SCHONNING, or, as it is more generally spelt, 
Schoning (Gerrard), a learned Norwegian, was born at 
Skatnses, in Nordland, in 1722. He received the early part 
of his education at the school of Drontheim; and after 
having completed his studies at other seminaries, where he 
was distinguished by his great talents, he was, in 1751, 
elected a member of the Royal Society for improving the 
Danish language and history. In 1758 he became a member 
of the Academy of Sciences at Copenhagen, and was, a few 
years alter, chiefly instrumental in forming the Drontheim 
Society, which obtained the title of the Royal Norwegian 
Society. In 1764 he was appointed professor of eloquence 
and history in the academy of Soroe; in 1772 he was chosen 
a member of the Historical Institute of Gottingen; and in 
1774 appointed a counsellor of justice. In the years 1773, 
1774, 1775, he went on a tour at the king’s expense, 
through various parts of Norway, to examine the different 
remains of antiquity, and collect information in respect to 
the physical and economical state of the country. After this 
he became private keeper of the records to the king, and an 
active member of the society formed for the purpose of pub¬ 
lishing Icelandic works from the collection of Arnas Mag- 
naeus. He died in 1780, bequeathing his library, which 
contained a large number of books, to the Royal Norwegian 
Society. His works are very numerous, of which the titles 
are given in the General Biography, and among which the 
following may be mentioned as the more important: “ An 
Essay towards the ancient Geography of the Northern 
Countries, particularly Norway,” “Observations on the 
old Northern Marriages and Weddings;” “ De Anni Ra- 
tione apud veteres Septentrionales“ History of Norway 
from the Foundation of the Kingdom till the Time of Harold 
Haarfager ;” “ Travels through Norway,” &c. Among 
the papers which this author caused to be inserted in the 
Transactions of the Norwegian Society, and of the Aca¬ 
demy of Sciences at Copenhagen, were the following:— 
“ On the Northern Lights;” “ On the Knowledge which 
the ancient Greeks and Romans had of the northern 
Countries, and particularly of Scandinavia;” “ On the Ex¬ 
pedition of Darius Hystaspis into Scythia,” and many others.
