1897] STEENSTRUP 165 



friend and teacher, the glory of his country, of Europe, and of his 

 century. That he was honoured with the highest distinctions from 

 his country and from many other sources, I need not tell, nor 

 enumerate the learned societies (Stockholm, Christiania, Berlin, 

 Paris, London, etc.) of which he was a member. This sketch of 

 Steenstrup's life and work may appear longer than usual to the 

 readers of this journal, but it is not long or detailed enough to do 

 justice to what ought to have been said. I cannot conclude with- 

 out naming his wife, Ida {nee Kaarsberg), the love of his youth, lost 

 several years before her husband died. Several children died 

 earlier or later ; one daughter is left, and there is one son, Johannes 

 Steenstrup, Doctor in Law and Professor Iiostgaardianus in History 

 at our University, whose work on the history of the Normans will 

 especially be known to many English readers.
