks to Dr. Miller for the great interest and care which he has bestowed upon the translation of my work.
