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 (née 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 Rostgaardianus in History 
at our University, whose work on the history of the Normans will 
especially be known to many English readers.
