ANTHROPOLOGY AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION IN 1889. 661 



extensive and wonderful riches, the result of his life's work, is his 

 monument. 



The coadjutor of Thomsen was Worsaae, who during his life's work 

 of 25 years did more probably than any other one man, a scientist 

 and not particularly a discoverer, to establish the science of prehistoric 

 anthropology on a firm basis. 



Eugelhardt, Steeustrup, and Thomsen were the early ones. To them 

 must be given the honor of being the discoverers of prehistoric 

 man. But Worsaas used these discoveries with the rarest genius and 

 talent. It was not simply iu prehistoric anthropology his talent was 

 shown, for he was an all round man, who did admirable work iu other 

 branches of the great science, and not content witli that, was called in 

 his later years to be a councillor in the cabiuet of the king, and there 

 showed that rare combination, an illustrious scientist and a profound 

 and sensible statesman. 



The names of others can not be given in this paper. It will be enough 

 if we can but mention their work. A systematic exploration, survey, 

 and map have been commenced of the prehistoric monuments of Den- 

 mark. The arclmeologists are charged with this, and they, accompa- 

 nied by good artists, are traveling and working over the country iu 

 order to make this map with all accuracy in both art and science. One- 

 third of the entire country has been thus surveyed and more than one- 

 third of this great work has been completed. All the mouumeuts have 

 been discovered, designated, drawn, and the most of them are in the 

 hands of the engravers. One thousand five hundred of these monu- 

 ments are now placed under the protection of the law, either as prop- 

 erty of the government or under prohibition to destroy them without 

 giving the government the first right of purchase. Four great leaves 

 of this archteologic map of Denmark were displayed upon the walls, 

 and I confess the feeliug of envy of them and the regret that my own 

 country has not such a map. I was only consoled by the hope that 

 the Bureau of Ethnology would soon have completed the linguistic map 

 which is in progress under its direction. 



These four Danish charts of the archaeological monuments represented 

 the Islands of Mben, a part of the Seelaud, the east of Jutland, and a 

 part of its interior. 



A library containing all or nearly all the Danish books upon the sub- 

 ject of prehistoric anthropology was displayed in the cases in this de- 

 partment, and the organizers thereof were very free in their commen- 

 dations of the private collectors and individuals who had so willingly 

 given of their riches to secure success at the exposition. 



Dr. Sophus Miiller thus expresses his appreciation of the patriotic 

 feeling of the Danish people in making contribution to the need of the 

 governmental display at the French Exposition : 



The Danish archaeological display gives a good idea of tbe patriotic principles of 

 our country, as it is composed for the greatest part of contribution from private col-
